2Output 4K HDMI with Selectable Analog Audio Card (F16)

Ideal Use Cases

The UHDA-OUT2-F16 is designed for VS-1616 Series Modular Multi-Format Digital Matrix Switchers that need two 4K HDMI output channels. It is suited to matrix configurations where two HDMI destinations must receive video at up to 4K@60Hz with 4:2:0 color sampling. Its configurable analog audio functions also accommodate installations that require different audio handling methods at the output stage.

The card supports three selectable audio approaches: keeping audio embedded in the HDMI signal, de-embedding it as unbalanced stereo audio, or using ARC on the upper HDMI port. This flexibility makes the model relevant when an installation must coordinate HDMI video distribution with an analog stereo audio path.

• Two-channel HDMI output from a compatible VS-1616 matrix switcher
• 4K60 4:2:0 video distribution
• Embedded or de-embedded unbalanced stereo audio
• ARC operation through the upper output port

Why Choose This Model

The defining advantage of the UHDA-OUT2-F16 is the combination of two 4K HDMI outputs and selectable analog audio behavior on one VS-1616 output card. Instead of limiting the system to a single audio arrangement, the card lets the installation use embedded audio, de-embedded audio, or ARC according to the required signal path. The ARC capability is specifically assigned to the upper port.

Its stated video format is 4K@60Hz with 4:2:0 sampling, while the listed bandwidth is 8.91Gbps. These concrete limits make it possible to evaluate the card against a planned matrix configuration without assuming support for video or interface features that are not specified in the source data.

Installation and Integration

This model is an output card for the VS-1616 Series Modular Multi-Format Digital Matrix Switchers. Integration planning should therefore begin with the intended VS-1616 system and its required two-channel output arrangement. Two HDMI signal paths can be assigned from the card, with the audio mode selected to suit the connected signal workflow.

Port selection is especially important when ARC is required because ARC is available on the upper port. For other audio requirements, the card can carry embedded audio or provide de-embedded unbalanced stereo audio. The source data does not specify included cables, package contents, dimensions, power requirements, HDMI version, or HDCP support, so those details should be confirmed separately when completing an installation plan.

Performance Highlights

The UHDA-OUT2-F16 outputs two HDMI signals at 4K@60Hz using 4:2:0 sampling. A listed bandwidth of 8.91Gbps defines the supplied performance information. The two-channel design supports two outputs from the compatible modular matrix platform, while the selectable audio functions allow the video and audio paths to be arranged around the needs of the system.

• Two HDMI output channels
• 4K@60Hz output format
• 4:2:0 color sampling
• 8.91Gbps listed bandwidth

No support for 4K at 120Hz, HDR, eARC, wireless connectivity, or other unlisted formats is stated in the provided data. The performance specification should therefore be understood specifically as 4K60 4:2:0 output with the documented audio options.

What Makes It Different

The card stands apart through its selectable treatment of analog audio. Embedded mode retains audio within the HDMI output signal, while de-embedded operation provides unbalanced stereo audio. ARC offers another available audio path on the upper HDMI port. These alternatives are integrated into a two-channel output card built for the VS-1616 Series rather than being presented as separate product variants.

This combination is particularly useful when both HDMI outputs share the same stated 4K60 video capability but the installation requires deliberate audio routing. The port-specific ARC feature also provides a clear basis for assigning the upper output when return-channel audio is part of the design.

Final Assessment

The UHDA-OUT2-F16 is a focused expansion option for a compatible VS-1616 Series matrix switcher. It provides two 4K@60Hz 4:2:0 HDMI outputs, an 8.91Gbps listed bandwidth, and selectable embedded, de-embedded, or ARC analog audio functionality. Its strongest fit is a system that needs two defined 4K HDMI outputs together with flexible unbalanced stereo audio handling and ARC on the upper port.
