INSTALLATION Installation Installing the Video Splitter DVI is a very simple and straight forward process. It is recommended that all equipment be powered off to start. Connect your DVI or VGA video source (PC, Set-Top Box, DVD Player, etc) to the DVI-IN connector (DVI-I Female) on the rear panel. If you are using a VGA video source, a VGA to DVI adapter must be used. Next connect your DVI video monitor cables to the DVI-I connectors on the rear panel labeled Output x.
If your application requires that the DVI monitors be extended further than the standard 15 to 32 feet that a DVI cable allows, Rose Electronics offers a CATx and a Fiber DVI extender unit that can extend the distance up to 450 feet using CATx cable or up to 6 miles using singlemode fiber cable.
