How to install Gefen Ultra HD 600 MHz 1:4 Splitter for HDMI w/ HDR

• Begin by ensuring all displays and the HDMI source are powered off. Use high‑quality, high‑speed HDMI cables rated for 18 Gbps or higher to preserve 4K60 performance.
• Connect the HDMI source to the splitter’s single input port using a verified HDMI cable. Confirm the source is capable of delivering 4K60 HDR content if you intend to maximize the splitter’s capabilities.
• Attach each display to one of the four HDMI outputs on the splitter with individual HDMI cables. Keep cables tidy and avoid tight angles to minimize signal interference.
• Plug the splitter into a powered outlet using the provided external power supply. Ensuring stable power helps maintain consistent signal distribution across all outputs.
• Power on the source and all displays. If any display fails to show content, use the EDID management features or adjust the resolution on the source to a compatible setting recognized by the connected displays. For complex setups, test one display first and gradually add additional displays to verify synchronization and image quality.

Frequently asked questions

What resolutions does this splitter support?

The Gefen Ultra HD 600 MHz 1:4 Splitter supports up to 4K at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma and HDR capabilities where both the source and displays are compatible. For non‑4K displays, it downscales to the appropriate resolution supported by the connected devices.

Is HDR supported on all outputs?

HDR support is provided for content that is HDR‑ready and for displays capable of rendering HDR. The splitter passes HDR metadata to all four outputs, provided the connected displays support HDR10 (and compatible HDR formats).

Do I need an external power supply?

Yes. An external power supply is typically required to ensure stable distribution across four outputs, especially when driving 4K60 video with HDR at longer cable lengths.

Will all four displays show the same content?

Yes. This is a 1x4 HDMI splitter, so all four outputs mirror the same source signal. If independent content is required on each screen, a matrix switch or multi‑viewer would be the appropriate solution.

Is HDCP 2.2 supported across all outputs?

Yes. The splitter is designed to pass through HDCP 2.2 protection to all connected displays, ensuring compatibility with protected 4K content from compatible sources.

Are there any installation considerations for long cable runs?

For longer cable runs, use certified high‑speed HDMI cables and place the splitter in a location with adequate ventilation. The 600 MHz specification helps maintain signal integrity across multiple outputs, but cable quality and length will still influence performance.
