Installation
The LINDY DVI-D Video Splitter is a Plug & Play device. No special software or configuration is
required. Simply connect the cables according to the maximum allowed cable distances (as
detailed in the Features section), and you're ready to go!
Step 1
Make sure the computer is powered off. Using a DVI-D Male to Male video cable connect the
DVI output port on the computer to the Video in port on the DVI splitter. Connect the power
adapter to the socket on the back of the DVI Splitter and plug the adapter into a mains outlet to
power the Splitter.
Step 2
Using a DVI-D Male to Male cable connect each of your monitors to the Video out ports on the
DVI Splitter.
Note: If you are connecting the DVI splitter to several monitors which differ in their native
resolution support (i.e. one monitor may support a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 and
another may support a maximum of 1024 x 768), then we suggest you connect the monitor with
the lowest resolution support to the first Video out port on the back panel. This allows your
operating system (Windows etc...) to detect this monitors resolution and set it as the working
resolution for video output.
Step 3
Power on your monitors first, then power on your computer to complete the installation.
Cascading DVI Splitters
To cascade (daisy chain)
multiple DVI Video Splitters:
Connect your PC to the DVI
Splitter as detailed above. Use
a DVI-D Male to Male cable to
connect Video out 1 on the first
Splitter to the Video in port of
the next. (See diagram)
Note: Generally speaking you can cascade up to two levels of DVI Splitters. Although 3-level
(and more) daisy chaining of DVI Video Splitters is always possible, video signal degradation
may become more noticeable, especially when using cables longer than 3m.
