ADI launches HDMI crosspoint transceivers for A/V systems
A new family of HDMI crosspoint transceivers has been introduced by Analog Devices.
The three devices in the range are designed to distribute high definition audio and video content across a range of professional and home A/V systems.
Up to five HDMI inputs and up to two HDMI outputs are included, as well as support for for full audio extraction and insertion (SPDIF and 8-channel I2S audio) for each video channel.
Unlike competing devices that require an extra component to carry a second audio channel, the ADV7625, ADV7626 and ADV7627 allow for the extraction and re-insertion of audio from and to each HDMI data stream.
This means audio can be processed and re-inserted into the video stream, rendered locally or switched independently.
