6. Mode d'emploi

Once all connections are made and devices are powered on, the HDMI splitter will automatically detect the input signal and distribute it to all connected output displays. No additional configuration is typically required for basic operation.

6.1 Gestion EDID

The splitter features EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management to ensure compatibility between the source and various displays. The device will typically read the EDID from the lowest numbered output port (Output 1) and apply it to the source. If there are compatibility issues, ensure that the primary display connected to Output 1 supports the desired resolution and features.

6.2 Contrôle RS232

The RS232 port allows for external control of the splitter by a control system. This feature is typically used in professional installations for integrated system management. Refer to the RS232 command set documentation (usually provided separately or available from the manufacturer) for detailed control protocols.

7. Entretien

• Gardez l'appareil propre en l'essuyant avec un chiffon doux et sec.
• Évitez d’utiliser des produits chimiques agressifs ou des nettoyants abrasifs.
• Ensure the device is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent dust accumulation and overheating.
• Vérifiez régulièrement les connexions des câbles pour vous assurer qu'elles sont bien fixées.

8. Dépannage

8.1 No Picture on Display

• Vérifiez l'alimentation : Ensure the splitter and all connected devices are powered on.
• Vérifiez les câbles : Verify that all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the splitter and the displays/source. Try replacing cables if necessary.
• Sélection des entrées/sorties : Confirm that the correct HDMI input is selected on your display devices.
• Compatibilité de résolution : Ensure your source device's output resolution is supported by all connected displays. The splitter will attempt to match the EDID of the first connected display.
• Redémarrez les appareils : Power cycle the source, splitter, and displays in sequence (displays first, then splitter, then source).

8.2 Signal intermittent

• Qualité du câble : Use high-quality HDMI 2.0 certified cables, especially for 4K60Hz signals and longer distances.
• Longueur du câble : Excessive cable length can cause signal degradation. Consider using shorter cables or active HDMI cables if issues persist.
• Alimentation: Vérifiez que l'adaptateur secteur fournit une alimentation stable au répartiteur.

8.3 EDID Issues

• If a display is not showing the correct resolution or features, try connecting a display with the desired capabilities to Output 1.
• Some advanced splitters may have EDID modes; consult specific product documentation if available.
