Modes of Operation
The HD View 8
TM
can be configured for two different modes of operation.
1) 75 Ohm termination mode for stand alone distribution applications or as the terminating
unit at the end of a “daisy-chain” of HD View 8
TM
units. This is the factory default mode
of operation.
2) High Impedance Loop through mode for “daisy-chaining”. This mode must always be
used when connecting to an additional HD View 8
TM
unit.
Product Hookup
After unpacking the unit make sure to make all connections before plugging in the power
adapter.
The HD View 8
TM
will receive virtually any RGBHV signal from a HDTV multimedia or comput-
er source and distribute to VGA based monitors. A typical hookup will consist of a “source”
device which should be hooked up to the DB15 input. Formats accepted include all SD and
HD formats: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i/540p and VESA-based PC formats from 640x480 to
1600x1200 with refresh rates 50 Hz to 80 Hz. After hooking up the “Source” device to the
marked input connector, the HD View 8
TM
will distribute this source up to 8 monitors that are
hooked up to the output DB15 connectors. If you need to distribute the “source” to more
than 8 monitors, you can “daisy-chain” the HD View 8
TM
to another HD View 8
TM
by using the
High Impedance loop through mode of operation. When using a daisy chain of HD View 8
TM
s,
you need to connect the loop-through DB15 connector on the first unit to the DB-15 input
connector of the next unit in the chain. Use also need to set the mode of operation as noted
in the next paragraph of this manual.
