Troubleshooting
No signal on any display
Verify the power adapter is connected and the LED indicator is lit. Ensure the HDMI source is powered on and outputting a signal. Check all HDMI cable connections are secure at both ends.
Reduced resolution or flickering image
Ensure the HDMI cables used are certified for HDMI 2.0 and 18Gbps. Try shorter cable lengths. Verify the source and displays support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Test the EDID setting on the splitter.

Confirm both the source device and all connected displays support HDCP 2.2. Ensure the EDID setting on the splitter is correctly configured for your displays. Try a different HDMI cable.
One or more displays show incorrect colors or distorted image
