6. Turn on the power to the HDMI source, splitter and displays.

Installation

Cascade Installation

The number of connected monitors can be expanded by cascading up to three levels of splitters together. Up to 64 displays can be connected by cascading a B118-004-UHD-2 from each port in a three level installation. It is recommended you use P569-XXX-CERT Series Premium High-Speed HDMI cables.

1. Make sure the power to all the devices you will be connecting is turned off.
2. Connect the HDMI source to the Input port on the first level splitter.
   Note: The length of the HDMI cable connecting the source to the splitter must not exceed 16 ft. (5 m).
3. Connect an available Output port on the first level splitter to the HDMI Input port on a second level splitter.
   Note: The length of the HDMI cable connecting the first and second level splitters must not exceed 10 ft. (3 m).
4. Repeat Step 3 for each additional splitter you wish to add (no more than 3 levels of splitters can be cascaded).
5. Connect an available Output port on your splitter(s) to the display's HDMI Input port.
   Note: The length of the HDMI cable connecting the splitter to the display must not exceed 16 ft. (5 m).
6. Repeat Step 5 for the remaining Output ports in the installation.
7. Connect the included power supply to each splitter in the installation, then plug it into a Surge Protector, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
8. Turn on the power to the HDMI source and displays.

Troubleshooting

If you are unable to attain an acceptable image after following the installation instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below.

1. Is the external power supply that shipped with the product connected and plugged into a working power source? For the product to function properly, it must be connected to and receiving power from the external power supply.
2. Was power to the connected devices turned off prior to installation? If not, restart the devices.
3. What resolution are you trying to attain? UHD 4K x 2K HDMI splitters are tested to support up to 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz video resolution at 36-bit (12 bits per channel) Deep Color.
4. What length HDMI cable are you using? (See the Installation section in this manual for details on the maximum cable distance.) The shorter the cable being used, the higher the resolution you will be able to attain. If you are not able to receive an acceptable image, try using a shorter cable or lowering the source's video resolution or color depth settings.
5. What type of cabling are you using? Inferior cabling can result in poor performance, so it is important to use cables that can support the desired video resolution. It is recommended you use P569-XXX-CERT Series Premium High-Speed HDMI cables, as they have been tested to work with the B118-Series splitters.
6. Test your cables to ensure they are working properly. For example, connect your HDMI cable between a source and a monitor that you know works to determine if the cable is functioning properly.
7. Is the unit located in an area that exposes it to higher temperatures? If the product is overheated, it will not function properly.
8. Does your display support HDCP 2.2? If your display does not support HDCP 2.2, you will not be able to achieve 4K video resolution using a 4K @ 60 Hz Blu-ray™ player. When a 4K @ 60 Hz Blu-ray player is connected to a 4K @ 30Hz monitor that supports an HDCP version lower than 2.2, the video resolution will drop to 1080p.
