INTRODUCTION
The SP-1014 1x4 DVI Splitter over Single Cat.X with HDCP Support provides the most flexible
solution by which the high definition video and high quality audio can be transmitted to different locations
over a long distance. The devices are cascadable, allowing you to extend DVI compliant displays almost
anywhere. The input DVI source can be duplicated and distributed to up to 4 DVI-enabled displays
through cost effective Cat-5/5e/6 cables and Cat.X receiver (CV-711) and/or mini-receivers (CV-711S).
FEATURES
●HDMI founder Silicon Image chipsets embedded for superior compatibility and reliability
●DVI 1.0 compliant
●Supports HDCP
●Supports default DVI EDID and has the ability to learn the EDID of displays
●Extends up to 30m (100ft) at UXGA 1600x1200@60Hz
●Extends up to 60m (200ft) at 1024x768@60Hz
●Allows cascading
●Perfectly integrated with other DVI over CAT5 series products
●Wall mountable
PACKAGE CONTENTS
●1x SP-1014
●1x DC 5V 4A in-line with C7 power cord
●1x User Manual
The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables. Higher resolutions and
longer transmission distances require low skew cables (<25ns/100m) for best performance.
Unshielded CAT6 with metal RJ45 connectors is recommended.

NOTICE
1. If the DVI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve and
provide DVI display EDID information.
2. All DVI over Cat.X transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP
cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the type of DVI sources,
and the type of DVI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 330m
[1,000ft] bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of
fixed length patch cords). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables. A solid
UTP Cat-5e cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long
extension applications, solid UTP/STP cables are the only viable choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one can
use shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the CAT5/6 cables has the major effect on how long the transmission limit can
achieve and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject to one's
choice of Cat-5/5e/6 cables. For desired resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a Cat-6 cable is
recommended.
