INTRODUCTION

The Linear 2:8 Distribution Amplier For HDMI is the perfect solution for anyone who
needs to send one or two sources of digital high denition video to multiple displays
at the same time. It supports HDMI equipment, such as DVD players, satellite set
top boxes, and HDMI displays. In operation, the digital source is connected to the
distribution amplier’s input while eight HDMI outputs are available to be used

in part or in full. Once the unit is connected and powered, your source can be
distributed up to eight digital displays at the same time.

How It Works

Simply connect your HDMI video source to the 2:8 Distribution Amplier’s input
using the supplied HDMI cable. Then connect up to eight HDMI displays to the unit’s
eight HDMI outputs. Once connected and powered, your source will be seen on all
eight displays at the same time. When two or more 2:8’s are connected together,

you can create a larger distribution system.

OPERATING THE 2:8 DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER FOR HDMI

Display information (EDID) is sent from the display connected to HDMI •
Output Port 1 to both sources connected to the 2:8 Distribution Amplier
for HDMI. If there is no display connected to HDMI Output Port 1, the
remaining HDMI Output Ports will be scanned in succession and use the
rst EDID that it detects. (See note on page 4 for additional information)

The 2:8 Distribution Amplier for HDMI can only mirror one input video signal at •
a time to all eight display outputs. The user can choose which of the two HDMI
