splitter purchased. Each monitor can be located up to 200 feet away

from the splitter.

This product is supplied with the following components:

1 TwinSplit or QuadSplit for RGB

1 9 Vdc power transformer

1 User’s Manual

1 Product Registration Card and Survey

Installation

1. Locate TwinSplit or QuadSplit within close proximity of the

computer.

2. Connect coaxial cable from the monitor output of the computer to

the

red, green

and

blue

input connectors. Depending on your

computer and monitor type, you may also need to connect coaxial

cables from the computer to the input connectors marked H/CS

(Horizontal/Composite Sync) and/or V (Vertical Sync).

3. If you are using an adapter cable, such as an HD-15 to 5 BNC cable

or other adapter cable, connect that adapter to the input and/or

output as necessary for the computer type you are using.

4. Connect the monitor(s) to the

red, green, blue, H/CS

and

V

outputs

on the rear of TwinSplit or QuadSplit. Monitor extension cables

(CAB-43) may be used to extend the distance up to 200 feet.

5. Plug the supplied 9 Vdc wall power transformer into the jack marked

Power

on the rear of TwinSplit or QuadSplit.

6. Plug the power transformer into a 110 Vac wall outlet as appropriate.

The front panel LED should glow red indicating the unit is properly

powered.

7. Turn on the computer and the monitor(s). The monitor(s) will now

display the computer’s output.

System Operation

TwinSplit and QuadSplit require no ongoing adjustments once

they are installed. They are designed to work continuously and can

be placed “out of sight” if desired. The design intention of the product

is to provide a reliable means of extending the viewing position of



RGB monitors. They can also be used to drive multiple monitors

at the same time.

Additionally, each monitor output is independently buffered. This

ensures isolation and proper signal levels, regardless of the number

of monitors used. The splitters may be cascaded to achieve muliple

outputs at different distances from the computer. Communications

Specialties can help with specific application assistance.

Please note that the plug-in transformer will feel warm after the

unit is on for a period of time. This is normal, as TwinSplit and QuadSplit

draw a signficant amount of power.
