System Connection

The SY-HD14E-18G can be located anywhere in the HDMI cabling, the following diagram is only an installation example. The larger screens represent 4K displays and the smaller screens represent 1080p displays.

Connecting to the SY-HS14E-18G

1. Connect the HDMI source device to HDMI IN.
2. Connect any required HDMI display devices to HDMI 1 to HDMI 4 connectors.
3. Connect the 12V DC PSU to the 12V input connector.
4.  If needed, set the EDID switches to the desired setting.

Red Power LED
The red front panel power LED will be lit when the splitter is powered.
Blue Signal LEDs
The five blue signal LEDs indicate the presence of the HDMI signal at the respective input and outputs connectors.
Switch Settings

HDCP Setting
Switch position 4 provides management of the HDCP setting:

Output Scaling

When a 4K HDMI signal is provided at the input, but the display can only display 1080p, that output will be automatically downscaled to 1080p to ensure that an image will be displayed. The following table gives the input signal requirements to ensure that the scaling will be successful. Since the scaling is per output, any display that does support the 4K HDMI input signal will always display at the same 4K resolution supplied at the HDMI input connector of the SY-HS14E-18G.

Powering Active HDMI Cables
Each HDMI output is capable of powering active HDMI cables, including Active Optical Cables (AOC).
Up to 500mA of current can be supplied by the 5V pin (pin 18) per output port. This ensures stable and reliable use of Active HDMI cables without any need for external PSU. Care should be taken to ensure that the total current for all outputs as a whole does not exceed 1A.

Troubleshooting

Use of high quality High-Speed HDMI cables are recommended. Maximum HDMI cable length depends on cable quality, the source and the sink capabilities.
The following table lists some of the basic checks that should be performed if no video is displayed:

and the current rating is sufficient to power the system.
·  Check that connection polarity is correct, this product uses a centre positive connection.
IN LED off| No HDMI Input| ·  Check that the HDMI source is outputting an image.
·  Check that the HDMI cables are properly connected.
Output LED off| No HDMI output| ·  Check that the HDMI display is on.
·  Check that correct input is selected on the HDMI sink device (display).
·  Check that the HDMI cables are properly connected.
·  Any unused outputs will always be indicated by its LED being in the OFF state.
