Thanks for choosing the HDMI 2.0 1x2 Splitter, which can distribute one HDMI input to
two outputs. The splitter supports HDMI video resolution up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, 1080P
3D, and multichannel audio formats. Besides passing EDID information from the
display, there are multiple built-in EDID settings can be selected by the 4-pin DIP
switch on the front panel. Moreover, the splitter supports convenient firmware upgrade
through Micro-USB port.

DIP Switch Operation
EDID Management
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is used by the source device to
match its video resolution with the connected display. By default, the source device
obtains its EDID from the first connected display. Meanwhile, since the displays with
different capabilities are connected to the splitter, the DIP switch on the front panel can
be used to set the EDID to a fixed value to ensure the compatibility in video resolution.
The switch represents “0” when in the lower (OFF) position, and it represents “1” while
putting the switch in the upper (ON) position.
Switch 1~3 are used for EDID setting. The DIP switch status and its corresponding

Firmware Upgrade
Please follow the below steps to upgrade firmware by the Micro-USB port:
1) Connect the splitter to the PC with USB cable.
2) Power on the splitter, and then the PC will automatically detect a U-disk named of
“BOOTDISK”.
3) Double-click to open the U-disk, a file named of “READY.TXT” will be showed.
4) Copy the latest upgrade file (.bin) to the “BOOTDISK” U-disk directly.
5) If the filename “READY.TXT” automatically turns to “SUCCESS.TXT”, the firmware
was upgraded successfully. If the firmware upgrade failed, please check the file
(.bin) and then follow the above procedure to operate again.
6) Remove the USB cable after firmware upgrade.
