5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the maximum resolution supported by this splitter?
A: This splitter supports up to 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz. It is fully compliant with HDMI 2.1 specifications.
Q2: What happens if I connect an 8K source to a 4K TV?
A: This splitter features output downscaling. It will automatically downsample the 8K signal to 4K for that specific TV if the display cannot handle 8K, while still outputting 8K to other compatible displays (subject to EDID settings).
Q3: What is EDID Management and why do I need it?
A: EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is the handshake between your source and TV. If your TVs have different resolutions, the source may default to the lowest one. With 8 built-in EDID modes, you can manually “tell” the source what resolution to output, ensuring all screens get the highest quality signal possible without blackouts or “no signal” errors.
Q4: Do I need a special HDMI cable for this?
A: Yes, to achieve 8K@60Hz, we recommend using High-Speed HDMI 2.1 certified cables with a length of 5 meters or less (for both input and output) to ensure stable signal transmission.
Q5: Can I control the source device (e.g., Blu-ray player) remotely?
A: Yes. This splitter supports an IR extension function. When paired with our HDMI 2.0/2.1 repeater (which has an IR-RX receiver), you can point your remote at the receiver to control the source device located in a different room or cabinet.
Q6: Does this support surround sound?
A: Absolutely. It supports the highest standard audio formats including DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD, and DSD, passing them through directly to your AV receiver or soundbar.
Q7: My monitor doesn’t turn on. What should I check?
A: Ensure the EDID switch is set to the correct mode matching your display’s native resolution. Also, verify that you are using a 5V/3A power adapter (included) and that the total HDMI cable length is within the recommended 5-meter range for 8K.
