1.4 Introduction
The DVI-SPLITPRO-2B Dual Screen Video Processor is an advanced video processor for multimedia
presentations. It is an ideal solution for applications where up to four video signals must be displayed on a
single display. It supports up to 4 video inputs, of which 2 can be outputted simultaneously with the desired
display layout through software control. The advanced video processor allows you to manipulate output
images, wherever positions and whatever sizes you want for viewing two computers or two video signals or a
combination.
The embedded scalar converts signals from input sources to match the native resolution of monitors, flat
panel displays, projectors as well as user-selectable output settings up to WUXGA (1920x1200). Dual outputs
are provided in both analog (VGA) and digital (DVI) format, one is connected to remote display and the other
is connected to on-site display for real time monitoring.

Section 4: General Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Solution
Ensure that DVI-SPLITPRO-2B is plugged in
If you are recovering from power outage, accidentally unplug the
adapter or other power surge conditions, leave the device off for
a while and then power it on again.
No Power
Make sure all cables are in good working condition and properly
connected to the DVI-SPLITPRO-2B and displays.
Configure the output video resolution so that it doesn’t excess
the native resolution of the display. ( in this case, the message of
“out of range” is usually showed on your screen)
We suggest that don’t use T-connectors to split your video source
into to images displayed on two different screens. That will lower
output video quality. Use a distribution amplifier instead of
T-connectors.
No or Distorted Image
Poor Quality
Make sure the video source is not compressed and maintains the
highest native resolution.
Press “Auto” key on the remote control
Image Position Shifted
Auto color configuration only works at VGA and Component inputs
Press “Color Balance” key for auto configuration.
Auto color configuration only works at VGA and Component inputs.
