3.0 Checking Package Contents
Before attempting to use this unit, please check the packaging and make certain the following items are contained in the shipping carton:
- 1351 DVI-I HDCP Compliant Repeater
- AC Power Adapter
- User Manual
Note: Please retain the original packing material should the need ever arise to return the unit. If you find any items are missing, contact Audio Authority immediately. Have the Model Number, Serial Number and Invoice available for reference when you call.
4.0 Connecting The Hardware
Please study the panel drawings below and become familiar with the signal input, output and power input.
Panel Description: The unit features a DVI input port labeled 'DVI In', a DVI output port labeled 'DVI Out', and a DC power input jack. The front panel has a Power On LED indicator.
5.0 Operating The Unit
- Turn off DVI Source and the DVI capable monitor.
- Connect a DVI extension cable between the DVI Source and the 'DVI In' port of repeater (6 feet long or less).
- Connect a DVI extension cable between the monitor and the 'DVI out' port of repeater (no longer than 40 feet).
- Connect the DC power cord from the AC Adapter to the unit and plug the AC adapter into an active AC outlet.
- Turn on the DVI Source and DVI capable monitor.
6.0 Troubleshooting
If the repeater does not appear to be functioning, make certain that both the DVI source and DVI capable monitor are functioning correctly by connecting the DVI source directly to the monitor using a cable with a length of 6 feet or less. If the signal is present, make certain that the Power On LED is lighted on the 1351. If it is, measure the cable length you are attempting to use between the source to the repeater and the repeater to the monitor. The cable from the source to the repeater should be 6 foot long or less and the cable to the monitor must be no longer than 40 feet. Note that you must use high quality 24 gauge cables to achieve the distance specified. Lastly, inspect the cables and connectors for damage.
6.1 Complex Configurations
Due to the nature of High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, and the many types of information that must be passed along the chain of devices, complex configurations involving DVI repeaters, distribution amps and switchers may not work as expected. Do not use a DVI switcher in the signal path after a distribution amp; this configuration does not work. If the problem still persists after trying the above suggestions, contact the Audio Authority Technical Service department via email: support@audioauthority.com, or call 800/322-8346 or 859/233-4599.
