Description
The HT-FLARE-2 is a 1×2 HDMI distribution amplifier designed to deliver a single HDMI source to two displays simultaneously. It supports resolutions up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 and preserves wide color gamut and high dynamic range content. The unit is intended for installations requiring reliable dual-output distribution without complex configuration.
Key features include an 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0 signal path, HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 compatibility, and onboard audio extraction to both analog and optical outputs. The device supports three EDID handling modes to accommodate mixed-display environments and ensures signal negotiation stability. HDR support is retained across outputs when source and displays are compatible.
Performance specifications include full 18Gbps bandwidth and support for 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 video formats. Audio formats supported include LPCM up to 7.1 channels, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD Master Audio. Maximum effective transmission over standard HDMI cable is 15 m using 26 AWG cable types.
Connectivity is straightforward with one HDMI input and two HDMI outputs on the HT-FLARE-2 plus extracted analog and optical audio outputs. The unit supports simultaneous routing to 4K and 1080p displays via intelligent downscaling. HDCP compliance and multiple EDID modes make it compatible with a wide range of sources and displays.
Typical applications include digital signage systems, small commercial AV installations, and home theater setups where a single 4K source must feed two displays. It is useful for demonstration rooms, point-of-sale displays, and distributed presentation environments that require identical or mixed-resolution displays. The audio extraction options also allow feeding AV receivers or audio processors separately from video feeds.
Installation is plug-and-play with minimal setup required and an ultra-compact enclosure that fits tight racks or AV shelves. The unit draws low power and has an operating range suitable for typical indoor AV environments. Hall Technologies designed the FLARE series to prioritize signal integrity and ease of integration for installers and integrators.
