Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the 4 Port HDMI 2.0 18G Splitter with Audio. This product has been designed to
provide trouble free, reliable operation. It benefits from both a LINDY 2 year warranty and free lifetime
technical support. To ensure correct use, please read this manual carefully and retain it for future
reference.

This splitter is a multi-function solution for distributing high quality HDMI signals across 4 displays
simultaneously from one source device, while extracting digital or analogue audio separately. The splitter
also features an integrated switch to downscale the input signal to Full HD, making installations with older
displays hassle free while always ensuring the viewer receives the optimum picture from their display.
