How to install Gefen Ultra HD 600 MHz 4x1 Switcher for HDMI w/ HDR

• Power down all equipment before making connections to avoid any electrical static or device initialization issues.
• Connect up to four HDMI sources (HDMI 2.0/4K compatible devices) to the four input ports on the switcher using high‑speed HDMI cables rated for 4K60, ensuring secure, fully seated connections.
• Connect a single HDMI display or projector to the switcher’s output port with a quality HDMI cable. Ensure the display is configured for 4K resolution and the appropriate refresh rate that matches the source content.
• Plug the switcher’s power supply into a live outlet and verify the front‑panel or remote indicators indicate power and active input selection. If the device includes a remote, familiarize yourself with the input selection buttons for quick switching.
• If required, configure EDID and CEC settings to match your system’s needs. For most setups, leaving EDID in its default auto‑detect mode provides plug‑and‑play reliability; for unique displays or mixed content, adjust to the preferred resolution and color settings to avoid artifacts or handshake issues.
• Test each input by selecting it on the switcher and confirming that the corresponding source appears on the display with proper color, brightness, and audio (where applicable). If audio is routed through an AV receiver, verify the sound path and ensure it follows the correct HDMI arc or audio return channel configuration.
