how to install ATEN 2x2 4K HDMI Matrix Switch

• Unpack the device and place it on a sturdy surface or rack. Ensure there is adequate ventilation to prevent overheating during extended use.
• Connect each HDMI source to the two input ports on the switch using high-quality HDMI cables. Use HDMI cables rated for 4K60 or higher to ensure signal integrity.
• Link each display or projector to the corresponding HDMI output ports. Confirm that the displays are powered on and set to the correct input channels.
• Connect the.power supply to the matrix switch and plug it into a reliable power outlet. If your setup requires a rack-mounted configuration, secure the unit using the appropriate mounting hardware.
• Configure EDID as needed. If your content requires a specific resolution or color depth, use the EDID management options to copy or manually set the preferred EDID data to match your displays.
• Operate the unit via the front-panel buttons to switch inputs quickly during a live presentation, or use the included IR remote for convenient, hands-free control from a distance.
• For integrated AV systems, connect the switch to your control system or room controller using the compatible interface (where available) and test each routing configuration to confirm signal integrity on both displays.
• Perform a final quality check: verify 4K60 playback on each HDMI output, test HDR and color accuracy, and confirm that audio (embedded in HDMI) is routed correctly to each display or receiver.
