FEATURES
EDID LEARNING
• Supports high-resolution dislplay up to UXGA
(25-165MHz)
• Can be cascaded
• Compliant with the specication of DVI 1.0
• Resolution up to 1920 x 1200
• No degradation of video quality
• External pwer supply
• Automatic EDID learning for the support of any DVI
monitor.
The Display Data Channel (DDC) is a digital connection
between a computer display and a graphics adapter that
allows the display to communicate its specications to the
adapter.
The Extended Display Identication Data (EDID) is a data
structure provided by a computer display over the DDC to
describe its capabilities to a graphics card.
On power-up the DVS-8P reads and stores the EDID of the
DVI monitor connected output 1.
There are 3 modes for EDID:
Mode 1 - Selects the Minimum Resolution of the Output
Mode 2 - Selects the EDID of the Latest monitor connected
Mode 3 - Selects the EDID of the Monitor connected to
Output 8
Pressing the button next to the “Power” LED can be used
to see the current EDID mode, the LED of #8 will ash
according the mode.
If the current mode is Mode 1, LED 8 will ash one time
If the current mode is Mode 2, LED 8 will ash two times
If the current mode is Mode 3, LED 8 will ash three times
Pressing the button a second time will change to the next
mode.

OPERATION FOR CASCADE
If you need to add more monitors, you need to attach an
additional splitter box.
Connect a DVI male/male extension cable between a Video
OUT port or the primary splitter (the splitter connected to
the computer) and the Video IN port on the cascade splitter.
NOTE: Even though you can cascade the splitter, the
image might become unstable if you cascade too many
tiersof splitter.
