The Linear 1:3 Component With Audio Distribution Amplier is the perfect solution
for anyone who needs to send one source of high denition component video
and analog or digital audio to multiple displays at the same time. It supports all
component equipment, such as DVD players and satellite set top boxes and all
component displays. In operation, the component video source is connected to the
distribution amplier at the input. Three outputs are available to be used in part or
in full. Once the unit is connected and powered, the source is distributed to three
component high denition displays at the same time.
How It Works
Simply connect the source’s component and audio cables to the 1:3’s input. Then,
connect up to three displays to the 1:3’s outputs. Power on the unit and watch up to
full High Denition 1080p on up to three displays without any signal loss or picture
degradation. When two or more 1:3’s are connected together, you can create a
larger video distribution system.

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 1x3 COMPONENT / AUDIO DA
4
Connect the supplied Component cable from the source into the 1x3 1. Component / Audio DA’s input port.
Connect either a SPDIF digital audio or RCA analog right and left audio cable 2. into the 1x3 Component / Audio DA’s audio input port.
Connect the Component and audio cables from your display(s) (up to 3) into the 3. Component and audio out slots on the 1x3 Component / Audio DA.
Plug the 5V DC power supply into the 1x3 Component / Audio DA.4.
Plug the 5V DC wall mount power supply into the wall outlet.5.
NOTE: Both analog and digital audio outputs are active on all of the outputs.
Also, Composite video can also be fed into the Component video input to split and
distribute Composite video.
How to Connect the 1x3 Component / Audio DA to your devices
Application Diagram
Maximum recommended distance of component cabling between each COMP-DA-
1X3 or display (1080p) is 50 ft. Maximum number of displays that are supported in a
large 1x3 Component / Audio DAsystem is 27.
Multiple COMP-DA-1X3 devices can be daisy chained together to distribute a single
Component signal to 13 units maximum, for a total of 27 displays.
