1. Introduction
1.1
Introduction to the TL-DA14-F2
The TL-DA14-F2 is an 18Gbps HDMI splitter with four simultaneous outputs.

for 1080p displays.
2: Certain video conversions are not supported:
• 4k60 4:2:2 to 1080p
• Frame rate conversion
• 4k60 4:2:2 to 4k60 4:2:0

3. System Connection
1. Using quality HDMI cables, connect an HDMI source (such as Blu-ray, games
console, satellite/cable TV, media server etc.) to HDMI In of the TL-DA14-F2.
2. Connect the HDMI outputs to HDMI sinks (TVs, projectors, etc).
3. Connect the included 5V power supply to the TL-DA14-F2.
4. Check that the Power, Signal, and Output lights are illuminated to indicate
successful connection.
5. Booyah!
4. Mode Selection
The TL-DA14-F2 has [4] 2-position DIP switches labelled “EDID” on the front panel.
These switches are used to select the EDID* and operating modes. The switches are
labelled 1~4 from left to right, and the switch should be in the down position to be
considered ‘ON’. After changing the switch positions, please power cycle the TL-
DA14-F2 for the new settings to take effect.
*EDID – Extended Display Identification Data is metadata that is passed from the
display to the source in order to ‘request’ compatible video and audio formats from the
source. Since the TL-DA14-F2 may be connecting different types of display, some
manual manipulation may be required in order to successfully reproduce audio and
video at all displays.

8. Troubleshooting & Maintenance
l No image on display:
l Ensure that the display device has been set to the correct input.
l Ensure that the HDMI cables used for both the source/transmitter and the
receiver/display are properly connected and are working. Test the HDMI cables
directly from a source to display and ensure their operation.
l Test with 1080p mode. Set the EDID switches to [Pin2, Pin3, Pin4=↓-↑-↓] and
power-cycle the TL-DA14-F2. The only requirement for video to show will be
that the display must support Full HD (1920x1080@60hz)
l Test with Learning Mode. Set the EDID switches to [Pin2, Pin3, Pin4=↑-↓-↓]
and power-cycle the TL-DA14-F2. This will learn the EDID from Output 1. Be
sure to connect the display with the lowest resolution to Output 1.
If your problem persists after following the above troubleshooting steps, please contact
your authorized reseller or TechLogix technical support.
