LED indicators
This video splitter features LED indicators that can be used
to notify you of the video status. The following table explains
what each LED represents:
LED Status
Power LED Lights when the splitter is connected to a
power source.
Input LED Lights when an active video source is
connected to the HDMI input.
Output LEDs Lights when an active video display is
connected to the designated HDMI output.
EDID switch
When connected, EDID information (such as the resolution and
refresh rate) is shared between the video source and the displays, to
determine which output settings are optimal for the display.
Because this splitter enables you to connect four displays to a single
video source, it’s possible that each display may have dierent
capabilities, which can negatively aect the performance of the
display with lower capabilities.
To ensure optimal support for both displays, this HDMI
splitter features an EDID switch that gives you the option
to use the EDID settings from the display that’s attached
to HDMI Output 1, or emulate generic EDID settings
that are commonly supported by most HDMI displays.
