Full details
The Lindy HDMI 4x1 Multi-View Switch is designed for professionals who need to monitor multiple Full HD video sources on a single display simultaneously. Its key benefit is the ability to integrate up to four different sources with flexible viewing configurations, including seamless switching to prevent frame loss.

Troubleshooting
No video signal on the output display
Verify all HDMI connections are secure at both the switch and source/display devices. Ensure the source devices are powered on and outputting a signal. Check that the correct input source and viewing mode are selected on the switch. Try a different HDMI cable.
Screen flickers or shows distorted video
Ensure HDMI cables are not exceeding the 15-meter maximum operating distance. Try using shorter, higher-quality HDMI cables. Verify that source devices are outputting supported resolutions (up to 1920x1080).
Audio is not working or out of sync
Confirm that the audio source is selected correctly, especially if using independent audio switching. Check that the connected display or audio system supports PCM audio format. Ensure all audio settings on source devices are correctly configured.
Remote control is not responding
Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote control and the IR receiver on the front panel of the switch. Replace the battery in the remote control. Use the front panel buttons as an alternative.
Cannot display specific content (e.g., protected streams)
This is likely due to HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). The output of this switch always has HDCP enabled, which may prevent playback of copy-protected content on non-compliant displays or through certain capture devices. This is a limitation of the HDCP standard itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect your four Full HD source devices (e.g., PCs, laptops, media players) to the HDMI inputs (Video in 1-4) using standard HDMI cables. Connect your display device (monitor, projector) to the HDMI output (Video out) using another HDMI cable. Connect the included 12V/2A AC adapter to power the switch. Once connected, use the remote control or front panel buttons to select your desired viewing mode and input source.
Compatibility: This switch supports Full HD 1080p resolutions on inputs and outputs. It is compatible with devices outputting 720p and 1080p video modes and supports PCM audio formats. The output is HDCP 1.3a compliant. For optimal signal integrity, ensure your HDMI cables do not exceed the maximum recommended operating distance of 15 meters.
Care: Keep the switch in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating; operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C. Avoid exposing the device to moisture or extreme temperatures. Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the AC adapter is properly connected and secured. Software or firmware updates are not applicable as this is a hardware-based solution.
