Installation
1. Turn off computer and monitor.
2. Connect DVI male extension cable between the
PC and the “video in” port of splitter.
3. Connect the DVI male/female extension cables
between the monitors and the “DVI out” ports
of splitter.
4. Connect the power cord and turn on the
splitter.
5. Turn on PC and monitors.
Operation for Cascade
1. The function to display identical images on
more monitors, is an attachment of another
splitter.
2. Connect the DVI male/female extendion cable
between the former splitter of the “DVI out 1”
port and the latter splitter of the “video in” port.
Note:
Even though you are allowed to cascade the splitter
with varied ports, the image might become unstable
if you cascade too many tiers of splitters.

EDID Learning
The Display Data Channel (DDC) is a digital
connection between a computer display and
a graphics adapter that allows the display to
communicate its specifications to the adapter.
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a
data structure provided by a computer display over
the DDC to describe its capabilities to a graphics
card.
The DVS4P does not continue the DDC across the
CAT6 STP links and contains its own EDID at the
video source input. Therefore, the EDID on the
DVS4P is used in place of the actual monitors EDID.
In order for the computer to output at the correct
resolution and refresh rates for a specific monitor,
the DVS4P must be loaded with the monitors EDID.
On power-up the DVS4P reads and stores the EDID
of the DVI monitor connected to the local loopback
port. IF the local loopback port is disconnected
during power-up, the stored EDID will not be
modified.
