Product Features
• Transmits a DVI-D Single Link and 3.5 mm Audio signal to up to four
monitors and speakers.
• For DVI 1x4 splitter, expands the number of connected device to up to 64
(DVI 1x4) splitters by cascading.
• Includes a built-in signal booster to expand the distance between the splitter
and connected monitors past the recommended 16 ft. (5 m.) distance
limitation.
• Supports computer resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz.
• HDCP compatible.
• No software or drivers required.
Optional Accessories
• DVI Dual Link Extender
• 3.5 mm Stereo Audio Cables
• DVI-D Dual Link with 3.5 mm Audio Cable

* DVI extender will only extend the DVI video signal, and not the 3.5 mm audio.
* The DVI 1X2 and DVI 1X4 splitters only support DVI-D single link signals. DVI dual link cables
and extenders can be used, but they will only transmit a DVI-D signal link signal when used with
1X2 and 1X4 splitters.

2. Standard Installation
In a standard installation only one splitter is used to connect to two (DVI 1X2)
or up to four (DVI 1X4) sets of monitors and speakers.
The following rules apply to a standard installation:
•The distance between the source and the splitter must not exceed 16 ft.
•For source video resolutions anywhere from 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz to
1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz, the distance between the splitter and the connected
monitor and speakers must not exceed 49 ft. (15 m.). The video distance
can be extended by using a DVI extender. The DVI extender can be located
up to 65 ft. (20 m.) from the splitter, and 16 ft. (5 m.) from the
connected monitor.
•For source video resolutions lower than 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz.The distance
between the splitter and the connected monitor and speakers must not
exceed 65 ft.(20 m.).The video distance can be extended by using a DVI
extender. The DVI extender can be located up to 114 ft.(35 m.) from the
splitter, and 16 ft. (5 m.) from the connected monitor.
•The DVI 1X2 and DVI 1X4 are designed for monitor refresh rates of 60Hz.

3. Cascade Installation
1. Make sure the DVI and Audio source is powered OFF.
2. Connect the DVI and Audio source to the input ports on the splitter
using a DVI with 3.5 mm Audio Cable or a DVI Single Link Cable and
3.5 mm Audio cable.
3. Connect a monitor and speakers to a set of available output ports
on the splitter using a DVI with 3.5 mm Audio Cable or, a DVI Single
Link Cable and 3.5 mm Audio cable.
4. Repeat step 3 for each additional set of monitor and speakers that are being
connected to the splitter.
5. Connect the included external power supply to the splitter and plug
it into a Surge Suppressor, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS). The red Power LED will illuminate to indicate the unit
is receiving power.
6. Turn on the power to all connected monitors and speakers, and then
turn on the power to the DVI and Audio source. The green Port LEDs
will illuminate to indicate that the corresponding port is connected
to a monitor and speakers,and is receiving a signal from the source.
The number of connected monitors and speakers can be expanded by cascading
up to three levels of splitters together. By cascading a DVI 1X4 from each
port in a three level installation, you can connect up to 64 sets of monitors and
speakers. The following rules apply to a cascade installation:
•The distance between the source and the splitter must not exceed 16 ft.
•For source video resolutions anywhere from 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz to
1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz, the distance between the first level splitter and any
last level splitter must not exceed 65 ft. The video distance can be extended
by using a DVI Extender in between each level of splitters.
Each Extender can be located up to 32 ft. (10 m.) from a splitter, and 16
ft. (5 m.) from the next level splitter or connected monitor.

3. Cascade Installation continued
•For source video resolutions lower than 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz, the distance
between the first level splitter and any last level splitter must not exceed 98 ft. (30 m.).
The video distance can be extended by using a DVI Extender in between each
level of splitters. Each Extender can be located up to 98 ft. (30 m.)
from a splitter, and 16 ft. (5 m.) from the next level splitter or connected monitor.
•The DVI 1X2 and DVI 1X4 are designed for monitor refresh rates of 60Hz.

3. Connect a set of available output ports on the first level splitter to the input
ports on a second level splitter using a DVI with 3.5 mm Audio Cable or a
DVI Single Link Cable and 3.5 mm Audio cable.

4. Repeat step 3 for any additional splitters you wish to connect. Once
you have connected a splitter to each set of ports on the first level splitter,
you can connect a third level of splitters to each set of ports on the second
level. No more than 3 levels of splitters can be connected in a cascade
installation.
5. Connect a monitor and speakers to a set of available output ports using a
DVI with 3.5 mm Audio Cable or, a DVI Single Link Cable and 3.5 mm Audio
cable.

4. Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing an issue with your splitter, trying the troubleshooting
tips below may help to resolve the problem:
•If the video image is not being received or displayed correctly, press the
RESET button. This will reset the unit and resend the signal to the
connected monitors.
•
power supply is receiving power by plugging something else into the same
Confirm that the Power LED is illuminated. If not, check if the external
power source. If it is receiving power, make sure the power supply is
securely connected to the splitter. If the LED is still not illuminated, use a
volt meter to ensure the power source is providing enough power for the
external power supply.
•Make sure that the cables you are using are functioning properly
by connecting them directly between the source and display/speakers.
Test all cables in the installation to make sure they are functioning properly.
•If the cables you are using are functioning properly, test each port on the
splitter to make sure it is working. Using the cables you just tested, connect
the source to the splitter, and then a set of output ports to a monitor and
speakers. Test each port to make sure it is functioning properly.
