Introduction / Operation Notes - Linear HDMI-DA-1X8 User Manual

The Linear 1:8 Distribution Amplifier for HDMI is the perfect solution for anyone
who needs to send one source of digital high definition video to multiple displays
at the same time. It supports HDMI equipment, such as DVD players, satellite set
top boxes and HDMI displays. In operation, the digital video source is connected to
the distribution amplifier's one input while eight HDMI outputs are available to be
used in part or in full. Once the unit is connected and powered, your source can be
distributed up to eight digital displays at the same time.
How It Works
Simply connect your HDMI video source to the 1:8 Distribution Amplifier for HDMI's
input using the supplied HDMI cable. Then connect up to eight HDMI displays to
the unit's eight HDMI outputs. Once connected and powered, your source can be
seen on all eight displays at the same time. When two or more 1:8's are connected
together, you can create a larger distribution system.
