Troubleshooting
When you troubleshoot issues with a video splitter, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
-
Video cables
-
Video switch
-
Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)
-
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
Note: When you are testing setup components, you should avoid using video adapters. For example, if you are converting a VGA source to HDMI for use with an HDMI switch, you should use an HDMI source when you test the components.
To test your setup components, try the following:
-
Use the cable, video switch, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
-
Use a different cable, video switch, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
-
Test each cable individually.
-
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
-
Remove the video switch from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video switch.
-
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, switch, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
Before You Buy

Great Product
We bought this Switch to replace our more expensive one we had. Turns out that this works great, right out of the box. It's way smaller than the one we had and it's a Great Price.
It switches automatically as well as manually. It's got a small switch where you can set it on how you want it to switch.
Very Disappointed
We bought 6 of these for the conference rooms and seems like the 3 that we installed have issues. On Mac computers (tested on 2 different 15" retinas) sometimes when you plug into the HDMI the screen has a green transparent overlay (occurs about half the time).
On all machines it seems we have about an 80% success rate meaning that 20% of the time you need to power cycle the device to get it to work. Very disappointed and looking for a more commercial solution.
This would be fine if it were for my house. I love the size and the features but it is not acceptable for a conference room.
Dependable
I am glad to have purchased this item. It is dependable and the ordering process was easy and fast.
