Introduction
The EX-G048Areceives and reconstructs (equalizing & reclocking) a DVI signal and
distributes it to three identical outputs. It can be perfectly cascaded with one another in
order to obtain more DVI outputs (at least 6 tiers). Each output can be turned on/off
individually through an IR remote control. It will also process (read & store) the EDID
information sent over the Data Display Channel (DDC).

We suggest you connect the monitor with the lowest resolution support to the
DVI-OUT 1. (E.g. Suppose monitor A might support a maximum resolution of 1920 x
1200, monitor B supports a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 and monitor C
supports a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768, please connect monitor C to
DVI-OUT 1).
Unless you would like to use the default universal EDID, please set DIP switch 2 at
off position, which allows the EX-G048Ato read the first connected monitor’s EDID.
1. Single Device
1. Connect a monitor, a projector or other displays with DVI inputs by a male-to-male
DVI cable to EX-G048ADVI-OUT 1.
2. Plug DVI Y-cable into EX-G048ADVI-OUT 2
3. Connect the second and third displays to the DVI female connectors of the Y-cable.
4. Plug power adapter cable into 5V DC jack.
5. Connect a PC or other devices with DVI outputs to EX-G048ADVI-IN.
2. Mutiple deveices- cascading
Hardware Installation
1. Connect a monitor, a projector or other displays with DVI input by a male-to-male DVI
cable to the first EX-G048ADVI-OUT 1.
2. Plug DVI Y-cable into EX-G048ADVI-OUT 2 and then plug in power adapter.
3. Connect the second display to the DVI female connectors of the long line of the
Y-cable and plug in the short line of the Y-cable to the DVI-IN of the second EX-G048A.
4. Connect the third display to the DVI-OUT 1 of the second EX-G048A.
5. Follow from step 2 to step 4 for cascading the remaining devices.
