1. Introduction

The HDMI v1.3 Splitter is an advanced solution for HDMI signal distribution. Thisdevice supports deep color (10 & 12-bit) video with new lossless compressed(Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio) digital audio,with a high bandwidth up to 225MHz (6,75Gbps). Besides just splitting anddistributing, this device also ampliﬁes and equalizes your signal to provide
high performance I/O of audio and video. With great features like EDID, CEC
and system reset this device will fully support your HDMI splitting needs.

HDMI v1.3, HDCP1.1 and DVI1.0 compliant .
Supports Deep Color video up to 12bit, 1080p(24/60Hz).
One HDMI source can simultaneously connect with four HDMI displays.
HDCP keysets allow each output to work independently when connecting
to an HDMI display.
Splits an HDMI source on up to four outputs without any signal loss.
Supports DVI source and display by using an HDMI to/from DVI adaptor
cable.
Supports LPCM 7.1CH, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master
Audio transmission (32-192kHz Fs sample rate).
Supports a wide range of PC and HDTV resolutions from VGA to WUXGAand 480i to1080p.
HDMI cable distance testing showed that with 1080p/8bit resolution, theinput distance is 15 meters. If 1080p/12bit, the input distance is10 meters.
HDMI cable distance testing showed that with 1080p/8bit resolution, theoutput distance can be up to 10 meters. If 1080p/12bit, the output
distance can be up to 10 meters.
EDID function. This unit is designed to detect the ﬁrst HDMI/DVI output
display’s EDID and record it in the unit. If the ﬁrst detected output is empty
it will pass on to the next output until the ﬁrst HDMI/DVI display has been
detected. When users re-plug the power, the system will automatically
recover the EDID.
Supports xvYCC and CEC bypass.
Switch Reset button on to restore the system every 8-10mins.
Buttons for EDID settings allow for fast recognition between the source anddisplay.

② EDID selection:
STD/TV – By switching to STD you canselect both deep color and audio
channel functions, if switching to TV theunit ﬁrst reads the TV’s EDID and will thensend an image from the connectedsource.
Note: When in STD mode it is suggested
to switch deep color to 8-bit in order tooperate displays at long distances.
2CH/Multi CH – Supports 2 channel orMulti audio channels. This option is onlyavailable when EDID is in STD mode.
Note: When Multi CH is selected the TV/
display must also support this function,otherwise the TV/display will have noaudio output, unless the HDMI output isconnected to AVR and then to the TV/
display.
8/12 bit – Supports 8 or 12 bit deep color.
This is only available when EDID is in STD
mode.
Note: When HDMI output has both 8-bit
and 12-bit displays, in order to ensure
all outputs will display properly it issuggested to switch to 8bit display.
On the other hand, when all outputs arewithin the same bit range of 8 or 12 bits
then it is advised to switch all outputs
to the same bit ratio. The splitter will not
function properly if the display bit ratios
are different.
③ Sys. Reset: System reset function.
It is suggested to always have thisfunction switched off except when
doing a system reset. By switching thison the system will reset each TV to HDMI
1 within 8~10 minutes (TV must support
CEC), switching this OFF means CEC
bypass.
Note: The system reset function onlyworks when the display has a built in

Note: Before selecting Multi CH pleasebe sure the connected TV/display
supports it, otherwise the TV/display
will have no audio output unless HDMI
output connects to an AVR and then tothe TV/display.
8/12 bit – Support 8 or 12 bit’s deep color
function. This selection is only available
when EDID is in STD mode.
Note: When HDMI output has both 8 bit
and 12 bit displays, in order to ensure
all output will display properly, pleaseswitch the ﬁrst HDMI output to 8bits. On
the other hand when all outputs are ofthe same strength, then switch to either
12 bit or 8 bit accordingly. The splitter will
not function properly if the displays areof different bit strength, it cannot output
two different bit strengths at the sametime.
③. Sys. Reset: System reset function.
It is always suggested to have thisfunction switched off except when
doing a system reset. By switching thisfunction on the system will reset HDMI
output to HDMI 1 in 8~10 minutes,
switching this off means CEC bypass.
Note: The system reset function only
works when the displayer has a built inCEC function.
