OVERVIEW

The DVS2P is a 2-port DVI splitter, which can send one DVI video source signal to two connected DVI monitors for identical displays.

The DVS2P is plug-and-play, meaning it is ready for immediate use upon connection to input-output devices and a power supply. Simply connect the splitter to a DVI source and two monitors, then power on the unit: your DVI video will display on both monitors in stunning Full HD (1920x1200 @ 60Hz). The DVS2P excels at creating dual-screen displays in a variety of settings and applications. Set up a DVS2P at bench testing facilities, data servers for better visualization of information, help desks for unified displays, and more!

If you need to add more monitors, you need to attach an addition splitter box.

Connect a DVI male/male extension cable between a Video Out port or the primary splitter (the splitter connected to the computer) and the Video In port on the cascaded splitter.

NOTE: Even though you can cascade the splitter, the image might become unstable if you cascade too many tiers of splitters.
