Introduction
The EX-G090 1x4 HDMI 1.3 Distribution Amplifier with CEC Control provides the most cost
effective and advanced HDMI 1.3 splitter solution on the market, by which the high definition video and
high quality audio can be transmitted to 4 different locations without losing quality. With built-in USB
firmware update mechanism, the compatibility among countless HDMI sources and receivers can be
further guaranteed. With 12 bit deep color video and high definition audio support, EX-G090 is suitable
for high quality A/V broadcasting, digital signage and education applications! Furthermore, the
embedded separate CEC paths provide independent CEC communication channels between CEC
capable source and all the individual receivers. This particular function makes the CEC control from
source to different monitors feasible, which is not possible on typical HDMI splitters with CEC pass
thru!

Notice
1. While connecting a new monitor to the splitter, experiencing a short period of time no display may
be expected. Automatic EDID learning will analyze the newly connected monitor to see if the EDID
for the HDMI input is necessary to update!
2. For long range high definition HDMI transmission applications, please adopt CAT-5 cable based
HDMI extenders.
3. For firmware update through USB, users MUST first turn off the power, plug USB cable connected
to your PC, and then power up the module! In this setup, the power LED indicator will NOT blink,
and this is normal! Execute the attached or download EPFlash.exe, and the following window will
pop up. Click on “OpenFile” button to direct to the new firmware HEX file, and keep PORT at USB
0! Meantime, keep “Program With Verification” selected, and then click on “START” button on the
bottom of the window! Wait for seconds until the update process is completed! After firmware
update is successfully accomplished, please unplug USB cable and power off the splitter!
