This application distributes a single 4K Ultra HD video source to multiple 4K Ultra HD Displays by daisy-
chaining multiple Gefen GTB-HD4K2K-142C-BLK two-way splitters. The source in the example is a 4K
Ultra HD digital signage media player, but could be any Ultra HD or HD source. The example shows an
application for the D-Lux Hotel lobby, displaying information about the day's schedule of events, with
the current screen calling attention to the hotel restaurant being open all day.
This is a very simple application to design and install. Simply connect the HDMI output on the source
to the HDMI input on Splitter 1. Connect one HDMI Out on Splitter 1 to a 4K Ultra HD display. Connect
the other HDMI Out on Splitter 1 to the HDMI In on Splitter 2 and repeat for the number of required
displays. Each 'split' in a daisy-chain or cascade system (page 4) is called a 'layer'. The maximum
number of layers for Gefen GTB 4K UHD Series Splitters is ten. The maximum number of displays for
this application is ten. For more displays, daisy-chain four-way or eight-way splitters, (next page) or
use just about any combination of two, four and eight-way splitters to accommodate the number of
displays needed to show a single source.
