1.3 Getting the Best Results

There are many factors affecting the quality of results when distributing HDMI type signals. Some basic precautions will ensure the best possible performance from your AVT-6114 1x4 HDMI v1.3 Splitter.

 Output display device – The quality of the output signal will depend largely upon the type and quality of the HDMI display device used.

For instance, some video projectors just look better than others.

 Distance between the switcher, the sources and the display – This plays a major role in the final result. Long distances are possible, but special measures should be taken in order to avoid cable losses.

These include using high quality cables. Line amplifiers may also be necessary for the longest runs.

 Input/Output connection cables – Low quality cables are susceptible to interference. They degrade signal quality due to poor matching and can cause elevated noise levels. Cables should be of the best quality.

 Interference from nearby electrical devices – These can have an adverse effect on signal quality. For example, an older computer monitor often emits very high electromagnetic fields that can interfere with the performance of video equipment in its proximity.

4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE

Connect the HDMI Video Source to the input of the AVT-6114 Splitter, connect its outputs to HDMI Compliant monitors –– or other HDMI compliant devices –– and then connect the AC to DC Power Adapter. The drawings below show the location of the status LEDs, input, outputs and power connector.

4.1

Connecting the Input to the AVT-6114

You can connect any HDMI device’s output to the AVT-6114’s input. Make certain that the HDMI cable is securely plugged into the source device as well as the AVT-6114. Always use a high quality cable, as short a length as possible, for best results.

4.2

Connecting the AVT-6114 to Displays

Using high quality HDMI cables connect the outputs of the AVT-6114 to a total of four (4) HDMI compliant display devices. Use the shortest cable run possible.

4.3

Connecting Power to the AVT-6114

The AVT-6114 is shipped with a Power Adapter to convert 100~240VAC@50-

60Hz to 5VDC. Connect the DC Output Cable from the Power Adapter to the back of the unit and then plug the Power Adapter into an AC Receptacle. (The

Power Adapter DC plug has a TV One/AV Toolbox exclusive locking feature that prevents it from inadvertently coming loose. Insert the DC plug from the AC

Adapter into the AVT-6114’s DC connector and turn it 90 degrees to lock it in position. If removal is ever required, reverse the process by first turning the plug

90 degrees and then removing it from the AVT-6114.) The AVT-6114 will begin to function as soon as AC power is supplied to the AC adapter.

OPERATING THE AVT-6114

The AVT-6114 1x4 HDMI Splitter requires no operator intervention. If both the input and the outputs are HDMI compliant, the Splitter will function as soon as power is supplied. LED displays indicate which output is active and a Power LED indicates when the unit is receiving power.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

In the event of problems, first make certain that the input and output cables are no more t han 65 feet long (combined length, input and output ca bles) and are of the highest possible quality. Next, make certain that the Splitter is receiving power.

If all is well in these areas, remembe r that HDMI devices communicate with one another so the source device and destination devices must be fully HDMI capable. In addition, HDCP encryption requires additional processing which also is dependent on the equipment you have connected to the source and destination devices. If you experience problems using the AVT-6114 HDMI

Splitter, you should att empt t o determine what is wrong by attaching the source device directly to each destination device using the same cables you are using with the expanded sys tem. This is a way of determining if the problem is due to

5

bad cables or a problem with the other devices. If you are unable to obtain a signal using this simplified path, suspect the cables, the source device or the destination device(s).

After trying th e above suggestions sh ould the problem still persist, contact your dealer for additional suggestions before contacting TV One. Should the dealer’s technical personnel be unable to assist you, contact TV One via our support website: http://tvone.crmdesk.com. Create a technical support request on the site and our support team will respond within a short period of time.
