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. 23-08-361-933663.indb 523-08-361-933663.indb 5 10/18/2024 3:04:01 PM10/18/2024 3:04:01 PM6 Warranty 1-Year Limited Warranty We warrant our products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of initial purchase.
