The DVI DL Splitter is connected with a Dual Link DVI cable from the Dual Link DVI source to the DVI DL Splitter input. There are two Dual Link DVI outputs. DVI output 1 is the primary connection and is used for the main display. DVI output 2 follows the main display.

Note:  

A connected display that cannot show the same video resolution(s) as the Primary Display connected to Output #1 may fail to show a picture. Secondary displays follow the Primary by sharing the resolution and capability information (EDID) obtained from the Primary Display.

Gefen's DVI Splitter is a stackable distribution hub that sends the same DVI graphics source to two or more DVI digital displays (flat panels or projectors). It is a flexible solution that accommodates multiple digital video displays, and when multiple DVI Splitters are connected together, they can be used to create a 1:4 or a 1:6 distribution (one DVI input / multiple DVI display outputs). The configuration of stacking multiple units must be done by Gefen professionals.

The DVI Splitter is connected with a DVI (male to male) cable from the DVI graphic source to the DVI Splitter input. There are two DVI outputs in each module. DVI output one is the primary connection and is used for the main display. DVI output two follows the main display. The DVI Splitter is using a unique DVI Bus? technology to connect multiple splitters without sacrificing a DVI output connection.

Note:  
Any connected display that cannot show the same video resolution(s) as the Primary Display connected to Output #1 may fail to show a picture. Secondary displays follow the Primary by sharing the resolution and capability information (EDID) obtained from the Primary Display.

The DVI Splitter will only output a DVI-D (DVI digital) signal. If you're using a DVI-I cable, it will ONLY pass the digital signal. Using a DVI-I to VGA adapter off of any output will not pass an analog signal. A DVI-D to VGA Conversion Box is required to convert to an analog signal.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a common connector used throughout the industry to connect digital video displays to video sources such as computers.

Gefen's 1:4 DVI Distribution is a distribution hub that sends the same DVI graphics source to up to four DVI digital displays (flat panels or projectors). It is a reliable solution that accommodates four digital video displays at the same time, creating a multi-viewing environment that maintains the highest resolution video at all times.

The 1:4 DVI Distribution Amplifier is connected with a DVI (male to male) cable from the DVI graphic source to the 1:4 DVI Distribution Amplifier input. There are four DVI outputs. DVI output one is the primary connection and is used for the main display. DVI outputs two through four follow the main display.

Note:  The 1:4 DVI Distribution Amplifier will only output a DVI-D (DVI digital) signal.

Two DVI Inputs, Eight DVI Outputs = Ideal for Presentation Venues

The 2:8 DVI Distribution Amplifier is an innovative solution for anyone with more complex video viewing requirements such as studios and presentation venues. It accommodates various system scenarios. Up to two video sources (either DVI-equipped computer, DVD player or satellite set top box) are connected to the distribution amplifier on one side. On the other side, eight video outputs are available to be used in part or in full. All displays are driven by one of two sources; each source drives eight displays at one time. Sources are switched via the RMT-2 remote control. The 2:8 DVI Distribution Amplifier is also equipped with an auto sensing feature that automatically switches to whatever source is active, should one of the sources drop out.

Fully HDCP Compliant

For home theater applications, the unit is HDCP (high bandwidth digital content protection) compliant, making it compatible with all HDTV content and displays. HDCP is a standard data encryption scheme encoded into the DVI signal to prevent videos from being copied. HDCP was adopted in 2004 by the entertainment industry. If an HDCP-encoded video source is connected to a HDTV display without the proper HDCP decoding mechanism, the picture is relegated to "snow" or a very low (480P) resolution. To avoid this situation the video source, the display and any device in between must be equipped with HDCP "software key" decoding devices.

You just connect one or two DVI graphics sources to the 2:8 DVI DA's two inputs using the supplied DVI cables. Then you connect up to eight DVI displays to the eight DVI outputs on each unit. Power-cycle all connected equipment and you should see crystal-clear duplication of your source video on all output displays.

Note:  
All connected displays that cannot show the same video resolution(s) as the Primary Display connected to Output #1 may fail to show a picture. Secondary displays follow the Primary display by sharing the resolution and capability information (EDID) obtained from the Primary Display

8 HDMI Sources + 4 Displays = A Versatile and Cost-Effective HDTV Matrix System

The rack-mountable 8x4 Matrix for HDMI sends high definition video and multichannel digital audio from any of 8 HDMI sources to any 4 Displays. The HDMI inputs consist of 4 High Definition video switches that can each accept 2 video sources. This input scheme allows up to 8 sources to be available while viewing any 4 on the output displays concurrently.

The 8x4 Matrix for HDMI eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect sources to displays. It works with Blu-Ray players, Set-Top boxes, Home Theater PCs, and game consoles that connect to an HDMI display. Any source is accessible at all times by any display by selecting it using an IR remote or an RS-232 remote control device. The Matrix comes with rack ears for mounting in a shelving system.

Fully HDCP Compliant
HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) is a standard digital code embedded in the HDMI video signal to prevent it from being pirated. HDCP-encoded source video that is fed into equipment not having the proper decoding mechanism will be transformed to "snow" or very low (480P) resolution images. For proper, full-resolution HDTV video rendition, the source and display (and anything in between) must be equipped with HDMI circuitry that decodes HDCP properly, such as the 8x4 HDMI Matrix.

Up to 8 HDMI sources (4 viewable at any one time) connect to the Matrix's inputs and up to four Displays connect to the Matrix's outputs. Power up the 8x4 Matrix, HDMI sources and all connected Displays. Select which HDMI sources you want to view on each display using the IR remote. The result will be clear and vibrant HDMI video with multichannel digital audio at each Display.

Important Note:
The 8x4 Matrix for HDMI incorporates a 2x1 switch in front of each input on a traditional 4x4 matrix. This allows for the connection of up to 8 different HDMI source devices with a maximum of 4 sources available for viewing at any one time. Each of the 4 switched inputs on the 8x4 Matrix for HDMI are labeled as "A" and "B". Both "A" and "B" for each input cannot be active at the same time.

The 8x8 Matrix for HDMI provides a simple, reliable and highly effective method of connecting any 8 HD displays to any 8 HDMI sources.

This version supports single-link DVI. Dual-Link is not supported at this time.

Computers and HDTV video source devices can sometimes lose the EDID -- basically the electronic identification of a display which lists its possible resolutions and frequencies. When displays are switched away or disconnected and then reconnected, the EDID can be lost and the computer or HD video source device can lose the ability to display the image properly.

The Gefen HDMI Detective Plus allows you to switch or relocate HDTV or Computer video displays while "tricking" the source devices into continuously reading the display information -- maintaining smooth video operations throughout the process.

You simply program the HDMI Detective Plus for the display that you will use, by performing a programming step while having the device connected to the display and a power adapter. Next, you put it into place on the video output of your video source and restart your equipment. When all sources and displays are powered on, seamless functioning of video source and display equipment will commence.

External buttons make EDID programming and settings operations a breeze -- formerly, some operations could require opening the unit.


Note:  

This device is HDCP compliant.

Computers can sometimes lose the EDID -- basically the electronic identification of a display which lists its possible resolutions and frequencies. When displays are switched away or disconnected and then reconnected, the EDID can be lost and the computer can lose the ability to display the image properly.

The DVI Detective solves this problem by memorizing the EDID information. It does this by being programmed in a simple process. Once the DVI Detective has the display's EDID memorized, it can be placed over the output of the computer's video port, where it fools the computer into thinking that a display is present, even when the display is switched away to another computer.

After a simple initial programming step involving only the monitor and the DVI Detective, you simply connect the video source on one side of the DVI Detective and the extension module or switcher on the other side.

External buttons and no power after programming make EDID programming and settings operations a breeze.

The Gefen DVI Detective Plus allows you to switch or relocate HDTV or Computer video displays while "tricking" the source devices into continuously reading the display information -- maintaining smooth video operations throughout the process.

Prior to first use, the DVI Detective is connected to the Display where it stores the Display's EDID while under power. The power is then removed from the DVI Detective which is placed to the output of your video source. The stored EDID is permanently saved.

Note:  

The DVI Detective Plus includes 4 built-in manually-selectable generic EDIDs (display identities) for several standard home theater setups with multi-channel audio and standard HDTV resolutions. This functionality is vital when equipment reaches a state of indeterminite function and will not respond to signals or controls properly, and a certain resolution size with specific audio must be forced upon all connected equipment.

Note: 

In order for the HDMI output signal and external digital audio outputs to contain digital audio, each video input signal must be paired with a like type of analog or digital audio signal prior to conversion to a purely digital signal. For instance, a VGA signal would be input along with analog 2-channel L/R audio. A DVI-D source could be input along with TOSLINK. The result is a single HDMI output signal with both embedded and external digital audio containing as many audio channels as were input.

Input of a DVI-D signal (or display of an HDMI signal on a DVI-D monitor) requires a DVI to HDMI cable or adapter.
