Description

Alfatron ALF-WU6-8K 8K HDMI 2.1 6x1 Switcher and Scaler

The ALF-WU6-8K is an HDMI 2.1 switcher and scaler with four HDMI and two USB-C inputs and one HDMI output. It supports full HDMI 2.1, FRL 48Gbps bandwidth, HDR, and HDCP 2.3. This switcher includes de-embedded audio, scaling, EDID management, and front-panel LED indicators for power and signal status.

The switcher supports resolutions up to 8K 60Hz 4:2:0, 8K 30Hz 4:4:4, and 4K 120Hz, with switching times within 3 seconds. EDID management is provided through a 5-pin DIP switch, allowing the source to use a display's EDID or internally stored EDID settings.

De-embedded audio outputs include one balanced audio output and one optical output. Downscaling supports conversion from 8K to 4K and from 4K to 1080p for legacy displays. Additional features include a backlit LED for operating status, RS-232, IR and GUI control, TCP/IP control, and CEC display ON/OFF control with a backlit button.
