EDID Management

The HD-104 features an EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) switch to manage display compatibility. This switch is located on the front panel:

• STD (Standard): Select this mode for standard EDID settings, which may resolve compatibility issues with older or specific display devices.
• TV: Select this mode to copy the EDID from the display connected to Output 1. This ensures the source device outputs a signal compatible with the primary display. If Output 1 is not connected, the splitter will default to a standard EDID.

It is recommended to set the EDID mode before powering on the source device.

3. Operation

Once connected and powered on, the OREI HD-104 splitter will automatically duplicate the HDMI input signal to all four connected displays. No additional configuration is typically required for basic operation.

LED Indicators

The front panel of the splitter includes LED indicators to show the status of the device:

• Power LED: Illuminates when the device is powered on.
• Input LED: Illuminates when an active HDMI input signal is detected.
• Output 1-4 LEDs: Each LED illuminates when an active HDMI output connection is established with a display.

Important Considerations

• Duplication Only: This device duplicates the input signal. It does not extend your desktop across multiple monitors to create a single, larger display. All connected displays will show the same content.
• No Audio Extraction: The splitter passes through audio signals but does not extract or separate audio from the HDMI stream.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your OREI HD-104 HDMI Splitter, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• No Picture/Signal:
  • Ensure the splitter is powered on and the Power LED is illuminated.
  • Verify all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the splitter and your source/display devices.
  • Try using different HDMI cables, as faulty cables can cause signal loss.
  • Test the source device and display directly without the splitter to confirm they are working correctly.
  • Adjust the EDID switch (STD/TV) on the splitter and restart all devices.
  • Ensure your display devices support the resolution output by your source device.
• Poor Picture Quality/Flickering:
  • Use high-quality HDMI cables, especially for longer runs or higher resolutions (4K).
  • Check for interference from other electronic devices.
  • Ensure the power adapter is providing stable power to the splitter.
• Audio Issues:
  • Confirm that your source device is outputting audio via HDMI.
  • Check audio settings on your source device and display.
  • Ensure the EDID setting is appropriate for your audio setup.
• LED Indicators Not Lighting Up:
  • If the Power LED is off, check the power adapter and outlet.
  • If Input/Output LEDs are off, ensure devices are connected and powered on, and active signals are present.
