1.3 Getting the Best Results
There are many factors affecting the quality of results when distributing HDMI
type signals. Some basic precautions will ensure the best possible performance
from your AVT-6114 1x4 HDMI v1.3 Splitter.
Output display device – The quality of the output signal will depend
largely upon the type and quality of the HDMI display device used.
For instance, some video projectors just look better than others.
Distance between the switcher, the sources and the display – This
plays a major role in the final result. Long distances are possible, but
special measures should be taken in order to avoid cable losses.
These include using high quality cables. Line amplifiers may also be
necessary for the longest runs.
Input/Output connection cables – Low quality cables are susceptible
to interference. They degrade signal quality due to poor matching and
can cause elevated noise levels. Cables should be of the best quality.
Interference from nearby electrical devices – These can have an
adverse effect on signal quality. For example, an older computer
monitor often emits very high electromagnetic fields that can interfere
with the performance of video equipment in its proximity.

4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE
Connect the HDMI Video Source to the input of the AVT-6114 Splitter, connect
its outputs to HDMI Compliant monitors –– or other HDMI compliant devices ––
and then connect the AC to DC Power Adapter. The drawings below show the
location of the status LEDs, input, outputs and power connector.

4.1 Connecting the Input to the AVT-6114
You can connect any HDMI device’s output to the AVT-6114’s input. Make
certain that the HDMI cable is securely plugged into the source device as well as
the AVT-6114. Always use a high quality cable, as short a length as possible, for
best results.
4.2 Connecting the AVT-6114 to Displays
Using high quality HDMI cables connect the outputs of the AVT-6114 to a total of
four (4) HDMI compliant display devices. Use the shortest cable run possible.
4.3 Connecting Power to the AVT-6114
The AVT-6114 is shipped with a Power Adapter to convert 100~240VAC@50-
60Hz to 5VDC. Connect the DC Output Cable from the Power Adapter to the
back of the unit and then plug the Power Adapter into an AC Receptacle. (The
Power Adapter DC plug has a TV One/AV Toolbox exclusive locking feature that
prevents it from inadvertently coming loose. Insert the DC plug from the AC
Adapter into the AVT-6114’s DC connector and turn it 90 degrees to lock it in
position. If removal is ever required, reverse the process by first turning the plug
90 degrees and then removing it from the AVT-6114.) The AVT-6114 will begin to
function as soon as AC power is supplied to the AC adapter.
5.0 OPERATING THE AVT-6114
The AVT-6114 1x4 HDMI Splitter requires no operator intervention. If both the
input and the outputs are HDMI compliant, the Splitter will function as soon as
power is supplied. LED displays indicate which output is active and a Power LED
indicates when the unit is receiving power.
6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
In the event of problems, first make certain that the input and output cables are
no more than 65 feet long (combined length, input and output cables) and are of
the highest possible quality. Next, make certain that the Splitter is receiving
power.
If all is well in these areas, remember that HDMI devices communicate with one
another so the source device and destination devices must be fully HDMI
capable. In addition, HDCP encryption requires additional processing which also
is dependent on the equipment you have connected to the source and
destination devices. If you experience problems using the AVT-6114 HDMI
Splitter, you should attempt to determine what is wrong by attaching the source
device directly to each destination device using the same cables you are using
with the expanded system. This is a way of determining if the problem is due to

6
bad cables or a problem with the other devices. If you are unable to obtain a
signal using this simplified path, suspect the cables, the source device or the
destination device(s).
After trying the above suggestions should the problem still persist, contact your
dealer for additional suggestions before contacting TV One. Should the dealer’s
technical personnel be unable to assist you, contact TV One via our support
website: http://tvone.crmdesk.com. Create a technical support request on the
site and our support team will respond within a short period of time.
