CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 1X4 HDMI SPLITTER
EDID MODES
How to Connect the 1X4 HDMI Splitter
Connect the HDMI source to the 1X4 HDMI Splitter using the supplied HDMI cable.1.
Connect the displays (up to four) to the 1X4 HDMI Splitter using user supplied 2.
HDMI cables.
Plug the 5VDC power supply into the Xantech Switcher and power outlet.3.
NOTE: Display information (EDID) is sent from the display connected to HDMI output
port 1 to the source. If there is no display connected to HDMI output port 1, the
remaining HDMI output ports will be scanned in succession and use the fi rst EDID that
it detects. The source will output resolutions and timings according to the EDID that is being
fed by the display connected to output port 1. Therefore, all of the connected displays must
be capable of accepting the timings and resolution output by the source. It is recommended
that the display with the lowest native resolution be connected to HDMI output port 1. This
is to ensure that a compatible video signal will be able to be displayed on all connected
monitors. Optionally, you can use a generic 1080i EDID that is pre-stored on the 1X4 HDMI
Splitter. Please see the below section on how to use this EDID instead of using the EDID
from display output 1.
The 1X4 HDMI Splitter has an EDID button which will determine if the EDID is used
from the display attached to output 1 (Ext. mode) or if the onboard EDID (Int. mode) will
be used.
The current EDID mode can be determined by which EDID mode LED is active on the
front panel. The Ext LED will indicate that the external EDID (from output port 1) is be-
ing used, and the Int LED will indicate that the internal pre-programmed EDID is being
used.
If you want to use the onboard EDID, press the EDID button on the rear panel and
then press the reset button to activate the new EDID mode. To revert back to using
the external EDID, press the EDID button again and then reset the unit using the reset
button to activate the new EDID mode.
