    • Web UI: For network-enabled models—access via browser to configure routing, EDID, and firmware updates.
  4. Signal Routing Best Practices
    • Keep HDMI cables under 5m for 4K signals (use HDMI extenders for longer distances).
    • Avoid routing HDMI cables near power cables to reduce interference.
    • Use EDID emulation to ensure source devices output the correct resolution (select “4K@60Hz” for modern displays).
    • For multi-display setups, use “clone mode” (same source to all displays) or “independent mode” (different sources to different displays).
  5. Troubleshooting Guide
    • Issue: Black screen on display → Check EDID settings; verify HDCP compliance (some sources block uncertified devices).
    • Issue: Audio dropout → Ensure audio format is supported (Dolby Atmos requires compatible receivers); check cable connections.
