One extender can drive 2, 4 or 8 DVI‑D displays depending on the model (DVI‑E2, DVI‑E4, DVI‑E8).
Connect the extender’s DVI output to the monitor, power the unit, turn on the monitor, then press the “DDC COPY” button; the power LED will flash three times and stay on while the EDID is copied.
A standard CAT‑5 cable is used to connect the extender’s RJ‑45 port to the DVI‑R unit.
The DVI‑R model requires a DC 5 V 1 A power supply.
