POWER ON
When you plug in the AC adapter between the SPLITMUX and your power supply, with the power switch OFF, the LED on the
SPLITMUX will illuminate red after approximately 20 seconds. To use the SPLITMUX, press the power switch to ON. After 20
more seconds the LED will change from red (standby) to green (ON). The SPLITMUX is now powered up and ready to use.
CONTROL METHODS
The SPLITMUX can be controlled using any of six methods;
Standard Mode using the front panel buttons
OSD Mode using the front panel buttons,
Using the Command Line Interface either through RS232 or remote connection
Using a Text Menu either through RS232 or remote connection
Using a hand-held IR Remote Control
Remotely through the Web Interface using an Ethernet connection.
Front Panel Buttons
The buttons on the front panel have two separate sets of functions, depending upon what mode the SPLITMUX is in; Standard
Mode or OSD Mode.
Standard Mode
In Standard Mode, the left 4 buttons control which video source is viewed as the active image on the monitor, whether the
SPLITMUX is in Full or PiP mode. The right 4 buttons determine which mode format the monitor will display the video signals in.
¾ When FULL is pressed, the input selected using b uttons 1 throu gh 4 (or “active” image) will be the only image on
the display.
¾ When QUAD is pressed, images from all 4 inputs will be displayed equally on the monitor.
¾ When PIP is pressed, the active image will occupy the entire screen and t he images from the remaining inputs will
be displayed in lower resolution on the right side of the screen.
¾ When CUSTOM is pressed, the images will be displayed in whatever way you have the SPLITMUX configured to
present them. Each input can be sized and positioned on the screen as desired.
In FULL screen mode, only the active video source will be displayed. The image will be viewed at full size
and maximum resolution.
10
SPLITMUX Quad Screen Video Splitter
In PIP mode (right) , either 2, 3 or all 4 video sources can be
displayed, with the active source being displayed in its
entirety on the full screen and the remaining selected
images at a reduced resolution for simultaneous viewing.
The position of the reduced images can be configured for
preferred viewing.
In CUSTOM mode (below) the 4 video sources can be
placed where ever you want, at what ever size you want.
The amount of each source that is viewed is determined by
your configuration.
In QUAD screen mode, all four video sources share the screen
equally. Each video source is displayed completely.
11
SPLITMUX Quad Screen Video Splitter
OSD Mode

By default, the SPLITMUX is configured to dynamically assign network settings received from a DHCP server on the network it is
connected to. (This can be changed to a static IP address to manually enter these settings in the Network Settings on page 18.)
The SPLITMUX will search for a DHCP server to automatically assign its IP address each time the unit is powered up. If the
SPLITMUX does not find a DHCP server, the address entered into the static IP address field (page 18-default address shown
below) will be used. If a DHCP server on the network has assigned the IP address, use the Device Discovery Tool to identify the
IP address to enter when logging in to the SPLITMUX, or use the OSD menu to view the System Info page.
Note: The computer using the Device Discovery Tool and the NTI Device must be connected to the same subnet in order
for the Device Discovery Tool to work. If no devices are found, the message “No Devices Found” will be displayed.
