Troubleshooting

No video output to displays

Verify all HDMI cable connections are secure at both the source and display ends. Ensure the correct input is selected on the matrix and the correct output is assigned to the display. Check that the source device is powered on and outputting a signal. Confirm HDMI cable rating supports 4K@60Hz.

Video wall display is not a single continuous image

Ensure the correct video wall layout (e.g., 4x2) has been selected in the device settings. Verify that the displays are connected to the correct 'HDMI Out' ports corresponding to their position in the video wall configuration. Check EDID settings for all displays.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering

Check the quality and length of your HDMI cables; use certified 18Gbps cables. Ensure proper ventilation around the device to prevent overheating. Test with different source devices and displays to isolate the issue.

Device not responding to remote control or LAN commands

Ensure the IR receiver is not obstructed. For LAN control, verify the network cable connection and IP address settings. Consult the manual for default IP addresses and control protocols.
