Product Features
Technical Overview
This splitter handles dual-link DVI-D signals, which support higher resolutions and refresh rates than single-link connections. The 300 MHz bandwidth capacity enables it to process high-definition video streams efficiently, minimizing latency and preserving image clarity across both output channels. Each output delivers an identical copy of the input signal, ensuring synchronized display content.
The metal construction provides electromagnetic shielding to reduce interference, while the compact dimensions (8.20" wide x 2.20" deep x 1" high) allow for flexible placement in rack mounts, behind displays, or on desktop setups. The serial interface offers RS-232 compatibility for integration with automation systems, enabling commands for power cycling, signal routing, or diagnostic checks.
This section brings together practical product details such as Maximum Frequency, DVI In, DVI Out, Serial Port, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
