Planning a Distribution System
● Each display should be tested with the source(s) being used to ensure basic
compatibility before connecting them to a distribution amp and/or switcher.
Not all HDMI components and displays are compatible.
● Since all of the displays will be receiving the same video signal resolution and
format from the source, make sure all the displays connected to the 1398D
can accept 2160p resolutions. If a display is limited to 1080p, for example,
either it will not display any image, or the source will reduce its output to
all displays to 1080p, depending on the 1398D settings. You may consider
creating two or three separate distribution systems with different sources
and different output resolutions so that you can adequately demonstrate the
highest resolution HDTV sets.
● Since HDMI connectors can sometimes become loose, mount the switcher
or distribution amplifier to a flat surface and add strain relief tie-downs a few
inches away from every HDMI cable connector.
