5. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to connect your MT-ViKI HDMI Splitter:
- Power Off Devices: Ensure all HDMI source devices (e.g., computer, PS4) and display devices (e.g., monitor, TV) are powered off before making connections.
- Connect HDMI Input: Connect one end of an HDMI cable (not included) to the HDMI output port of your source device. Connect the other end of this HDMI cable to the "HDMI IN" port on the MT-ViKI HDMI Splitter.
- Connect HDMI Outputs: Connect HDMI cables from the "OUTPUT 1", "OUTPUT 2", "OUTPUT 3", and "OUTPUT 4" ports on the MT-ViKI HDMI Splitter to the HDMI input ports of your display devices (monitors, TVs, projectors).
- Connect Power Adapter: Plug the included AC power adapter into the "DC 5V" port on the HDMI Splitter. Then, plug the power adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The power indicator light on the splitter should illuminate.
- Power On Devices: Power on your display devices first, then power on your HDMI source device. The splitter will automatically detect the signal and distribute it to all connected displays.

6. Operating Instructions
Once the setup is complete, the MT-ViKI HDMI Splitter operates automatically:
- Automatic Signal Distribution: The splitter will automatically detect the HDMI signal from your source device and duplicate it to all four connected output displays.
- Mirror Mode: The splitter functions in mirror mode, meaning the same content will be displayed on all connected monitors. It does not support extended desktop mode.
- Resolution Matching: For optimal display, ensure that all connected output devices support the resolution being sent by the source device. If a display does not support the resolution, it may not show an image or may display a lower resolution.
- Cascade Connection: For applications requiring more than four displays, multiple MT-ViKI HDMI Splitters can be cascaded. Connect an output from one splitter to the input of another splitter. This allows for a larger distribution network.
- Long Distance Transmission: The splitter supports long distance transmission up to 100ft (15m input + 15m output) for lossless signal quality.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your HDMI splitter, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- No Display on Output Monitors:
- Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the splitter and a working power outlet. Check if the power indicator light on the splitter is on.
- Verify that all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the input and output ports. Try re-seating the cables.
- Check if the input and output devices are powered on and functioning correctly.
- Confirm that the input/output devices support the resolution being transmitted. If the source is 4K, ensure all displays are 4K compatible.
- Try connecting the HDMI source directly to one of the displays to confirm the source and display are working independently.
- If the power light is blinking red, it may indicate an issue. Disconnect and reconnect the power.
- Flickering or Unstable Picture:
- Ensure you are using high-quality HDMI cables, especially for longer runs.
- Check for any interference from other electronic devices.
- Reduce the length of HDMI cables if possible.
- Audio Issues (No Sound or Distorted Sound):
- Verify that the audio settings on your source device are correctly configured.
- Ensure your display devices' audio is not muted or set to a very low volume.
- Check HDMI cable connections.
- "No Signal" or "Input Not Supported" Message:
- This often indicates a resolution incompatibility. Adjust the resolution of your source device to a lower setting that all displays can support.
- Ensure the HDMI input on your display is selected correctly.
8. Maintenance
