Introduction

SPIDER

TM

OHD14 and OHD18, HDMI Distributors, allow one digital video sources to be spilt into multiple digital displays. The built-in amplification function enables HDMI signal distribution without signal loss.

High Quality Picture - No Signal Loss and Digital Noise Free

Our HDMI distributors are built to deliver the highest quality picture preserving the native resolutions of the video sources without any signal loss. At the same time, the digital noises that may affect the picture quality will be eliminated.

Due to the nature of the digital signals and passing through multiple stages of connection when using distribution amplifiers, it is important to eliminate the digital noises and boost the signal strength to preserve/enhance the video signal quality.

Signal Distribution for signal reliability and long length signal

transmission.

Our 5V power adapter supplies adequate power to amplify the video signals from the video source. This is necessary as the overall length from the video source to the displays is longer when using the HDMI distributors (distance from the video source to the distribution amplifier + distance from the distribution amplifier to the display). In most cases, the overall distance that the

HDMI signal will need to travel is over 15ft. Due to the nature of HDMI signals, distribution is necessary to warrant the video quality and reliability. (Without distribution, there may be occasional blackouts or blinking effects) With this distribution feature, your video display can be extended using our fiber optical

HDMI cables.

1-6 Features

Installation

1. Connect your video source’s HDMI output port to the HDMI input port using standard HDMI cables (not included). Make sure all your HDMI sources and the displays are turned off before connecting the cables.

2. Connect your HDMI display’s HDMI input port to OHD14/18 HDMI output port.

Make sure your HDMI display is turned off before connecting the cables.

3. Plug the 5V power supply into the power input port.

4. Plug the 5V wall mount power supply into the wall outlet.

5. Turn on the power switch, your displays, and video source.

6. Turn on your video source.

Note:

1) Power LED indicator: This Led is green/red when power is on/off

2) Sync LED: When a HDMI source is connected to the input port, this LED will be turned on only when the distributor has established a link.

1-7 Installation

Installation (OHD14)

Front Panel

① CEC button & LED: Press this button to switch the CEC function on/off. The

LED will be turned yellow when it is switched on. The factory default setting is on.

Note:

1) In order to perform the CEC function, both source and display must have

CEC support.

2) The Standby mode only will be active when the last display has been switched to standby

② Output LED: When the HDMI display has been connected to the outputs, the

LED will be turned on.

③ EDID switch Int/Ext: When switched to Int, EDID’s manual settings of Deep

Color(12 or 8bits) and color space (RGB or YCbCr) are allowed. When switched to Ext, the distributor will use the external EDID. If the EDID is switched to Int, users can change the EDID ’s Deep Color value between 8 and 12bits, under the condition that all outputs support same color bits. For example, if the EDID is switched to 12bits but only 3 output displays support 12bits and one supports

8bits, the 8bits display will not be able to display any media.

1-8 Installation (OHD14)

Therefore it is recommended to choose settings compatible with all connected displays. Users can also switch between RGB or YCbCr for the EDID ’s color space. But again, all output displays need to comply with the selected settings.

Most TV monitors support both RGB and YCbCr but some monitors only support RGB. When the EDID color space is set to YCbCr some monitors may not display any image and/or display a “reddish” image. In this case, switching the EDID to RGB is a must. Factory default is set as YCbCr.

When the EDID is switched to Ext, the unit will detect the first HDMI output

EDID and record/save it in the unit. If the attached display to the first output source is DVI, it will skip to next output until the first HDMI is detected.

④ Reset switch: It’s always suggested to turn this setting OFF, unless performing a system reset. By turning it to on, the system will reset all connected displays to HDMI input 1 once every 8~10 minutes. Factory default is set as OFF.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Distributor not operate

No picture (or signal)

Or Poor picture

Incorrectly sized picture / resolution or No picture

Solution

Make sure the 5V power is plugged in the back of the unit.

Check to see if the power LED light is on.

1. If you are using copper based HDMI cable, overall length of the cables (length of the cable from video source to switch and length of the cable from switch to display) should not exceed 15ft. Exceeding 15ft. with copper based cables will result in no or poor picture quality. To extend beyond 15ft, please use fiber optical HDMI extension cables such as Opticis OC cables.

2. Use high quality HDMI cables.

3. If you are using computers, try other refresh rate settings. Most HDTVs have refresh rate of 60Hz and computer ’s video cards are usually set at higher refresh rate.

Try lower refresh rates.

4. Make sure all HDMI connectors are tightly secured to all HDMI ports. Loose screws on the HDMI connectors will result in no or poor picture.

5. Turn off all equipment (video source, switch and HDTV) and restart all equipments.

Please remember that your video source will only support one resolution setting. To connect 1600x1200 resolution display and

800x600 resolution display, the resolution setting of your video source must be set to the lower resolution setting (800x600)
