Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI SL/DL Splitter. Your complete
satisfaction is very important to us.
Gefen’s line of KVM (Keyboard Video & Mouse), DVI, ADC, USB, switches,
extenders, converters and hubs is designed to make computer use more
comfortable, more productive and less expensive.
KVM switches allow access to multiple computers from a single keyboard, while
the extenders give the user control over a computer up to 330 feet away from the
work area.
The line offers solutions for noise, space and security concerns, data center
control, information distribution, conference room presentation, and school and
corporate training environments.
The DVI SL/DL Splitter allows computers with Dual Link DVI graphic cards to be
connected to one or two Dual Link DVI compatible monitors or projectors.
The DVI SL/DL Splitter also lets you keep your Dual Link DVI monitor next to
your computer, while adding a second Dual Link DVI display such as a projector
or another Dual Link DVI monitor.
Our Commitment

Input Equalization
Adjustment
The external equalization knob can be used to balance out signal noise resulting
from long cables for better picture quality. By turning the equalization knob
counter-clockwise you will eliminate any noise and/or degradation in the signal.
You should be able to find a “sweet spot” somewhere in the middle.
