Installation Instructions
1
Make sure the DisplayPort source is powered off.
2
Connect the source to the input port on the splitter using a
P580-Series DisplayPort cable (or a P583-Series Mini DisplayPort
to DisplayPort Cable).
Note:
It’s recommended that the distance
between the source and splitter be no greater than 6 ft. (1.8m).
Distances up to 16 ft. (5m) may be achievable, but are not
guaranteed.
3
Connect the included external power supply to the splitter, and plug
it into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, Power Distribution Unit (PDU),
or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The Green Power LED on the
splitter will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power.
4
Connect a monitor to the Output 1 port on the splitter using a
DisplayPort cable.
Note:
See the Optional Accessories listing in this
manual (beneath the Package Contents section) for recommended
cables. When displaying video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 @
60Hz, the distance between the splitter and the monitor must not
exceed 25 ft. (7.6m). When displaying video resolutions from 1920
x 1080 @ 60Hz to 4K UHD, 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz, the distance
between the source and the splitter must not exceed 6 ft. (1.8m).
5
Repeat step 4 to connect a monitor to the Output 2 port on the splitter.
6
Turn on the power to the source and connected monitors. The Orange
port LEDs will illuminate to indicate that a signal is being received and
video will appear on the connected monitors.
7
Use your video cards display settings screen to make adjustments
to the way video is displayed on the connected monitors.
Note:
The
DisplayPort splitter is backward compatible with most DisplayPort
1.1a equipment running current graphics drivers, with the feature
set being limited to that of your equipment (e.g. you may be limited
to displaying in Clone / Mirror mode only). Compatibility with older
graphics cards is not guaranteed.
