SP-H2-0208-10

2x8 8K, HDMI 2.1 Switcher, Splitter

The Netvio SP-H2-0208-10 is a professional-grade 2×8 HDMI 2.1 splitter designed for ultra-high-definition AV distribution in corporate, education, retail, broadcast, and residential environments. With 48Gbps bandwidth and full HDCP 2.3 compliance, it supports resolutions up to 8K@60Hz (4:2:0, 12-bit), 8K@30Hz (4:4:4, 12-bit), and 4K@120Hz (4:4:4, 12-bit).

Each of the 8 HDMI outputs can independently downscale 8K content to 4K or 1080p, ensuring full compatibility in mixed-display systems. Advanced processing also enables HDR-to-SDR conversion for legacy displays.

For audio flexibility, the unit features optical S/PDIF and balanced/unbalanced analog outputs with gain control, allowing direct connection to amplifiers, sound systems, or external processors. EDID management, auto/manual input switching, and a built-in HDMI signal generator further simplify installation and troubleshooting.

Control options include front panel buttons, IR remote, RS-232, USB-C service, and API commands, ensuring seamless integration into both standalone and controlled AV systems.

Plug & Play

The SP-H2-0208-10 is a splitter, not a matrix, which means it does not allow you to route each input to different outputs independently. Instead, it is designed to take up to two HDMI sources and let you select one input at a time. The chosen source is then distributed simultaneously to all eight HDMI outputs.
HDMI 2.1 represents a major leap forward in video and audio transmission compared with HDMI 2.0 and earlier. The most important difference is the increased bandwidth — up to 48 Gbps — which allows it to carry far more data. This higher bandwidth enables support for 8K resolution at 60Hz, 4K at 120Hz, and even higher refresh rates for future-ready displays.
To carry the full 48 Gbps bandwidth required by HDMI 2.1, you need certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cables. These cables are specifically designed and tested to support resolutions up to 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz, with full HDR formats (HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG) and gaming features like VRR and ALLM.

Using older High Speed (HDMI 1.4) or Premium High Speed (HDMI 2.0) cables will not guarantee full HDMI 2.1 feature support, especially at 8K resolutions or 4K120 gaming. For professional AV installs, always specify certified Ultra High Speed or AOC HDMI cables to ensure compatibility and avoid signal dropouts.
The splitter fully supports HDMI 2.1 with 48Gbps bandwidth, handling resolutions up to 8K@60Hz (4:2:0 12-bit), 8K@30Hz (4:4:4 12-bit), and 4K@120Hz (4:4:4 12-bit). It also passes through the latest HDR standards including HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, as well as gaming formats like ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate).
Yes. One of the strengths of the SP-H2-0208-10 is that each output can be configured independently. This means you can send native 8K signals to compatible displays, while downscaling specific outputs to 4K or 1080p for legacy screens — all at the same time. This prevents resolution conflicts between modern and older displays.
The SP-H2-0208-10 offers multiple control pathways to suit different installation needs:

Front Panel Buttons – Simple source selection and output configuration directly on the device.

IR Remote Control – The included IR handset provides easy switching and settings adjustments from a distance.

RS-232 Serial Control – Allows integration into professional AV systems with custom commands for automation.

API / Third-Party Control – The unit supports open API commands, making it compatible with wider AV control environments.

These options ensure the SP-H2-0208-10 can be operated in both standalone plug-and-play setups and fully integrated control systems, giving installers and users flexibility in how they manage source distribution and output settings.
Yes. In addition to distributing HDMI audio along with the video, the SP-H2-0208-10 includes dedicated audio de-embedding outputs. This means you can extract audio from the HDMI input and feed it directly into external amplifiers, receivers, or distributed audio systems without needing a separate HDMI sink device.

It provides two de-embed options:

Optical S/PDIF output — supports up to Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround formats.

Balanced/Unbalanced analog stereo output — supports LPCM 2-channel audio with adjustable gain, making it suitable for professional sound systems or simple stereo playback.

These outputs operate alongside the HDMI distribution, so video can be sent to all displays while audio is simultaneously routed into your preferred sound system.
