The Gefen Mini 1:8 Splitter for HDMI 1.3

The Mini 1:8 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 is a compact and lightweight wall-mounted alternative to our rack-mounted HDMI 1.3 splitters. The Mini 1:8 Splitter for HDMI

1.3sends one source of HDMI digital high definition audio/video to 8 HDMI-com- pliant displays at the same time. It supports all HDMI equipment such as DVD players, satellite set-top boxes, and all HDMI displays. Features include transmis- sion of high-def, deep color video resolutions up to 1080p@60 Hz combined with advanced lossless digital audio formats for pristine sound reproduction.

How It Works

Connect your HDMI video source to the Mini 1:8 Splitter for HDMI 1.3’s input using the supplied HDMI cable. Connect up to 8 HDMI-compliant displays to the unit’s 8 HDMI outputs. Once connected and powered, the source signal will be seen on all eight displays at the same time.

Note:

This Splitter will attempt to identify and configure connected displays by captur- ing their EDID data (resolution/capability information that is unique to a particular display). If EDID data is unavailable, the Splitter can use a pre-programmed standard EDID that is compatible with most displays. A bank of 2 EDID function switches on the front panel allows selection of EDID type (internal or external) and 2-channel or multichannel audio.

All 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 by sharing the resolution and capability information (EDID) obtained from the Primary Display.
