INTRODUCTION
The Linear 2:8 Distribution Amplifier For HDMI is the perfect solution for anyone who needs to send one or two sources of digital high definition video to multiple displays at the same time. It supports HDMI equipment, such as DVD players, satellite set top boxes, and HDMI displays. In operation, the digital source is connected to the distribution amplifier’s input while eight HDMI outputs are available to be used
in part or in full. Once the unit is connected and powered, your source can be distributed up to eight digital displays at the same time.
How It Works
Simply connect your HDMI video source to the 2:8 Distribution Amplifier’s input using the supplied HDMI cable. Then connect up to eight HDMI displays to the unit’s eight HDMI outputs. Once connected and powered, your source will be seen on all eight displays at the same time. When two or more 2:8’s are connected together, you can create a larger distribution system.
