TROUBLESHOOTING

Should  you  encounter  installation  difficulties  or  issues  with  device  communication,  the  following  checklist  of 

common issues and causes should help resolve your issues If you still continue to experience issues, please 

contact your local representative for further assistance

No or Poor Picture Quality

•  Connected and powered? 

Double  check  all  HDMI,  Ethernet  and  power  cables  are  firmly  connected  into  the 

correct ports and all devices are correctly powered

•  Cable length? Are you approaching the maximum distance of the CAT cable (eg 100m) if so, try adjusting the 

picture resolution/format, or try using an additional extender kit on the HDMI output to go further distance 

Cables bundled together may cause cross-talk and further degrade signal quality

•  Signal strength? The use of cable joins, stranded patch panels, wall outlands and stranded patch leads as 

interconnects between them can significantly reduce signal strength. Use solid core straight through connections 

wherever possible

•  If you reduce the resolution of the source (eg from 4K to 1080p), do you get a picture? If so, this suggests a 

conflicting resolution between source and display or a bandwidth capacity issue with your cable. Check all inputs 

and outputs share the same resolution capabilities

•  The neo:4Pro can support a maximum HDMI input TMDS clock of 340 MHz, which is equivalent to 102 Gbps Any 

video format above this datarate, such as 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 or 4K@60 HDR, is not supported

• 

Picture ‘snow’ / HD ‘noise’ signifies a failure to fully establish a signal and can often be caused by poorly terminated 

RJ45 connectors or excess cable lengths Ensure your cable is correctly wired to 568B standards

• 

Pink or off-colour picture? This could be caused by an invalid EDID or the source device failing to read the EDID 

from the matrix Try re-booting matrix and all source devices to force the re-reading of the EDID

•  Cable quality and condition - HDMI cable/connectors can easily be damaged and the quality of material can vary 

Always use good quality leads and cables and try swapping cables that are known to be working into the solution 

to see if this improves your image

No Sound on Speaker

Make sure that you are wiring the matrix to the amplifier correctly.

If connecting to a stereo amplifier, please ensure that you are using a suitable HDMI (digital) to analog converter 

with downmix (eg P8-HDMIDAC)

EDID Handshake

There may be times you will need to perform an EDID Handshake on your Matrix This is often 

after  a new piece of equipment has been introduced to your setup or any changes have occurred 
To do an EDID Handshake:

Turn off the Matrix and all Sources

2 Turn on all TVs, and make sure these are not set to standby

3 Wait 45 seconds

4 Power on Matrix and wait for x3 Green Lights on the front panel

5 Wait a further 45 seconds

6 Turn on all sources
