5. Operating Instructions

The JCHICI HDMI Splitter features three EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) modes to ensure compatibility and optimal performance across various display setups. Use the EDID Button on the front panel to cycle through these modes.

• AUTO Mode: The splitter automatically detects the resolution of all connected displays and outputs the lowest common resolution and audio format possible. This ensures signal compatibility with all devices.
• COPY Mode: The input device will output a signal according to the resolution and audio format of HDMI Output 1. If other output displays have a lower resolution than HDMI Output 1, the refresh rate will be automatically lowered to accommodate, while maintaining the audio format, HDR, and Deep Color settings.
• SCALER Mode (Downscale): Converts 4K@60Hz signals to 1080p for Full HD displays. 4K-compatible displays can continue to display 4K content. This mode is ideal for mixed 4K and 1080p setups.
