Installation

Notes:

• The maximum distances referenced in these instructions have been tested at a UHD 4K x 2K video resolution of 3840 x 2160 @ 24 Hz and 30 Hz with 36-bit (12 bits per channel) Deep Color using 28 AWG (0.08 mm2) HDMI cables. Longer distances between the splitter and connected monitors are achievable using 24 AWG (0.2 mm2) HDMI cables.
• When connecting monitors that support different maximum resolutions, the video resolution displayed will be limited to the lowest maximum resolution. For example, if connecting a combination of 1080p and 4K x 2K monitors, a 1080p video resolution will be displayed on all screens.

1. Make sure the power to all devices you will be connecting is turned off.

2. Connect the HDMI source to the Input port on the splitter.
   Note: The length of the HDMI cable connecting the source to the splitter must not exceed 16.4 ft. (5 m).

3. Connect an available Output port on the splitter to the HDMI input port of your display.
   Note: The length of the HDMI cable connecting the splitter to the display must not exceed 23 ft. (7 m).

4. Repeat step 3 for the remaining Output ports on the splitter.

5. Connect the included power supply to the splitter, then plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Power Distribution Unit (PDU), or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

6. Turn on the power to the HDMI source, splitter and displays.

Cascade Installation

The number of connected monitors can be expanded by cascading up to three levels of splitters together. Up to 512 displays can be connected by cascading a B118-008-UHD from each port in a three-level installation. It is recommended you use Tripp Lite’s P569-XXX-CERT Series Premium High-Speed HDMI cables.

1. Make sure the power to all the devices you will be connecting is turned off.

2. Connect the HDMI source to the Input port on the first-level splitter.
   Note: The length of the HDMI cable connecting the source to the splitter must not exceed 16 ft. (5 m).

3. Connect an available Output port on the first-level splitter to the HDMI Input port on a second-level splitter.
   Note: The length of the HDMI cable connecting the first and second level splitters must not exceed 10 ft. (3 m).

4. Repeat Step 3 for each additional splitter you wish to add (no more than three levels of splitters can be cascaded).

5. Connect an available Output port on your splitter(s) to the display’s HDMI Input port.
   Note: The length of the HDMI cable connecting the splitter to the display must not exceed 16 ft. (5 m).

6. Repeat Step 5 for the remaining Output ports in the installation.

7. Connect the included power supply to each splitter in the installation, then plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

8. Turn on the power to the HDMI source and displays.

Troubleshooting

If you are unable to obtain an acceptable image after following the installation instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below:

1. Press the reset button on the splitter
   to reset the signal being sent to the connected displays.
   Note: The B118-002-UHD and B118-002-UHDINT do not include a reset button.

2. Is the external power supply that came with the product connected and plugged into a working power source?
   For the product to function properly, it must be connected to and receiving power from the external power supply.

3. Was the power to the connected devices turned off prior to installation?
   If not, restart them.

4. What resolution are you trying to obtain?
   Tripp Lite’s UHD 4K x 2K HDMI splitters are tested to support video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 @ 24 Hz and 30 Hz, at 36-bit Deep Color (12 bits per channel).

5. What HDMI cable length are you using?
   (See the Installation section in this manual for details on the maximum cable distance). The shorter the cable being used, the higher the resolution you will be able to obtain. If you are not able to receive an acceptable image, try using a shorter cable, or lowering your source’s video resolution or color depth settings.

6. What type of cabling are you using? Inferior cabling can result in poor performance, so it is important you use cables that can support the video resolution you are trying to obtain. It is recommended you use Tripp Lite’s P568-Series High Speed HDMI cables, as they have been tested to work with the B118-Series splitters.

7. Test your cables to ensure they are working properly.
   For example, connect your HDMI cable between a source and monitor that you know works to see if the cable is functioning.

8. Is the unit located in an area that exposes it to higher temperatures?
   If the product is overheated, it will not function properly.

9. Are you connecting monitors that have different maximum resolutions?
   When doing so, the video resolution displayed will be that of the lowest maximum resolution supported among the connected monitors. For example, when connecting 1080p and 4K x 2K monitors, 1080p video will display.
