INTRODUCTION

The Xantech 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3

The Xantech 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 allows set-top boxes, DVD players, Bluray players and other HDTV devices with HDMI outputs to be connected to up to two HDTV displays (or more if multiple splitters are utilized in place of HDTV displays).

How It Works

The Xantech 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 is a distribution hub that sends the same HDMI signals to two HDMI-compatible digital display devices. An HDMI video source is connected to the input jack on the 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3.

HDMI-compatible displays are connected to each of the HDMI outputs on the

1X2 Splitter, and beautiful, sharp HDMI video will then emerge on all of your connected displays.

OPERATING THE XANTECH 1X2 SPLITTER FOR HDMI 1.3

By default, display information from the display connected to HDMI output port 1 is sent back to the source. Therefore, the other display connected to the 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 must be capable of accepting the timings and resolutions of the display that is connected to HDMI output port 1. It is recommended that the display with the lowest native resolution be connected to HDMI output port 1. This is to ensure that a compatible video signal will be able to be displayed on all connected monitors. There is a generic EDID programmed into the 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 that can be used instead. Please see page 5 for more details.

The Xantech 1x2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 is HDMI/HDCP compliant and is compatible with all HDMI and DVI* displays.

It is recommended that the display with the lowest native resolution be connected to HDMI output port 1. This is to ensure that a compatible video signal will be able to be displayed on all connected monitors. There is a generic EDID programmed into the 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 that can be used instead.

Please see below for the activation process.

EDID MODE

The HDMI1X2 has an EDID button which will determine if the EDID is used from the display attached to output 1 (Ext. mode) or if the onboard EDID (Int. mode) will be used.

The current EDID mode can be determined by which EDID mode LED is active on the front panel. The Ext LED will indicate that the external EDID (from output port 1) is being used, and the Int LED will indicate that the internal pre-programmed EDID is being used.

If you want to use the onboard EDID, press the EDID button on the rear panel and then press the reset button to activate the new EDID mode. To revert back to using the external EDID, press the EDID button again and then reset the unit using the reset button to activate the new EDID mode.
