Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY 2 Port DisplayPort Splitter with Expander-view. This device is a
high performance DisplayPort splitter which allows one DisplayPort source to be shown simultaneously
on 2 different DP displays or extended across the displays to show one picture. The Expander-view
function detects how many displays are connected and generates a combined resolution EDID that
allows the picture to be extended across 2 displays.

Operation
The LINDY 2 port DisplayPort splitter is a plug and play device that does not need to be
configured with software or driver support. The splitter automatically switches between "clone"
mode and "extended" mode by controlling the output resolution on the computers graphics card.
Before you install the splitter, make sure all your devices are switched off.
1. Connect a DP cable from your PC to the DP "in" port of the splitter.
2. Connect the DP splitter to the "in" port of your displays.
NOTE: We strongly suggest using monitors of the same resolution and size. If using
monitors with different native resolutions, connect the monitor with the lowest resolution
to port 1. Otherwise the screen may remain blank and not work at all.
3. Power on the computer and then the displays. The splitter is powered from the DP port.
4. If you don't get a picture, reboot again. If this does not help, attach one monitor. If this
does not work the monitor model may be incompatible and would need changing.
5. When you have a picture on your displays, adjust the resolution on your PC to the
maximum supported for clone mode or the required resolution for multiple displays.
