4.Quick Start Guide

4.1 TV Wall / Multi-Room / Sports Bar Application

• Set the HDMI™ Splitter in Detection Mode A.

• Blue-ray DVD player set to AUTO video (resolution / color

deep) an audio detection.

• Connect all HDTVs to the HDMI™ Splitter; please check
Figure 1 for your reference.

• Connect the power adaptor to the HDMI™ Splitter and
turn on the power switcher.

If the Blu-ray DVD doesn’t support auto detection, please:

• Set the output signal of the Blu-ray DVD player to match
with the lower standard HDTV to ensure all HDTVs can
display same images. In case of gure 1, it will be HDTV
2 (4K2K).

• OR set the HDMI™ Splitter in Detection Mode B, and set
the output signal of the Blu-ray DVD player to 1080p/
8-bit. Connect the HDTV 2 (4K2K) to port 1.

3D Application

• Please make sure your Blu-ray player and all the HDTVs
can support the same 3D format.

• Under Mode A, if there is any of HDTVs cannot support
either 3D application or the same 3D format, all oft
he HDTVs will be displayed in 2D. If the supporting 3D
format of the Blu-ray player cannot be compliant with
one or some of the 3D HDTVs, the incompatible 3D TVs
would not be able to correctly show the 3D image.

4.2 Home Theater Application

• Set the HDMI™ Splitter in Detection Mode B.

• Blu-ray DVD player set to AUTO video (resolution / color

deep) and audio detection.

• Connect the Home Theater Receiver, Projector, and HDTV
to the HDMI™ Splitter; please check Figure 2 or Figure
3 for reference.

• Connect the power adaptor to the HDMI™ Splitter and
turn on the power switcher.

• Blu-ray DVDs disc may support different audio format
(PCM; Bit Stream: Dolby, DTS ... etc.), please set the Blu­ray DVD player to the correct audio format setting or set
it to auto detection. Please follow the user‘s manual of
your Blu-ray DVD player to change the output setting.

3D Application

• Please be sure your Blu-ray player and all the HDTVs can
suppot the same 3D video format

• Under Mode B, the device connected to output port 1
(TV, projector, amplier, etc.) will be the primary device
for output standard.

• If the device connected to output port 1 equipped with
3D function, the Blu-ray player also supports 3D, then
3D format will be selected as output format.

5

• If the source connected to output port 1 is a 2D device,
the 2D format will be used for all the outputs.

• When 3D HDTV or projector is used with a Home Theater
Receiver, the Home Theater Receiver needs to support
3D format as well, otherwise the Home Theater Receiver
would have no audio output. In this case, please change
the play mode from 3D to 2D.

Note

The connection illustrations are for reference only. Users
may change the connection.

5.Detection mode selection

• HDMI™ connections require the EDID and HDCP informa­tion of source and sink devices for successful communi­cations.

• Please check if the source devices (ex. Blu-ray DVD Player)
support auto detection and auto adjustment of resolu­tion, color deep and audio format.

• The HDMI™ Splitter is designed with 2 detection modes.
Users can choose an appropriate detection mode before
starting to connect and operate the HDMI™ Splitter.

• The mode selection switch is located at the rear panel of
the Splitter box.

• The original mode setting is mode A.

• Please make sure all the source and display devices (TV,

Blu-ray player, projector) support the same 4K2K 3D
format while choosing mode A for play.

Mode A (Highest Common Factor Mode)

Auto Detection, Lower Standard First

• It is recommended to use Mode A for TV wall application,
sports bar application, or other application when different
standard (resolution, color deep) HDTVs are connected
together.

• Source device supports Auto Detection and Auto Adjust­ment. (Please make sure the auto functions are active.)

• The HDMI™ Splitter will compare the EDID information of
each sink device (HDTV). A lower standard sink device will
be set as the primary sink device to communicate with
the source device.

• For example, 8 HDTVs are connected to the HDMI™ Splitter
with a Blu-ray DVD player, which supports auto resolution
/ color deep detection and auto output signal adjustment.
One of the 8 HDTVs supports resolution in 1080p and color
deep in 8-bit, six support resolution in 4K2K and color deep
in 8-bit, another HDTV supports resolution in1080p and
color deep in 12-bit. The HDTV that has lower resolution
and color deep will be set as the primary HDTV. And the
Blu-ray DVD player will automatically deliver 1080p/8-bit
signal to all connected HDTVs. (Figure 4) If all the connect

­ed devices support 3D format, the system will automatically
take 3D play mode as a prior option.

• When a new HDTV is connected to the system or the
connection is changed, the Splitter will detect the EDID of
the newly connected HDTV.

• If the newly connected HDTV supports lower standard in
resolution or color deep, the source device will adjust the
output signal to match the HDTV. The picture on every
HDTV will disappear for a few seconds. If the new HDTV
supports higher standard, the picture quality on every
HDTV will not change.

• Source device DOES NOT support Auto Detection an Auto
Adjustment. The source device will send the signal as the
setting of source device. Please set the output resolution
of the source device rst, and make sure the resolution
can be displayed on all connected display devices.
For example, 8 HDTVs are connected to the HDMI™
Splitter which is connected with a Blu-ray DVD player
which DOES NOT supports HDTV resolution / color deep
auto detection and auto output signal adjustment; one
of the HDTV supports resolution in 1080p and color deep
in 8-bit, six oft he HDTVs support resolution in 4K2K and
color deep in 8-bit, another HDTVs supports resolution in
1080p and color deep in 12-bit. (Figure 5)
In order to have all HDTVs working, please set the output
resolution to 1080p and set the color deep to 8-bit; oth­erwise some HDTVs will not show picture. Also, if the 3D
Blu-ray player was set 3D mode for play at rst, the HDTV
or projector without supporting 3D play function would
not be able to show 3D content appropriately.

Mode B (Priority Mode)

Output Port Detection Sequence, First Detect First Out

• The detection priority is from port 1 to port 8.

• It is recommended to connect lower standard HDTV to port

1 to make sure all connected HDTV can display same image.

• Users can assign one sink device (HDTV, Home Theater
Receiver or Projector) as the primary sink device by
connecting it to port 1.

• Source device supports Auto Detection and Auto Adjust­ment. (Please make sure the auto functions are active.)
Sink device that connects to port 1 will be the primary
sink device. The source device will set the output signal
based on the primary sink device.

• Source device DOES NOT support Auto Detection and
Auto Adjustment. Please set the output resolution and
color deep of the source device rst, and make sure
the resolution and color deep can be displayed on all
connected display devices.
For example, if you set the output resolution and color
deep of the Blu-ray DVD player to 1080p and 8-bit,
please make sure all the HDTVs can display 4K2K (resolu­tion/color deep). If any connected display device can not
support 4K2K (resolution/color), this HDTV will not show
pictures. (Figure 6)
