Standard Installation
1. Connect up to four HDMI sources and up to two HDMI
displays to the B118-2X4-4K-A using high-speed HDMI
cables, such as Tripp Lite’s P569-Series (sold separately).
2. Attach a digital receiver or amplifier to either the Toslink
(optical) or digital coaxial port. If you have an analog receiver
or amplifier, connect it using the RCA “R” and “L” ports.
3. Power the unit by plugging in the included international power
supply to the 5V / 1A port. Press the Power button located on
the front panel to turn on the unit. By default, HDMI In 1 is
set to HDMI Out 1 and HDMI In 2 to HDMI Out 2.
4. Switch between all four HDMI input sources on the HDMI
Out 1 (or 2) display by pressing Switch A (or B). The
corresponding In 1, In 2, In 3, In 4 LEDs will illuminate to the
chosen source.
5. The auto extraction will follow the source for HDMI Out 1.
For example, if HDMI Output A shows LED In3 illuminated
and HDMI Output B shows LED In2 illuminated, the audio
extraction will come from HDMI Input source 3 (In3).
6. Instead of pushing the buttons on the front of the unit, the
included remote control can be used to switch between the
HDMI input sources, power the unit off and on and mute the
sound. See following page for individual button functions.
