1. Introduction
The HDMI v1.3 Splitter is an advanced solution for HDMI signal distribution. This
device supports deep color (10 & 12-bit) video with new lossless compressed
(Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio) digital audio,
with a high bandwidth up to 225MHz (6,75Gbps). Besides just splitting and
distributing, this device also amplifies and equalizes your signal to provide
high performance I/O of audio and video. With great features like EDID, CEC
and system reset this device will fully support your HDMI splitting needs.

5. Features
• HDMI v1.3, HDCP1.1 and DVI1.0 compliant .
• Supports Deep Color video up to 12bit, 1080p(24/60Hz).
• One HDMI source can simultaneously connect with four HDMI displays.
• HDCP keysets allow each output to work independently when connecting
to an HDMI display.
• Splits an HDMI source on up to four outputs without any signal loss.
• Supports DVI source and display by using 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 WUXGA
and 480i to1080p.
• HDMI cable distance testing showed that with 1080p/8bit resolution, the
input distance is 15 meters. If 1080p/12bit, the input distance is10 meters.
• HDMI cable distance testing showed that with 1080p/8bit resolution, the
output distance can be up to 10 meters. If 1080p/12bit, the output
distance can be up to 10 meters.
• EDID function. This unit is designed to detect the first HDMI/DVI output
display’s EDID and record it in the unit. If the first detected output is empty
it will pass on to the next output until the first HDMI/DVI display has been
detected. When users re-plug the power, the system will automatically
recover the EDID.
• Supports xvYCC and CEC bypass.
• Switch Reset button on to restore the system every 8-10mins.
• Buttons for EDID settings allow for fast recognition between the source and
display.

7. Operation Controls and Functions
7.1 Front Panel ① HDMI OUTPUT 1~4:
Connect your LCD TV or HD monitor with
HDMI cables.
② EDID selection:
STD/TV – By switching to STD you can
select both deep color and audio
channel functions, if switching to TV the
unit first reads the TV’s EDID and will then
send an image from the connected
source.
Note: When in STD mode it is suggested
to switch deep color to 8-bit in order to
operate displays at long distances.
2CH/MultiCH – Supports 2 channel or
Multi audio channels. This option is only
available when EDID is in STD mode.
Note: When Multi CH is selected the TV/
display must also support this function,
otherwise the TV/display will have no
audio output, unless the HDMI output is
connected to AVR and then to the TV/
display.
8/12 bit – Supports 8 or 12 bit deep color.
This is only available when EDID is in STD
mode.
Note: When HDMI output has both 8-bit
and 12-bit displays, in order to ensure
all outputs will display properly it is
suggested to switch to 8bit display.
On the other hand, when all outputs are
within the same bit range of 8 or 12 bits
then it is advised to switch all outputs
to the same bit ratio. The splitter will not
function properly if the display bit ratios
are different.
③ Sys. Reset: System reset function.
It is suggested to always have this
function switched off except when
doing a system reset. By switching this
on the system will reset each TV to HDMI
1 within 8~10 minutes (TV must support
CEC), switching this OFF means CEC
bypass.
Note: The system reset function only
works when the display has a built in
CEC function.
④ Power & LED: Power switch on/off, the
red LED will switch on when power is on.
⑤ HDMI INPUT: Connect your source
device with HDMI cables.
