The Gefen 1:10 Splitter For HDMI 1.3

more Splitters are connected together, they can be used to create a larger video
signal distribution.

How It Works
The HDMI 1:10 Splitter is connected using an HDMI cable from the HDMI video

connected to an HDMI display. Power is connected and all connected displays
show an exact replica of the video signal that is input to the Splitter.

OPERATION NOTES
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE 1:10 SPLITTER FOR HDMI 1.3
• By default, display information from the display connected to HDMI output port
1 is sent back to the source. Therefore, the other displays connected to the 1:10
Splitter For HDMI 1.3 must be capable of accepting the timings, resolutions
and audio formats of the display that is connected to HDMI output port 1. It is
recommended that the display with the lowest native resolution be connected
to HDMI output port 1. This is to ensure that a compatible video signal will
be able to be displayed on all connected monitors. There is a generic EDID
programmed into the 1:10 Splitter For HDMI 1.3 that can be used instead. See
page 7 for more details.

EDID MANAGEMENT
EDID Mode Selection
1. EXTERNAL MODE:
To use this mode, move the EDID switch to the Ext position. See page 8 for
details on using the External EDID.
2. INTERNAL MODE:
To use this mode, move the EDID switch to the Int position. This mode
will use a preset EDID, from the factory, that is stored in the Gefen 1:10
Splitter For HDMI 1.3. This pre-programmed standard EDID data structure is
compatible with most A/V display devices. All resolutions and audio formats
specified in this EDID will be passed to the source device. See the tables
below for a complete listing of the resolutions and audio formats listed in this
EDID.
NOTE: All other HDMI devices/displays connected to the output ports must
be compatible with at least one resolution/audio format specified in this
EDID. It is recommended to set, on the source device, a common resolution
and audio format shared by all attached devices/displays. This is to ensure a
compatible signal is output to all connected devices/displays.
