1. Introduction
1.1
The TL-DA14-F2 is an 18Gbps HDMI splitter with four simultaneous outputs.
Compatible with HDMI 2.0a & HDCP 2.2/1.4 sources and devices, the TL-DA14-HD2
supports video resolutions up to 8k30 (4:2:0 8bit).

4k and 1080p displays in the same installation. Advanced EDID management puts
you in control of what resolution the source will output.
Notes:
1: HDR content can pass through the TL-DA14-F2 but cannot be processed to properly
for 1080p displays.
2: Certain video conversions are not supported:
• 4k60 4:2:2 to 1080p
• Frame rate conversion
• 4k60 4:2:2 to 4k60 4:2:0

console, satellite/cable TV, media server etc.) to HDMI In of the TL-DA14-F2.
2. Connect the HDMI outputs to HDMI sinks (TVs, projectors, etc).
3. Connect the included 5V power supply to the TL-DA14-F2.
4. Check that the Power, Signal, and Output lights are illuminated to indicate
successful connection.
5. Booyah!
4. Mode Selection
The TL-DA14-F2 has [4] 2-position DIP switches labelled “EDID” on the front panel.
These switches are used to select the EDID* and operating modes. The switches are
labelled 1~4 from left to right, and the switch should be in the down position to be
considered ‘ON’. After changing the switch positions, please power cycle the TLDA14-F2 for the new settings to take effect.
*EDID – Extended Display Identification Data is metadata that is passed from the
display to the source in order to ‘request’ compatible video and audio formats from the
source. Since the TL-DA14-F2 may be connecting different types of display, some
manual manipulation may be required in order to successfully reproduce audio and
video at all displays.

8. Troubleshooting & Maintenance
l No image on display:
l Ensure that the display device has been set to the correct input.
l Ensure that the HDMI cables used for both the source/transmitter and the
receiver/display are properly connected and are working. Test the HDMI cables
directly from a source to display and ensure their operation.
l Test with 1080p mode. Set the EDID switches to [Pin2, Pin3, Pin4=↓-↑-↓] and
power-cycle the TL-DA14-F2. The only requirement for video to show will be
that the display must support Full HD (1920x1080@60hz)
l Test with Learning Mode. Set the EDID switches to [Pin2, Pin3, Pin4=↑-↓-↓]
and power-cycle the TL-DA14-F2. This will learn the EDID from Output 1. Be
sure to connect the display with the lowest resolution to Output 1.
