INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the ex•tend•it HD Digital Audio Splitter. Your com­plete satisfaction is very important to us.

Gefen’s line of HDTV switches, extenders, and splitters are designed to make your A/V
equipment use more comfortable, more productive and less expensive.

Gefen’s ex•tend•it HD Digital Audio Splitter is a distribution hub that sends the same
video output to two or more HDTV digital screens. It is a fl exible solution that accom-
modates multiple displays. When two or more HD splitters are connected together, they
can be used to create a larger distribution.

The HD Digital Audio Splitter is connected using a HDMI cable from the HDMI source to
the HDMI splitter input. There are two DVI outputs. Output 1 is the primary connection
and is used for the main display. Output 2 follows the main display.

The HD Digital Audio Splitter is HDCP compliant.

The ex•tend•it line offers solutions for noise, space and security concerns, data center
control, information distribution, conference room presentation, school and corporate
training environments.

Our Commitment

Gefen will always offer the fi nest quality product at the best possible price. Included in
that price is a lifetime of support from a team of outstanding engineers.
