Chapter 2: Overview 2. Overview 2.1 Introduction The DVI Splitters broadcast the same video with audio signals from one video (and audio) signal source to two, four, or eight DVI compatible ports. To expand the broadcast significantly, you can cascade several splitters together. Depending on the length and cable quality, this fully HDCP-compliant splitter supports DVI display resolutions of up to Full HD (1920 x 1080)/WUXGA (1920 x 1200)/UXGA (1600 x 1200), and is also Blu-ray ready.

Chapter 3: Installation 3. Installation WARNING: Before installation, power off all devices that will be connected to this system. • Make sure that all devices you will connect are properly grounded. • Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely to generate electrical noise. Use one DVI male-to-male cable to connect a video source to the video splitter Input (SOURCE). Connect multiple monitors or TVs to the video splitter’s output ports.

Chapter 3: Installation NOTE: Connect at least one monitor to the splitter before powering on the source device. NOTE: Connect the splitter to the computer before powering on the computer. NOTE: Use an HDCP-compliant display to connect the splitter to the HDCP video source. NOTE: Each output port on the unit is required to apply the same connection pattern whenever a DVI-to-HDMI (or HDMI-to-DVI) adapter is used for HDMI (or DVI) signal conversion between the unit and the HDMI (or DVI) display.
Chapter 3: Installation Blu-ray uses a blue-violet laser to read and write data, while current optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVDRAM rely on a red laser to read and write data. Blu-ray uses a blue-violet laser (405 nm) that it has a shorter wavelength than a red laser (650 nm), which makes it possible to focus the laser spot with even greater precision.
Chapter 4: Operation 4. Operation The quality of the output signal depends largely upon the quality of the video source, cable, and display device used. Low-quality cables degrade the output signal causing elevated noise levels. Use the proper cable and make sure the display device is capable of handling the resolution and refresh rate selected. Interference from nearby electrical devices can adversely affect signal quality. Table 4-1. LED display.
Chapter 4: Operation 2 1 Figure 4-2. AVSP-DVI1X4. 2 1 Figure 4-3. AVSP-DVI1X8. NOTE: Connect at least one display device to the splitter before you power on the source unit. Page 20 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
Appendix: Troubleshooting Appendix. Troubleshooting A.1 Symptoms, Possible Causes, and Solutions Symptom: Video does not display on some ports. Possible Cause: DVI specification of the source devices doesn’t match the DVI specification of DVI cable and/or the DVI display device. Solution #1: There are three DVI standards: DVI-I, DVI-D, and DVI-A. Make sure that DVI specifications of the source devices, cables, and monitors all match. NOTE: Some monitors can support multiple DVI signals.
Appendix: Troubleshooting Possible Cause #4: The attached devices are not well connected. Solution #4: Make sure you connected your components correctly.
