Main Features
High Quality Picture - No Signal Loss / Digital Noise Free
PureLink’s Distribution Amplifiers are built to deliver the highest quality picture, preserving the native resolutions of the video sources without any signal loss. At the same time, the digital noise that may affect the picture quality will also be eliminated. Due to the nature of the digital signals and passage through multiple stages of connection when using distribution amplifiers, it is important to eliminate the digital noise and boost the signal strength to preserve and enhance the video signal quality.
Signal Amplification for reliability and long-length signal transmission
PureLink’s 12V power adapter supplies adequate power to amplify the video signals from the video source. This is necessary as the overall length from the video source to the displays is longer when using the distribution amplifiers (distance from the video source to the distribution amplifier + distance from the distribution amplifier to the display). In most cases, the overall distance that the HDMI signal will need to travel is over 10ft. Due to the nature of HDMI signals, amplification is necessary to ensure the video quality and reliability. (Without amplification, there may be occasional blackouts or blinking effects) With this amplification feature, your video display can be extended up to 2300ft using our fiber optic HDMI extenders or cables.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) v1.3
The HD-250 is fully compatible with HDMI version 1.3 and it can also be used for DVI applications by using additional DVI to HDMI coupler or cable.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) Compliant
PureLink’s HDMI distribution amplifiers are fully HDCP compliant. Many video sources such as Blu-ray DVD players and Satellite/Cable Receivers are HDCP encrypted to protect the copyrights of those who created it. For these video sources to be displayed correctly, an HDCP compliant device (e.g., TV, HDMI Switch, Distribution Amplifier, etc.) is required.
Setup / Installation
CABLE INSTALLATION
- Turn off the whole system before connecting any cables
- Connect your video source’s output HDMI cable to HD-250’s input port using a standard HDMI cable.
- Connect the HD-250’s output to your display device(s) input port using a standard HDMI cable.
- Plug the 12V power adapter in to the HD-250
- You may start turning on your system in the following order : HD-250 -> Display -> Video Source.
- Input LED #1,2 and Output LED # 1~5 will be lit if everything is properly installed.

How to program EDID (Extended Display Identification Data)
In EDID programming, there are two different ways of saving the EDID information.
- Save the EDID from an external display device connected onto output #1
- Use our pre-programmed internal EDID library
External EDID programming:
- Select the Input number ( make sure the input LED light is lit )
- Connect your display device to output #1
- Go to the MENU screen and press ENTER button to save your EDID into the HD-250
<- When Input# 1 is selected
When Input# 2 is selected ->
You will see the following error message if the EDID data program failed or there is no EDID data present. You may also want to check the cable connection or monitor’s power supply if an error occurs:

Internal EDID Programming:
- Press MENU button twice or more to find the appropriate EDID data for your application, and then press the ENTER button to confirm the change.
The internal EDID list is as follows:

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Distribution Amplifier does not operate | Make sure the 12V power is plugged in the back of the unit. Check to see if the power LED light is on. |
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| No picture (or signal) Or Poor picture | 1. In case your video source is HDCP enabled, make sure your video display (HDTV) is HDCP compliant. 2. If you are using a copper based HDMI cable, overall length of the cables (length of the cable from video source to switch and length of the cable from switch to display) should not exceed 20ft. Exceeding 20ft. with copper based cables will result in no or poor picture quality. To extend beyond 20ft, please use fiber optic HDMI extension cables such as the Purelink HDX II series 3. Use high quality HDMI cables. 4. If you are using computers, try other refresh rate settings. Most HDTV’s have refresh rate of 48Hz and computer’s video cards are usually set at higher refresh rate. Try lower refresh rates. 5. Make sure all HDMI connectors are tightly secured to all HDMI ports. Loosened screws on the HDMI connectors will result in no or poor picture. 6. Turn off all equipment (video source, switch and HDTV) and restart all equipment. |
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Incorrectly sized picture /resolution or No picture | Please remember that your video source will only transmit one resolution setting. To connect varying resolution displays (1920x1200 resolution display and 1024 x 768 resolution display) the resolution setting of your video source must be set to the lowest resolution setting (1024 x 768). |
