Product Information

Full details

Troubleshooting

No video or audio output on any display

Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the matrix and the source/display devices. Verify that the correct input is selected on the matrix. Check that the source devices and displays are powered on and set to the correct input. Confirm HDMI cable length is within the supported limits for the resolution being used.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering screen

Try using shorter, high-quality HDMI cables. Ensure the HDMI cables are certified for HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2. Adjust the EDID settings on the matrix to match your display's capabilities. Check for potential interference near the cables.

Audio issues (no sound, distorted sound)

Verify the audio output connection from HDMI output #1 (SPDIF or 3.5mm) is correctly connected to your sound system. Check the audio settings on the source device and ensure the selected audio format is supported by both the matrix and the output audio device. Try a different audio cable.

Remote control not working

Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote and the matrix's IR receiver. Replace the AAA batteries in the remote (2x AAA, not supplied). Make sure the matrix unit is powered on.

Display shows incorrect resolution or aspect ratio

Use the EDID switch panel on the matrix to select the appropriate EDID setting that matches your display's native resolution and capabilities. Consult your display's manual for supported resolutions and formats.
