Features
Package Contents
The 3-Port DVI Splitter receives and reconstructs (equalizing & re-clocking) a DVI
signal and distributes it to three identical outputs. It can be cascaded with one
another in order to obtain more DVI outputs (up to 6 tiers). It will also process (read
& store) the EDID information sent over the Data Display Channel (DDC).
 Connects a DVI video source to 3 DVI compatible displays (comes with a DVI
Y-cable)
 Perfectly as a repeater by regenerating the DVI signal
 Stackable, 8 devices stacked can support up to 17 outputs
 Reads and remembers the EDID of displays
 Can be modified EQ with two modes
 Extends greater than 45 ft of input/output DVI cable

4. Connect a device equipped with DVI output (such as a PC) to 3-Port DVI
Splitter here.
5. Rotary switch- Assign an ID (0-7) for the device while cascading. Fo
r
example, you can set rotary switch at 1 for the first 3-Port DVI Splitter and 2
for the second 3-Port DVI Splitter. Please ignore the rotary switch when
only a single 3-Port DVI Splitter exists.
6. Green LED- lights when the 3-Port DVI Splitter is selected.
7. Red LED- lights when power on.
8. Infrared Receiver (optional)
1. Connect a DVI display here.
2. Connect a DVI display or two displays by a DVI Y-cable.
*While cascading, use the short line of the DVI Y-cable to connect to the next splitter input an
d
the long line to connect to a display.

Mode
On Open EQ. Less noise but more power consumption.
1 Off Close EQ.
On Writing default EDID.
*Set the DIPswitch at on and plug in power cord. The green LED will light after the writing process
is completed.
2
Off Record EDID of the connected display via DVI-OUT1
*Plug in DVI cable first from the display and then plug in power cord. The recording process willbe
initiated and the green LED lights. The green LED will turn of after the reading process is
completed.
Warning!! Don’t plug in DVI source while the 3-Port DVI Splitter is writing
default EDID or recording EDID from displays. This will cause damage to
the EDID in the flesh memory.
If you cannot boot your computer from the connected 3-Port DVI Splitter
due to the damaged EDID in the 3-Port DVI Splitter, please proceed the
“Writing default EDID” and then “Recording EDID of the connected
display”. This will enforce the 3-Port DVI Splitter to write the EDID from
display.

 We suggest you connect the monitor with the lowest resolution to the DVI-OUT 1.
(E.g. Suppose monitor A might support a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200,
monitor B supports a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 and monitor C supports a
maximum resolution of 1024 x 768, please connect monitor C to DVI-OUT 1).
 Unless you would like to use the default universal EDID, please set DIP switch 2 at off
position, which allows the 3-Port DVI Splitter to read the first connected monitor’s
EDID.
1. Single Device
2. Mutiple devices- cascading
Hardware Installation
1. Connect a monitor, a projector or other displays with DVI input by a
male-to-male DVI cable to the first 3-Port DVI Splitter DVI-OUT 1.
2. Plug DVI Y-cable into 3-Port DVI Splitter DVI-OUT 2 and then plug in powe
r
adapter.
3. Connect the second display to the DVI female connectors of the long line of the
Y-cable and plug in the short line of the Y-cable to the DVI-IN of the second
3-Port DVI Splitter.
4. Connect the third display to the DVI-OUT 1 of the second 3-Port DVI Splitter.
5. Follow from step 2 to step 4 for cascading the remaining devices.
6. Connect a PC or other devices with DVI outputs to the first 3-Port DVI Splitte
r
DVI-IN.
1. Connect a monitor, a projector or other displays with DVI inputs by a
male-to-male DVI cable to 3-Port DVI Splitter DVI-OUT 1.
2. Plug DVI Y-cable into 3-Port DVI Splitter DVI-OUT 2
3. Connect the second and third displays to the DVI female connectors of the
Y-cable.
4. Plug power adapter cable into 5V DC jack.
