SAMPLE CONNECTION DIAGRAM Use the following sample connection diagram as a guide for connecting the Blackbird™ 4K HDBaseT™ 1x4 Splitter Extender with up to four HDBaseT PoC Receivers (not included).
CASCADING In addition to the main unit, you can cascade up to three additional units to distribute the video signal to up to sixteen video displays. Use the following connection diagram as a guide for cascading multiple units. Note that each unit must have a unique ID if using RS232 control.
IR CONTROL You can connect an IR receiver and transmitter to the system to allow for IR control of remote devices. The IR feature is bidirectional, so you can control either the source or display device(s). Use the following sample connection diagrams to connect for IR remote control.
EDID MANAGEMENT The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is used by the source device to match its video resolution with that of the connected display. By default, the source device obtains its EDID from the first connected display. However, since displays with different capabilities can be connected to the splitter, the EDID DIP switches can be used used to set the EDID to a fixed value.
