In the event of problems, first make certain that the input and output cables are
connected securely and are of the highest quality possible.
Note:
Use of low quality cables can seriously degrade the performance of this product. To
ensure optimal performance and maximum cable distance, use premium quality cables such
as DVIGear’s Super High Resolution (SHR™) Series or equivalent.
Next, check the Power LED to make certain that the splitter is receiving power. It
should be fully illuminated and not flickering or going on and off intermittently. An
intermittent Power LED may indicate a problem with the AC Power Adapter or that
the voltage applied to the AC Power Adapter input is too low.
If the input signal is HDCP encrypted, check to ensure that the connected
display(s) or other output device(s) are HDCP compatible. Also check to ensure
that the source device supports HDCP Repeater functionality.
Note:
For troubleshooting HDCP links, it can be very helpful to have a test generator that
can turn HDCP On and Off manually. DVIGear’s DVI-7050a HDMI Test Generator is a good
solution for this requirement.
Some Blu-ray players and DVD players will provide non-HDCP encrypted content briefly
on power-up (e.g. splash screen). Also many DVDs and Blu-ray players intentionally do not
use HDCP encryption on the previews that precede the main feature; this can provide a
helpful indication when diagnosing HDCP related problems.
