1. Introduction
This HDMI v1.3 Splitter is an impressive device that can handle all of your HDMI
signal distribution needs. From a single HDMI input it can transfer Deep Color
(10-bit and 12-bit) video and new lossless compressed (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby
Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio) digital audio with high bandwidth up
to 225MHz (6.75Gbps) to four HDMI outputs. Besides splitting and distributing,
it also amplifies and equalizes your signal, providing high I/O performance
on both audio and video. On top of that, this device provides additional
features like CEC, EDID and a system reset function for maintaining superb
image quality.

5. Features
 HDMI 1.3, HDCP1.1 and DVI1.0 compliant Receiver
 Deep color video up to 12bit, 1080p@(24/60)Hz
 Simultaneously displays one HDMI source on four displays
 HDCP keysets that allow each output to work independently when
connected to an HDMI display
 Splits a single HDMI source into four outputs(max.) without signal loss
 Supports DVI source and display via an HDMI to/from DVI adaptor
cable.
 Supports LPCM 7.1CH, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD
Master Audio transmission (32-192kHz Fs sample rate)
 Supports a wide range of PC and HDTV resolutions from VGA to UXGA
and 480i to 1080p
 HDMI cable distance testing showed that with 1080p/8bits resolution the
Input/Output source can reach up to 20/15 meters away, and at
1080p/12bits the I/O source can reach up to 10/10 meters.
Note:
A. Cable tested with CAT-6E /23AWG/Solid, using cables of another type
may result in a different operating distance.
B. Cable distance test included the following: PS3 120G and 37" Samsung
12-bit LCD TV.
C. Figures provided in this manual are for reference only, actual
figures may depend on the source and display used along with the
type of cable.
 Supports EDID functionality and settings for Deep Color and color space.
When EDID is switched to TV mode, the system will automatically detect
Deep Color (8 bits or 12 bits) and color space (RGB or Y/Cb/Cr) settings
from the source's EDID and record it into the unit. (For more detail please
refer to section 7.1)
 Supports xvYCC and CEC bypass and also system reset functions
 Has CEC functions such as one touch play & record, a programmable timer,
menu language, deck & device menu control, OSD display, device OSD
transfer, remote control pass through, system audio control and system
standby.
 System standby will only be actived once the last TV is switched to standby

7. Operation Controls and Functions
7.1 Front Panel
①Power Switch: This switch turns the system on and off.
②Power LED Indicator: This LED is green when power is on and red when
the power is OFF.
③Sync LED: When an HDMI source is connected to the input port, this
LED will turn on only when the splitter has established a link.
④CEC button & LED: Press this button to switch the CEC function on or off.
The LED will turn yellow when the CEC is switched on. The factory default
setting is on.
Note:
1. In order to perform the CEC function, both source and display must
have CEC support.
2. The standby mode will only be activated when the last display has
been switched to standby.
3. All four HDMI outputs support CEC.
⑤Output LED: When the HDMI display has been connected to the output
ports and a signal is being sent the LED will switch on.
⑥EDID switch STD/TV: When switched to STD, EDID's manual settings of
Deep Color (12 or 8 bits) and color space (RGB or YCbCr) are allowed.
When switched to TV, the splitter will use the external EDID. If the EDID is
switched to STD users can then change the EDID's Deep Color value
between 8 or 12bits, under the condition that all outputs have the
same number of bits. For example, the EDID is switched to 12 bits but
only 3 output displays support 12 bits and one supports 8 bits. The 8 bit
display will not be able to display any media. Therefore it is reccomened
to choose settings compatible with all connected displays. Users can
also switch between RGB or YCbCr for the EDID's color space. But again,
all output displays need to comply with the selected settings. Most TV
monitors support both RGB and YCbCr but some monitors only support
RGB. When the EDID color space is set to YCbCr some monitors may not
display any image and/or display a "reddish" image. In cases like this
switching the EDID to RGB is a must. Factory default is set as YCbCr.
When the EDID is switched to TV, the unit will detect the first HDMI output

EDID and record/save it in the unit. If the display attached to the first
output source is DVI it will skip to next output until the first HDMI is
detected.
⑦Sys. Reset switch: It is suggested to always turn this setting OFF, unless
performing a system reset. By turning it to on, the system will reset
all connected displays to HDMI input 1 once every 8~10 minutes. Factory
default is set as OFF.
Note:
The system reset switch only functions on displays with a built-in CEC
feature.
7.2 Rear Panel
①HDMI Input: This slot is where you connect the output port of your HDMI /
DVI source (i.e., DVD, set-top box) using a HDMI / HDMI to DVI adaptor
cable.
②HDMI output 1/2/3/4: These slots connect from the splitter to the input
ports of the HDMI displays. If there's more than one output connected, all
HDMI outputs will display an identical image.
③Power: This is the slot where you insert the 5V DC power supply for
electrical power from an AC outlet.
