2. Panel Description
2.1 Front Panel
Illuminates red when properly powered on
Indicates the HDCP encryption status of the input signal
Ø Iluminates green when the input signal is HDCP encrypted
Ø Blinks green when the input signal is not HDCP encrypted
Ø Remains off when there is no input signal
Illuminates green when there is an HDMI output; corresponds
to HDMI OUTPUT 1 - 4 separately
USB port, used for firmware update
Note: Output HDCP compliancy status depends on the input signal. When the input
signal is HDCP compliant, then output signal will be HDCP compliant and vice versa.

HDMI input port. Connects with an HDMI or DVI source device
such as a DVD player or set top box.
HDMI output ports. Connects to HDMI displays, automatically
capturing the input resolution.
Power socket. Connects to a DC 5V power adapter.
Note:
a) Pictures shown in this manual are for reference only.
b) The HDMI signal contains both a video signal and embedded audio signal (PCM,
Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS-HD), whereas a DVI signal contains solely a video signal.
c) The splitter is capable of switching input signal formats according to the displays.
For example, when the input signal is HDMI and the display can only support DVI
signal, the unit will switch the signal into DVI format.
d) EDID management automatically manages the output signal (e.g. output resolution)
to fit all displays.
