FAQs
Does this splitter support audio?
Yes, the Lindy 2 Port HDMI 4K60 Splitter Cable supports audio pass-through along with the HDMI video signal.
Do I need to connect the USB cable?
Yes, the USB cable provides necessary power to the splitter to ensure stable operation and full performance, especially at higher resolutions like 4K@60Hz.
Can I send different content to each display?
No, this is a splitter, meaning it mirrors the exact same signal from the source device to both connected displays. It does not allow for independent content on each screen.
What is EDID management?
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management allows the splitter to communicate effectively with your displays to ensure the best possible resolution and refresh rate are supported by both devices. The switch helps resolve compatibility issues between different display models.
What is the warranty period?
The Lindy 2 Port HDMI 4K60 Splitter Cable comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
What is the maximum cable length supported?
While the splitter itself has a 0.5m cable, the overall supported length will depend on the quality of the HDMI cables used and the capabilities of the source device. For 4K@60Hz signals, using high-quality HDMI 2.0 certified cables is recommended, and generally, shorter runs are more reliable.
Troubleshooting
No signal on either display
Ensure the USB power cable is securely connected to the splitter and a working USB power source. Verify that the HDMI cables are firmly connected to the source, splitter, and displays. Check that the source device is powered on and outputting an HDMI signal. Try toggling the EDID switch.
Only one display shows a signal
Check the HDMI cable connected to the display that is not working. Ensure the EDID switch is set to a compatible mode for both displays. Try swapping the display connections to see if the issue follows the cable or the port.
Poor video quality or flickering
Ensure you are using certified HDMI 2.0 cables that support the required bandwidth. Try a shorter HDMI cable for testing. Verify that the source device and displays are set to compatible resolutions and refresh rates. Ensure the USB power supply is adequate.
HDCP error message
This may indicate an incompatibility with the content protection. Ensure all devices in the chain (source, splitter, displays) support HDCP 2.2. Try a different HDMI cable or restart the source device. The EDID management switch might need adjustment.
