The Angustos 1x4 HDMI Splitter allows you to distribute one HDMI signal to four identical UTP outputs synchronously, while also providing one looping HDMI output. It supports transmission distances up to 50 meters over a single Cat5e/6 cable and includes bi-directional IR control.
Device Overview
Front Panel: Features the power switch, power indicator, HDMI input/output indicators, DIP switch for EDID settings, and IR-RX/IR-TX ports.
Rear Panel: Contains the four Cat5e/6 output ports, one HDMI output port, one HDMI input port, and the DC 12V power input.
Connecting and Operating
- Connect your HDMI input source to the HDMI input port on the splitter.
- Connect the splitter to the receiver using a single Cat5e/6 cable. Ensure the cable termination follows the EIA/TIA 568B standard.
- Connect your HDMI display (e.g., HD-LCD or HD-DLP) to the HDMI output of the receiver.
- Connect the Loop HDMI output port of the splitter to an additional HDMI display using an HDMI cable.
- Plug the IR TX and IR RX cables into the respective IR ports on both the splitter and the receiver.
- Connect the DC 12V power supply to both the splitter and the receiver.

Practical help
Common problems
No signal on display
Verify that the Cat5e/6 cable termination follows the EIA/TIA 568B standard and that all connections are secure.
Resolution issues
Adjust the DIP switch settings for EDID to match your display's capabilities.
Distance limitations
Note that maximum transmission distance is 40m for 1920x1200 resolution or 5.1/7.1CH audio, and 50m for 1080p.
Before use
- Ensure Cat5e/6 cables are terminated to EIA/TIA 568B standard
- Verify HDMI source is active
- Check that the power supply is 12V DC
- Confirm display supports the resolution being output
- Ensure IR cables are connected to correct ports (TX/RX)
