INTRODUCTION
The Xantech 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3
The Xantech 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 allows set-top boxes, DVD players, Blu-
ray players and other HDTV devices with HDMI outputs to be connected to up
to two HDTV displays (or more if multiple splitters are utilized in place of HDTV
displays).
How It Works
The Xantech 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 is a distribution hub that sends the
same HDMI signals to two HDMI-compatible digital display devices. An HDMI
video source is connected to the input jack on the 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3.
HDMI-compatible displays are connected to each of the HDMI outputs on the
1X2 Splitter, and beautiful, sharp HDMI video will then emerge on all of your
connected displays.
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE XANTECH 1X2 SPLITTER FOR HDMI 1.3
•
By default, display information from the display connected to HDMI output port 1 is
sent back to the source. Therefore, the other display connected to the 1X2 Splitter
for HDMI 1.3 must be capable of accepting the timings and resolutions of the
display that is connected to HDMI output port 1. It is recommended that the display
with the lowest native resolution be connected to HDMI output port 1. This is to
ensure that a compatible video signal will be able to be displayed on all connected
monitors. There is a generic EDID programmed into the 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3
that can be used instead. Please see page 5 for more details.

The Xantech 1x2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 is HDMI/HDCP compliant and is

CONNECTING THE 1X2 SPLITTER FOR HDMI 1.3
How to Connect the 1X2 Splitter For HDMI 1.3
1. Connect the supplied cable from the HDMI source into the 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3
input.
2. Connect the cables from your displays (monitor or projector) into the HDMI outs
of the 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3. Up to 2 displays are supported.
3. Plug the 5V DC power supply into the 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3.
NOTE: By Default, the display information from the display connected to HDMI output
port 1 is sent back to the source. Therefore, the other display that is connected to the
1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 must be capable of accepting the timings and resolutions of the
display that is connected to HDMI output port 1. It is recommended that the display with
the lowest native resolution be connected to HDMI output port 1. This is to ensure that a
compatible video signal will be able to be displayed on all connected monitors. There is
a generic EDID programmed into the 1X2 Splitter for HDMI 1.3 that can be used instead.
Please see below for the activation process.
EDID MODE
The HDMI1X2 has an EDID button which will determine if the EDID is used from the
display attached to output 1 (Ext. mode) or if the onboard EDID (Int. mode) will be
used.
The current EDID mode can be determined by which EDID mode LED is active on
the front panel. The Ext LED will indicate that the external EDID (from output port 1)
is being used, and the Int LED will indicate that the internal pre-programmed EDID is
being used.
If you want to use the onboard EDID, press the EDID button on the rear panel and
then press the reset button to activate the new EDID mode. To revert back to using
the external EDID, press the EDID button again and then reset the unit using the reset
button to activate the new EDID mode.
