INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the 1:8 HDTV Distribution Amplifi er. The 1:8 HDTV
distribution amplifi er is an innovative solution for anyone with more complex computer
system requirements, like studios and presentation venues where multi-viewing is essential. The 1:8 HDTV distribution amplifi er accommodates various system scenarios.
Most commonly a video source (either DVI-equipped computer, DVD player or satellite set
top box) is connected to the distribution amplifi er on one side. On the output side, eight
video outputs are available to be used in part or in full. Once the unit is connected and
powered, the source can be routed to multiple displays. All DVI displays are driven by the
DVI source with the source or computer capable of driving eight displays at one time. For
home theater applications, the unit is HDCP (high defi nition content protection) compliant,
making it effective for use with all HDTV displays.
How it works:
Gefen’s ex•tend•it 1:8 HDTV distribution amplifi er sends the same DVI graphics source
to eight DVI based digital screens (fl at panels or projectors). It is a fl exible solution that
accommodates multiple DVI displays.
The ex•tend•it 1:8 HDTV distribution amplifi er is connected with a DVI (male to male) cable
from the DVI graphic source to the distribution amplifi er input. There are eight DVI outputs
in each module. DVI output one is the primary connection and is used for the main display .
DVI output 2 thru 8 follow the main display.
