1. Introduction

For those who want to display large content the 1x3 DisplayPort Extender
Splitter is for you. Able to extend an image onto 2 or 3 displays, this device
is perfect for multi-tasking, but can also split an image so the same image is
repeated on up to three connected displays. This 1 by 3 DisplayPort Extender

Splitter allows users to enjoy images or video in HD resolution up to 1920 x 1200

on multiple monitors from a single digital output port. The 1 by 3 DisplayPort
Extender Splitter is a useful device for extending displays and splitting images.

①

input port in order to send a signal.

It is suggested to use the same type/model of display in order

Note:

to get the optimal image quality. When the input source’s timing is

matched with the output display’s timing, the device will rst

extend the image according to the numbers of the output
connected. If the input sources timing does not match with output
display’s timing the device will then split the signal to match the
number of the connected display to show an identical image.

(Detail information please refer to section 8. Timing table for
monitors).
