user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be  
necessary to correct the interference.  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible  
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise  
emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation  
of Industry Canada.

Chapter 2: Overview  
2. Overview  
2.1 Introduction  
The Dual Link DVI Splitter (VSP-DLDVI1X2 or VSP-DLDVI1X4) transmits  
super-high-definition graphics to 2 or 4 different locations without losing  
quality. It can also function as a typical single link 4-port DVI splitter. Use the  
splitter for CAD, post production, broadcast, or control room applications.  
2.2 Features  
• DVI 1.1 compliant.  
• Provides a wide frequency range: up to 300 MHz.  
• Enables EDID learning using a DIP switch.  
• Firmware upgradable via an RS-232 connection.  
• Uses wallmount housing design for easy installation.  
NOTES:  
1. The VSP-DLDVI1X2 and VSP-DLDVI1X4 do not support HDCP.  
2. To correctly display dual link DVI, users must pay attention to the EDID  
content. The graphics card will send video according to the presented EDID.
