1 .0 INTRODUCTION

The DVI-5314c is a high performance digital repeater with one (1) DVI input and 
four (4) independent, re-clocked DVI outputs.  All inputs and outputs are HDMI v1.3 
compatible, enabling full interoperability with both DVI and HDMI sources and 
displays.  This unit accepts a single DVI or HDMI input signal, which is de-serialized, 
buffered and then applied to independent DVI / HDMI compatible transmitters at 
each output.  This re-clocking process ensures a substantial reduction in jitter, 
which results in crisp, stable images.  The DVI-5314c also includes a 1x4 audio 
distribution amplifier for both analog stereo audio and S/PDIF digital audio signals.  
This unit supports a full array of DVI and HDMI v1.3 features, making it a perfect 
solution for high quality digital signal distribution in professional systems.

Our professional digital distribution products have been serving the industry for 
over ten (10) years.  DVIGear offers a full line of high quality Digital Matrix Routers, 
Switchers, Splitters, Video Scalers, Up/Down/Cross Converters, Format 
Converters and Analog-Digital Converters, as well as a wide range of long-reach 
Digital Cables, Extenders, and Optical Transmission systems.
