The ex•tend•it 1x4 HDMI Splitter allows one HDTV HDMI device to be distributed
easily in to four HDTV HDMI compatible monitors or projectors. Simply connect your
HDTV displays to the DA’s display outputs. The 1x4 HDMI Splitter can also be placed at
the end of a long HDMI cable to regenerate the HDMI signal.
How It Works
Gefen’s 1x4 HDMI splitter is a distribution hub that sends the same video output to
four or more HDTV digital displays. It is a fl exible solution that accommodates multiple
displays. When two or more HDMI™ splitters are connected together, they can be used
to create a larger distribution.
The HDMI splitter is connected using a HDMI™ cable from the HDMI™ source to the
HDMI™ splitter input. There are four HDMI™ outputs. HDMI™ output 1 is the primary
connection and is used for the main display. Outputs two, three and four follow the main
display.
