DVI Distribution Amplifier from ComputerCableStore™.
One DVI Input, Two DVI Outputs
Expandable To Six DVI Outputs
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:x6 distribution (one DVI input / multiple DVI display outputs). When multiple units are stacked you can switch between all the inputs into all the outputs with the RMT-16 remote control. The configuration of stacking multiple units must be done by Gefen professionals.
How it works
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.
The DVI displays attached to the Splitter must be able to run at the same native resolution.
Package Includes:
the DVI splitter
6ft DVI cable M-M
5v Power Supply
Note: The DVI Splitter will only output a DVI-D (DVI digital) signal. If your using a DVI-I cable, it will ONLY pass the digital signal. Using a DVI-I to VGA adapter off output #2 will not pass an analog signal. A DVI-D to VGA converter is required to convert to an analog signal.
DVI, or Digital Video Interface Technology came about in 1999 as a result of the formation of the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) a year prior. Their original mission was to create a standard digital video interface for communication between a Personal Computer and a VGA monitor. Recently, however, the consumer electronics industry began implementing DVD players, set-top boxes, televisions, and LCD/plasma monitors with DVI technology.
The term Video Graphics Array (VGA) refers specifically to the display hardware first introduced with the IBM PS/2 line of computers in 1987, but through its widespread adoption has also come to mean either an analog computer display standard, the 15-pin D-subminiature VGA connector or the 640×480 resolution itself. While this resolution has been superseded in the personal computer market, it is becoming a popular resolution on mobile devices.
DVI-D, or Digital Video Interface Technology Digital came about in 1999 as a result of the formation of the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) a year prior. Their original mission was to create a standard digital video interface for communication between a Personal Computer and a VGA monitor. DVI-D will support only Digital video signals.
DVI-I, or Digital Video Interface Technology Intergrated came about in 1999 as a result of the formation of the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) a year prior. Their original mission was to create a standard digital video interface for communication between a Personal Computer and a VGA monitor. DVI-I will support both Digital and analog video signals.
