Chapter 2: Overview

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The 2- and 4-Channel DVI Splitter/Extenders enable routing of a single DVI

equipped device (such as a PC) to multiple DVI displays (such as plasma or LCD

screens). The splitters support single-link, DVI-I (integrated Analog and/or Digital)

video signals at resolutions of up to 1920 x 1200. They feature a front-panel LED

indicator for power on state, plus they can be used to extend the DVI output to

32 feet (10 meters). A DVI-I input cable is included with the unit.

2.2 Features

• Clear and sharp image at resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (including 1080i).

• Supports both digital and analog DVI signals (DVI-I), enabling you to connect a

DVI-I equipped PC to monitors that have DVI-I or legacy monitors with VGA

inputs only (in this case, you will need a HD15 to DVI cable or adapter).

• Can be cascaded (2-levels deep) for more outputs.

• Installs in minutes.
