1.0 INTRODUCTION The DVI-5312b and DVI-5314b are high-performance digital repeaters with one (1) DVI input and either two (2) or four (4) independent, re-clocked DVI outputs. All inputs and outputs are fully HDMI v1.3 compatible, enabling full interoperability with both DVI and HDMI sources and displays. These units accept a single DVI or HDMI input signal, which is de-serialized, buffered and applied to independent DVI compatible HDMI v1.3 transmitters at each output.

3.0 PACKAGE CONTENTS Before attempting to use this unit, please check the packaging and make certain the following items are contained in the shipping carton: • • • 1x DVI 1x2 Splitter / Repeater or DVI 1x4 Splitter / Repeater 1x External AC Power Adapter 1x User Guide Note: Please retain the original packing material should the need ever arise to return the unit.

The DVI-5312b and DVI-5314b splitters are functionally identical with the exception of the number of outputs. Both units have a single DVI-D input and a +5 VDC power input jack. These connections, as well as the output connectors, are located on the rear panel. 4.1 Input / Output Connections Connect a DVI-D or HDMI compliant input signal from a suitable source device to the DVI Input Port. Next connect the output devices (typically displays) to the DVI Output Ports.
5.1 EDID Management EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a collection of data cached inside all modern displays that describes the unit’s capabilities. The EDID information is defined by a standard published by the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) and includes information such as the manufacture’s name, model number, supported resolutions and video timings, supported audio formats, color space, etc.
Output #1, then Output #2, etc. The splitter will select the EDID from the first HDMI v1.3 compatible display that it finds. If no such displays are connected to the splitter, it will select the first EDID that it finds from a connected display that is HDMI v1.2 compatible. If no such displays are found, it will select the first EDID that it finds from a connected DVI display. The selected EDID information becomes the “reference EDID” and is stored in the splitter’s memory.
