Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your OREI UHDS-102 HDMI Splitter:

1. Power Off Devices: Ensure all HDMI source devices and displays are powered off before making connections.
2. Connect HDMI Source: Connect an HDMI cable from your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, game console) to the HDMI IN port on the splitter.
3. Connect Displays: Connect HDMI cables from the HDMI OUT 1 and HDMI OUT 2 ports on the splitter to your two display devices (TVs, monitors, projectors).
4. Connect Power: Plug the included 5V DC power adapter into the DC 5V port on the splitter, then plug the adapter into a power outlet.
5. Power On Devices: Power on your display devices first, then power on your HDMI source device.
6. Select EDID Mode: Use the STD/TV switch to select the appropriate EDID mode for your setup. For most setups, the "TV" mode (which copies the EDID from the primary display) is recommended for best compatibility.

Operating Instructions

Once connected, the OREI UHDS-102 HDMI Splitter operates automatically. It will duplicate the signal from your single HDMI input to both connected HDMI outputs.

• Duplicate Output: Both connected displays will show identical content. This splitter does not support extended desktop mode for computers or laptops.
• Resolution and Audio: The splitter will automatically detect and transmit the highest common resolution and audio format supported by both the source and the connected displays. If displays have different capabilities, the output will default to the lowest common denominator to ensure compatibility with both.
• EDID Management: Adjust the STD/TV switch if you encounter display issues or wish to force a specific resolution (e.g., 1080p for older TVs).

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your OREI UHDS-102 HDMI Splitter, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• Ventilation: Ensure the unit is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Do not block any ventilation openings.
• Environment: Avoid exposing the splitter to excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct sunlight.
• Handling: Handle the unit with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts.
• Cable Management: Ensure HDMI cables are not excessively bent or strained, as this can damage the cables or the ports.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your OREI UHDS-102 HDMI Splitter, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

No Picture or Signal

• Check Connections: Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to the correct input and output ports on the splitter and your devices.
• Power: Verify that the power adapter is properly connected to the splitter and a working power outlet. The power indicator light on the splitter should be on.
• HDMI Cable Length: HDMI cables longer than 30 feet may not work reliably, especially with 4K signals. Try shorter, high-quality HDMI 2.0 or higher cables.
• EDID Switch: Try toggling the STD/TV (EDID) switch. If one display is 4K and the other is 1080p, setting the switch to "TV" (which copies the EDID from the primary display) might help, but the output will be limited to the lowest common resolution (e.g., 1080p for both).
• Source/Display Compatibility: Ensure your source device and displays support the resolution and refresh rate you are trying to achieve.
• Reboot System: Power off all devices (source, splitter, displays), disconnect and reconnect all HDMI and power cables, then power on displays first, then the splitter, then the source device.

Picture Flickering or Intermittent Signal

• Cable Quality: Use high-quality, certified HDMI 2.0 or higher cables. Lower quality or damaged cables can cause signal degradation.
• Cable Length: As mentioned, long HDMI cables can cause issues. Try shorter cables if possible.
• Power Supply: Ensure the splitter is receiving stable power. Try a different power outlet.
• Interference: Keep the splitter away from other electronic devices that might cause electromagnetic interference.

No Audio

• Audio Settings: Check the audio settings on your source device and displays to ensure they are configured correctly.
• EDID Mode: The EDID setting can affect audio compatibility. Experiment with the STD/TV switch.
• Splitter Function: This splitter duplicates video and audio. It does not extract audio for separate audio systems.
