Troubleshooting
No signal or flickering image.
Ensure the DC power adapter is securely connected to the repeater and a working power outlet. Verify that both DisplayPort cables are fully seated in their respective ports and are of adequate quality for 4K transmission. Check if the connected display and source device support the desired resolution and refresh rate.
Incorrect resolution or display artifacts.
Confirm that the source device and display support the selected resolution (e.g., 3840x2160@60Hz). Try lowering the resolution to 2560x1600 or a lower refresh rate to see if the issue persists. Ensure the DisplayPort cables are certified for the required bandwidth.
Repeater not powering on.
Verify the DC power adapter is the correct one supplied with the device and is functioning properly. Test the power outlet with another device. Ensure the power connection to the repeater is secure.
Cannot display protected content (HDCP error).
Ensure both the source device, the repeater, and the display all support HDCP 1.4. Check that all cables are in good condition and properly connected. Sometimes, a restart of the source device or display can resolve HDCP handshake issues.
