to up to two HDTV digital displays. You simply connect your HDMI video source
to the 1:2 HDMI 1.3 Splitters HDMI input jack, then connect your HDMI-compat-
ible displays to each of the HDMI outputs. Power-cycle all equipment and you
should see beautiful, sharp HDMI video on all of your HDMI displays.

OPERATION NOTES
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE 1:2 SPLITTER FOR HDMI 1.3
•
By default, display information from the display connected to HDMI output
port 1 is sent back to the source. Therefore, the other display connected
to the 1:2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 must be capable of accepting the timings
and resolutions of the display that is connected to HDMI output port 1.
It is recommended that the display with the lowest native resolution be
connected to HDMI output port 1. This is to ensure that a compatible video
signal will be able to be displayed on all connected monitors. There is a
generic EDID programmed into the 1:2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 that can be
used instead. Please see page 6 for more details.

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 1:2 SPLITTER FOR HDMI
How to Connect the 1:2 Splitter For HDMI 1.3
1. Connect the supplied cable from the HDMI source into the 1:2 Splitter for
HDMI 1.3 input.
2. Connect the cables from your displays (monitor or projector) into
the HDMI outs of the 1:2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3. Up to 2 displays are
supported.
3. Plug the 5V DC power supply into the 1:2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3.
NOTE: By Default, the display information from the display connected to HDMI output
port 1 is sent back to the source. Therefore, the other display that is connected to the
1:2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 must be capable of accepting the timings and resolutions of the
display that is connected to HDMI output port 1. It is recommended that the display with
the lowest native resolution be connected to HDMI output port 1. This is to ensure that a
compatible video signal will be able to be displayed on all connected monitors. There is
a generic EDID programmed into the 1:2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 that can be used instead.
Please see below for the activation process.
EDID MODE
The HDMI 1:2 has an EDID button which will determine if the EDID is used
from the display attached to output 1 (Ext. mode) or if the onboard EDID
(Int. mode) will be used.
The current EDID mode can be determined by which EDID mode LED is
active on the front panel. The Ext LED will indicate that the external EDID
(from output port 1) is being used, and the Int LED will indicate that the
internal pre-programmed EDID is being used.
If you want to use the onboard EDID, press the EDID button on the rear
panel and then press the reset button to activate the new EDID mode. To
revert back to using the external EDID, press the EDID button again and
then reset the unit using the reset button to activate the new EDID mode.
