OPERATION
Connect the AT-HD-V18 Splitter to your devices
1. Connect the HDMI cable from the HD source to the input port of AT-HD-V18 Splitter.
2. Connect the HDMI cables from your displays (monitor or projector) to the outputs of the AT- HD-V18 Splitter.
3. Standard resolution of outputs set up:
Please set the output resolution ofthe source device first, and make sure the resolution can be displayed on all con-
nected display devices. For example, if you set the output resolution of the source device to 1080p, please make
sure all the display devices can display 1080p resolution. If any connected display device cannot support 1080p
resolution, the display device will show no pictures.
4. Plug the 12VDC power supply into the AT-HD-V18 Splitter.
5. When connections are completed, the HDTV signal will be distributed to each HDTV dis-play.
6. For the best performance, you should re-start the AT-HD-V18 splitter power to make sure the AT-HD-V18 is work-
ing well in HDCP between HD player and Display devices, when the HDMI cable was disconnected after your last
use.
ATTENTIONS
•
•
AT-HD-V18 will distribute one resolution only at one time. Please set the output resolution of the source device
first, and make sure the resolution can be displayed on all connected display devices.
The resolution mode will depend on the first plug-in or first of the sequent display devices that can suc-cessfully
communicate with the source devise. Make sure your display devices can support the highest resolution as the
source device can support, and your display devices are HDCP compliant and fully support HDCP.
Ifthe AT-HD-V18 is connected to multiple HDTVs which support different highest resolution (720p, 1080i, 1080p
1920x1200), it is recommended to adjust the output resolution ofsource device to match the resolution of HDTV
that has lower resolution.
For example, the AT-HD-V18 is connected to 2 HDTVs, and one of them only supports 720p HD resolu¬tion, but
another can support up to 1080p. If you want them to show the same HD content, please set the output resolution
of source device to 720p.
To reset the HDMI Splitter, please unplug the power adaptor, or unplug the power cord from DC jack; and then
plug it back.
