Rentex No. DADVIDL8 | Mfr No. DP-DL8

The Datapath dL8 is an eight output distribution amplifier for ultra-high resolution Dual Link DVI signals providing a programmable, flexible and low cost solution for any video wall display. When used in conjunction with multiple Datapath x4 wall controllers, the number of supported outputs increases four times per x4. This allows for the creation of large video walls and can display a single input to a video wall with as many as 100+ screens. Input content can be cropped, sliced, rotated to display unique content on any area of the displays.

One dual-link DVI output, supporting graphics sources with pixel clocks up to 330MHz and resolutions beyond Quad-HD (3480 x 2160), can be delivered to eight outputs on separate DVI-D (dual-link) connectors. This Distribution Amplifier supports up to 65 feet even at full dual-link resolutions due to additional active equalization and re-clocking hardware, allowing convenient location for flexible display designs.
