Product Features
Technical Overview
This HDMI splitter employs advanced signal processing to maintain video quality across all connected displays. The auto-detection circuitry identifies the highest common resolution supported by connected displays, automatically configuring output settings for optimal compatibility without manual intervention.
The device supports 12-bit Deep Color for enhanced color reproduction and includes full 3D support for compatible content sources. HDCP compliance ensures protected content plays correctly across the distribution chain, while cascading capability allows expansion beyond eight displays by connecting multiple units in series. LED indicators provide visual confirmation of active display connections, simplifying troubleshooting during setup and operation.
Relevant factors for this section include Number of Input Devices Supported, Device Supported, Number of Displays Supported, Graphics Modes. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
Beyond basic signal splitting, the AVIOR HDMI Splitter incorporates several features that distinguish it in professional AV applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of displays this HDMI splitter can support?
The IOGEAR GHSP8118 AVIOR HDMI Splitter supports eight HDMI displays directly from a single HDMI input. For larger display arrays, the cascading capability allows connecting multiple splitters in series to expand beyond eight displays while maintaining signal quality across the entire distribution chain.
What video resolutions does this splitter support?
This splitter supports resolutions up to 1920×1200 WUXGA, along with 1080p, 1080i, 720p, and 480p HDTV formats. It maintains compatibility with legacy computer graphics modes including VGA, SVGA, SXGA, UXGA, and XGA, making it suitable for mixed display environments with both modern and older equipment.
How far can the signal travel from the source to the displays?
The maximum operating distance is 121 feet (36880.80 mm) from the source device to the connected displays. This extended reach accommodates installations in large venues, distributed display networks, and facilities where source equipment must be located separately from viewing areas.
Is this splitter compatible with DVI devices?
Yes, the splitter is backward compatible with DVI devices when used with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter. This allows integration with older displays or source equipment that feature DVI interfaces rather than HDMI, providing flexibility in mixed-interface environments without requiring separate conversion equipment.
Can this splitter be mounted in a standard equipment rack?
Yes, the splitter features a rack-mountable form factor designed for standard 19-inch equipment racks. The included rack mount kit provides all necessary hardware for secure installation, and the 1.75-inch height occupies minimal vertical space while ensuring proper ventilation for reliable operation in rack environments.
What is included in the package with this HDMI splitter?
The package contains the AVIOR HDMI Splitter unit, a rack mount kit for equipment rack installation, a power adapter for operation, a quick start guide for setup instructions, and a warranty card documenting the 3-year limited warranty coverage. All components are included for immediate deployment in either rack-mounted or standalone configurations.
