INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the 2:8 DVI DistributionAmpliﬁer. The 2:8 DVI distri-

bution ampliﬁer is an innovative solution for anyone with more complex computer system

requirements, like studios and presentation venues where multi-viewing is essential. The

2:8 DVI distribution ampliﬁer accommodates various system scenarios. Most commonly,

two video sources (either DVI-equipped computer, DVD player or satellite set top box)

are connected to the distribution ampliﬁer on one side. On the output side, eight video

outputs are available to be used in part or in full. Once the unit is connected and powered,

each source can be routed to multiple displays.All DVI displays are driven by the two DVI

sources with each source or computer capable of driving eight displays at one time. For

home theater applications, the unit is HDCP (high deﬁnition content protection) compliant,

making it effective for use with all DVI displays.

How it works:

Gefen’s Gefen 2:8 DVI distribution ampliﬁer is an expandable distribution hub that sends

the same DVI graphics source to eight DVI based digital screens (ﬂat panels or projec-

tors).It isa ﬂexiblesolution thataccommodates multipleDVI displays.You canswitch from

source one and two via the RMT-2IR remote control. The 2:8 DVI distribution ampliﬁer is

also equipped with an auto sensing feature to switch between whatever source is active.

When one source is inactive it will automatically switch to the active source.

The Gefen 2:8 DVI distribution ampliﬁer is connected with a DVI (male to male) cable from

the DVI graphic source to the distribution ampliﬁer input. There are eight DVI outputs in

each module. DVI output one is the primary connection and is used for the main display.

DVI output 2 thru 8 follow the main display. The 2:8 DVI distribution ampliﬁers is using a

uniqueDVI Bus™technologyto connectmultiple ampliﬁerswithoutsacriﬁcinga DVIoutput

connection. The ninth output is an expansion output used to daisy chain an additional 2:8

DVI DistributionAmpliﬁer. The 2:8 DVI DistributionAmpliﬁer is expandable to 256 outputs

(32 DVI DA’s).

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING

OR OPERATING THE 2:8 DVI DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER SYSTEM

• All the monitors connected to the 2:8 DVI DistributionAmpliﬁer must be able to run at the

same native resolution. The 2:8 DVI DistributionAmpliﬁer does not scale the video.

• The 2:8 DVI Distribution Ampliﬁer units are housed in a metal box for better RF shield-

ing.

• You must connect the sources and displays prior to applying power to the unit.

DIP SWITCH SELECT SETTINGS

Extended display identiﬁcation data (EDID) is a data structure provided by a display to

describe its capabilities to any source that asks for it. The EDID includes manufacturer

name, product type, timings supported by the display, display size, luminance data, (for

digital displays only) pixel mapping data, supported audio channels and formats. This

information is used by the source to cater its output to resolutions and audio formats

that are supported by the display.

Additional EDID modes are available and conﬁgured using a combination of dip

switches 1, 2, and 5. Please refer below for the different EDID modes.

To access the Dip Switches, remove all screws from the bottom and sides of the Gefen

unit. Remove the hex screw heads from each side of the rear DVI & RS-232 ports.

Carefully slide the unit apart. The 8 Bank of Dip Switches are located on the main PCB.

Once adjustments are complete, slide the unit back together and replace all removed

screws.

EDID Mode 0 (Switch 1=OFF Switch2=OFF Switch5=ON)

-EDID is copied from the ﬁrst HDMI port

EDID Mode 1 (Switch 1=ON Switch2=OFF Switch5=ON)

-Same as Mode 0 and adds basic audio support

EDID Mode 2 (Switch 1=OFF Switch2=ON Switch5=ON)

-Same as Mode 0 and adds full audio support

EDID Mode 3 (Switch 1=ON Switch2=ON Switch5=OFF)

-EDID is generated based on the common video and audio features of all of the

connected devices

EDID Mode 4 (Switch 1=OFF Switch2=ON Switch5=OFF)

-Same as Mode 3 and adds basic audio support

EDID Mode 5 (Switch 1=ON Switch2=OFF Switch5=OFF)

-Same as Mode 3 and adds full audio support

EDID Mode 6 (Switch 1=OFF Switch2=OFF Switch5=OFF) DEFAULT

-EDID is generated based on the common video features of all of the connected

devices and the combined audio features of all of the connected devices

IR CODE CONFLICTS

How to Resolve IR Code Conﬂicts

There are matching pairs of dip switches underneath the 2x8 DVI DAunit and under the

remote battery cover. Switch 1 & 2 on the Remote and Switch 3 & 4 inside the unit are the

matching switches. These switches need to be matched for the remote to

communicate with the switcher. There are 4 possible sets of IR codes and at least one of

these sets should be able to resolve any IR conﬂicts with other home theater devices.

Additional control of the EDID modes and IR channel are possible using the RS-232

interface. For any of these modes to be successfully written to the EEPROM, all Dip

Switches must be in the OFF position.

OK is printed out on screen when a mode has successfully been changed.
