EDID Management
To learn EDID from output 1:

- Set the EDID dip switch (pin 3 and 4) to the down position.
- Power on the device.
- The device will learn EDID from output 1.
Note: Always power cycle the device after changing EDID dip switch settings.
Downscaling and HDR to SDR
The splitter supports 4K to 1080p downscaling. You can configure this per output using the Downscale Dip Switches. Note that 720p and 480p monitors are not supported. If the input source is 4K@60Hz, it will only output 1080p@60Hz for 30Hz monitors.
The HDR to SDR conversion function is available on Output 4 only. It activates automatically when the source signal has HDR content, but the connected display does not support HDR.
AVR Mode
AVR mode supports additional audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master, One Bit Audio, DVD-Audio, and LPCM. Note that only EDID learning mode can support Dolby Vision and Atmos simultaneously.
