    Overview 1 Overview The ZIG-PHASED is a simple HDMI 2.0 1x2 Repeater, which takes a single HDMI source and outputs the audio and video to two independent HDMI sinks. The HDMI outputs are featured with independent scaling capabilities and will automatically optimize the video resolutions depending on the capabilities of the connected displays.
