W Box Technologies 0E-HDMISPL8 User manual

4K UHD HDMI
SPLITTER
0E-HDMISPL8

Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing W Box
Technologies 0E-HDMISPL8.
0E-HDMISPL8 is a 1:8 splitter for HDMI with Ultra HD 4K
support. It reliably distributes one HDMI source signal to eight
HDMI outputs. It supports HDMI 1.4a specification features
including data rates up to 10.2 Gbps, 3D, Lip Sync, and HD
lossless Audio/Video formats. It features HDCP management,
which continuously authenticates HDCP encryption between all
devices, ensuring the simultaneous distribution of source
content to all outputs.
The splitter ensures signal integrity by equalizing and
regenerating the incoming signal. It is ideal for applications,
such as offices, schools, conferences rooms, shopping malls,
hotels or museums, which require the distribution of an HDMI
source signal to multiple outputs.
It offers integrator-friendly features, including input cable
equalization, signal regeneration, pre-emphasis and
de-emphasis compensation. Automatic input cable equalization
reduces the need for additional signal conditioning equipment
by compensating for signal loss when using long input cable
assemblies. HDMI signals are regenerated to eliminate noise
and reduce jitter for a strong, stable digital signal.
Please follow the instructions in this manual to assure proper
installation and to achieve the full performance and satisfaction
you would expect from W Box Technologies.

Reading EDID from Specific Outputs
To read EDID from output 1:
1. Ensure that the output display is powered on and
connected to splitter's output 1.
2. Locate the EDID DIP switch (outlined in the figure above)
3. Move the switch to the position 0. Repower the splitter for
the changes to take effect.
Note:
If no output device has been connected to the unit, it uses
the factory default resolution (1080p, stereo)
You can read EDID from output 2, 3 and 4, corresponding
to the F, E and D position, using the same method above.
Using the Fixed EDID
To directly use the fixed EDID:
1. Locate the EDID DIP switch (outlined in the figure above).
2. Ensure that the display device supports the EDID resolution,
otherwise no picture shows. Toggle the switch to a position
from 1~C (see the table above for detailed EDID
information).
3. Repower the splitter for the changes to take effect no matter
whether an output device is connected.
