CAUTION
HDMI is a very complex technology requiring continuous authentication of the signal and the same
video resolution and audio settings on all electronic equipment in the system. When there are multiple
sources and displays, the video resolution and audio setting on all connected units must be adjusted
to correspond with that of the display having the lowest video and audio capability.

INTRODUCTION
The EV4K7014 is an HDMI splitter that allows one HDMI input to be split and sent to up to ve displays simultaneously.
With four outputs over UTP, and one output over HDMI, the EV4K7014 allows for a local display connected, or to daisy chain
additional units to gain more outputs. The EV4K7014 includes four receivers (EV4K7014-RX) as a kit, which are PoE, which
do not require any power supplies at the display end. Extends 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 with HDR10 and IR control up to 230ft/70m
over a single Cat6 cable. IR accessories are included to allow IR pass through for controlling the source at each UTP display
location. For splitting and distributing one single source to multiple displays, while extending over Cat6, the EV4K7014 is a
great solution for any application with the ability to expand.
*NOTE - All specications and ratings for the EV4K7014 have been tested and conrmed using Cat6 cabling.
Cat6 or better is strongly recommended for optimum performance, achieve rated distance, and to maximize
resolution capabilities of this product. Cat5e is not recommended and may not achieve distance and/or
resolution expectations.

IR PASS-THROUGH
The IR system allows you to control the source that
is connected to the splitter unit, from the display(s).
The IR system also allows you to control the
display(s) from the splitter location (see “To Control
the Displays” section”). Additional IR receivers
(EVIR4K70-RX) and IR blasters (EVIR4K70-TX) are
sold separately.
To Control the Source:
1. Plug the IR blaster into the
IR OUT port of the splitter unit;
place blaster in front of the IR
eye of the source
2. Plug the IR Receiver into the
IR IN Port of the receiver unit;
place receiver at or near display

www.vanco1.com 800.626.6445 11
To Control the Displays:
1. Plug the IR receiver into
the IR IN port of the splitter
unit; place receiver in a location
where it can receive display IR
commands
2. Plug the IR blaster into the
IR OUT port of the receiver unit;
place blaster in front of the IR
eye of the display(s)

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same. If resolutions differ, the
extenders will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of the HDTV with the lowest resolution. This will result in a
picture with a lower resolution on the other HDTV sets.
2. If you do not get audio and video, access the “setup” menu on the TV to adjust the audio and video settings. If the HDMI
control circuit cannot establish a handshake, then there usually will be no audio or video in addition to a blue or black
screen with a statement similar to “this protocol not supported” or “weak signal”.
3. If the above mentioned messages display, reset the receiver by disconnecting the power supply. You can also disconnect
all of the HDMI and power cables, wait 15 minutes for any voltages to decay and then reconnect all of the cables.
4. If you are still encountering issues, attempt the “hot-plug concept. With all of the HDMI cables disconnected, turn on
the source and plug in the HDMI cable into it’s output, then power up the Vanco unit and plug the HDMI cable into it’s
input, nally turn on the display and plug the HDMI cable from the receiver into it. This activates all of the devices in
corresponding order and results in a signal being plugged into a device that is on and will attempt to connect the signal.
5. Most of the major source and display manufacturers employ a proprietary control channel to communicate between
devices from the same manufacturer. Sometimes this can interfere with the HDMI control circuit or the authentication
of the signal. Call the manufacturer if you experience this issue. Sometimes a player, an audio/video receiver, or a cable/
satellite box may not have the latest software update, usually this can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.
