Cable quality is critical when handling 600 MHz HDMI signals. We highly
recommend 10-foot or shorter Gefen Locking HDMI cables. They have been
designed and tested to work at 600 MHz and reliably transport the the full 18.2
Gbps throughput of HDMI 2.0.
The 1:2 Scaler ships with its EDID Selector set to “0”, which is 4K 600 MHz video with
2-Channel audio support. Please see the Manual before selecting other EDIDs via
this switch. Selecting the External/Custom EDID mode when the sink/display has
multichannel support may cause momentary noise in the analog L/R audio output.
To prevent this from happening, disable multichannel audio on the source or select
one of the built-in EDIDs that only supports 2 channels of audio.
In order for the Upscale function to work, the 1080p video input has to be 8-bit
color. 10 and 12-bit color will only pass through as long as the Up-scaler is disabled.
The information in this manual has been carefully checked and is believed to be
accurate. However, Gefen assumes no responsibility for any inaccuracies that may
be contained in this manual. In no event will Gefen be liable for direct, indirect,
special, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from any defect or omission
in this manual, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
