Connecting Devices:

HDMI Input on the rear panel of the HDMI Splitter.
3. Using HDMI cables, connect the HDMI Splitter Outputs to the HDMI inputs on your
televisions/monitors. NOTE: The recommended maximum HDMI cable length connecting
your source device’s HDMI output to the HDMI Splitter Input is 5m. The recommended
maximum HDMI cable length connecting the HDMI Outputs on the HDMI Splitter to the
HDMI inputs on your televisions/monitors is 15m. Attempting to use longer cables may
give you a flickering, distorted or no image at all. To obtain maximum distance we
recommend larger wire gauge cable. Cable quality will affect distance. For best
performance, we recommend using Sonicewave™ HDMI cable

end into a receptacle outlet.
5. Power on HDMI enabled device as well as your televisions/monitors.

Example Diagrams:
Cascading the splitter:
The HDMI outputs on the rear panel of the splitter are capable of being split up to three levels.
This is can be referred to as cascading or daisy-chaining. With the two-way splitter, you can take
one source device (DVD player, satellite or cable receiver, etc.) and split it so that you can
connect up to eight televisions/monitors at the same time. With the four-way splitter, you can
have your source device going to sixteen televisions/monitors by cascading or daisy-chaining.
Refer to the diagram below for an example of the two-way splitter example. To connect these

1. Make sure that your HDMI enabled device and televisions/monitors are turned off.
2. Using an HDMI cable no longer than 10m, connect your source device’s HDMI output to the
Input of the first splitter
3. From the outputs of the first splitter, use two HDMI cables no longer than 15m to connect to
two different HDMI splitter Inputs.
4. From each of those HDMI splitters use four HDMI cables (two for each splitter) no longer than
15m to connect to four additional splitter Inputs
5. From those four splitters you can now use eight HDMI cables no longer than 15m to connect
to eight televisions/monitors (two televisions/monitors from each splitter).
NOTE: This HDMI Splitter matches the lowest television quality. For example on the two
way switch, there are two television/monitors connected, one has a resolution of 1080i the
other 720P. The lower television set of 720P will be communicated back to the source
device. Therefore the source device will output 720P.
