CYP has joined the ranks of promoting the Apple HomeKit ecosystem. It’s hoped that a variety of industry partners can communicate with each other through this annual meeting and jointly promote the development of the industry.

CYP showcased one of its Pro AV products, the CPLUS-421PLV. This product is a UHD 4 input, 3 output, HDMI/HDBaseT matrix with built-in amplifier. It provides high-quality video and audio, including support for 12-bit HDR, Dolby Vision, and ARC. It’s suitable for both home and business installations. The CPLUS-421PLV provides inputs for up to 4 HDMI signal sources, which can, for example, be simultaneously extended to displays located in a living room, kitchen, and bedroom of the home, allowing users to enjoy a flexible and unrestrained viewing experience. Notably, over the HDBaseT outputs, video can be extended up to 70 meters at 1080p@60Hz, and 35 meters at 4K@60Hz.
