How to install StarTech.com HDMI Splitter

Installing the HDMI Splitter is a straightforward process designed for quick, reliable setup in busy environments. Follow these steps to achieve optimal results and maintain a clean, professional installation.

• Step 1 — Prepare the source and displays: Ensure your HDMI source and all displays are powered off before making connections. Gather high-quality HDMI cables long enough to reach from the source to the splitter input and from each splitter output to its respective display.
• Step 2 — Connect the input: Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI source (such as a Blu-ray player, PC, or media player) to the single input port on the splitter. Confirm the source is configured to output a compatible resolution (ideally 1080p for best results with four displays).
• Step 3 — Connect the outputs: Run four separate HDMI cables from the splitter’s four output ports to the corresponding HDMI inputs on your four displays. Align the cable lengths to minimize slack and keep the installation tidy.
• Step 4 — Mount the unit: If you’re using the included mounting brackets, attach them to the splitter and secure the device in your chosen mounting location—on a wall, inside a rack, or on a desktop stand. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup during operation.
• Step 5 — Power and test: If the model requires external power, connect the power supply and plug it into a suitable outlet. Power on the displays and source, then verify that all four displays mirror the source signal. If any display shows no signal, check cabling, input/output assignments, and resolution compatibility across devices.
