Congratulations on your purchase of the ex•tend•it 1x4 HD-SDI Splitter. Your complete
satisfaction is very important to us.
Splits one HD-SDI Source Signal Four Times
1 SDI Input = 4 SDI Outputs for Real-Time Multi-Viewing
The 1:4 HD-SDI Distribution Amplifier is a reliable video splitting device that allows a
single SDI video source to send data to four HD-SDI displays at the same time. Crisp,
highly definition visuals are generated for each distributed output, and multiple formats
(NTSC, PAL).
SDI
SDI (serial digital interface), used primarily in broadcasting, converts and transmits digi-
tal video through SDI connectors. It processes high quality standard or high definition
video.
How it works
You simply connect your source to the 1:4 HD SDI Splitter’s HD SDI input, then connect
your four displays to the Splitter’s HD SDI outputs. Once the source, the displays
and the Splitter are powered and connected, your source’s video appears on all four
displays simultaneously.
