Frequently Asked Questions - DVISPL1DD StarTech.com

Does the DVISPL1DD require external power?

No, the DVISPL1DD is a passive splitter that draws power directly from the DVI source signal. No external power adapter is needed.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

The splitter supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz for single-link DVI-D signals. Higher resolutions may not work reliably.

Can I use this splitter with DVI-I or DVI-A signals?

The DVISPL1DD is designed for DVI-D (digital) signals only. It does not support analog (DVI-A) or combined (DVI-I) signals.

How do I connect the splitter?

Connect your DVI source (e.g., computer) to the input port, then connect up to two DVI displays to the output ports. It is plug-and-play; no software required.

Will both monitors show the same image?

Yes, the splitter duplicates the signal, so both displays will show the same content. It does not support extended desktop mode.

Does the splitter support HDCP?

No, the DVISPL1DD does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). It may not work with protected content like Blu-ray.

What is the cable length limit?

For best performance, keep total cable length (source to splitter + splitter to display) under 15 feet (4.5 meters) for each output.

Is there any signal degradation?

As a passive splitter, some signal loss may occur. For longer runs or higher resolutions, a powered splitter is recommended.

Can I use adapters to convert to HDMI?

Yes, you can use a DVI to HDMI adapter/cable on the outputs, but note that the splitter only outputs DVI-D digital video, not audio.

What should I do if the displays do not show an image?

Check all connections, ensure your source supports DVI-D output, try shorter cables, and verify the displays are set to the correct input. If issues persist, contact StarTech support.
