How to install SIIG 1x4 HDMI 2.0a Splitter with Built-in & User Adjustable EDID Management

Follow these straightforward steps to set up your SIIG 1x4 HDMI splitter and begin distributing your HDMI source to four displays:

• Connect your HDMI source device (Blu-ray player, computer, media streamer, or game console) to the HDMI input port on the splitter using a standard HDMI cable.
• Attach up to four HDMI displays to the splitter’s four outputs using HDMI cables. Ensure each display is powered on and set to the correct input channel for HDMI.
• Power up your source device and wait for the handshake. If you encounter any compatibility issues (for example, displays not showing content or audio not routing properly), adjust the EDID settings on the splitter to match the capabilities of your primary display or group of displays.
• Access the EDID management controls (as described in the user manual) to configure resolution, refresh rate, color depth, and audio formats. Start with a conservative setting (for example, 1080p at 60Hz with 8-bit color) and gradually increase to the highest common resolution across all displays.
• Test each output individually to verify that video and audio are synchronized and that the picture quality meets your expectations. If a display exhibits color or scaling issues, tweak the EDID parameters or adjust the source device’s output settings accordingly.
