Product Description
The Gefen EXT - DVI - 144DL 1x4 DVI Dual Link Splitter is a top - notch device. It can distribute a dual - link DVI source to four DVI dual - link outputs without any loss in quality or resolution. This splitter works great with any dual - link DVI computer that supports resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 (WQXGA) and 3840 x 2160 (QFHD). It supports internal, downstream, and custom EDIDs, which helps in quickly integrating the source and displays. When you're not using it, you can put it in stand - by mode via RS - 232, reducing power consumption to less than 0.5W. You can also manage EDID, do output masking, and update the firmware via RS - 232. This product is very versatile. You can place it on a shelf or a horizontal surface, or mount it in a standard 19 - inch wide rack using the included rack ears. Key features include distributing a dual - link source to four outputs, supporting various high - resolution formats like up to 1080p Full HD (60 Hz), single - link up to 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA), and dual - link up to 2560 x 1600 (WQXGA) at 60 Hz and 3840 x 2160 (QFHD) at 30 Hz, having EDID management, output masking, stand - by mode, field - updatable firmware via RS - 232, a locking power supply, and being rack - mountable.
Using the Gefen 1x4 DVI Dual Link Splitter is easy. First, connect your dual - link DVI source to the video input connector (a 29 - pin DVI - D female). Then, connect your four DVI dual - link displays to the four video output connectors (also 29 - pin DVI - D female). If you want to control the splitter, you can connect it to a device via the RS - 232 port (a DB - 9 female). When you're not using the splitter, put it in stand - by mode to save power. Remember to use the provided 5V DC locking power supply. Keep the splitter in an environment with a temperature between 32 to 104 degrees F (0 to 40 degrees C). If you need to update the firmware, you can do it via the RS - 232 connection. To maintain the splitter, just keep it clean and avoid any physical damage. If you want to mount it in a rack, use the included rack ears in a standard 19 - inch wide rack, 1U high.
