      If there is no output image when switching with your AVGear Matrix Switcher, the possible causes are: * No signal at the input/output connectors. Use an oscilloscope or multimeter to check for a signal. * Failed or loose connection. Make sure the connection is secure. * Input source contains HDCP whilst the HDCP compliance is switched off. Send command /%[Y]/[X]:1 or change the HDCP compliance status in the GUI. * The display doesn’t support the input resolution. Switch to another input source or enable the display to learn the EDID data of the input.

      Lisa NunezAug 13, 2025
      If you cannot control your AVGear Matrix Switcher via the IR remote, the following reasons might be the cause: 1. The battery has run out. Replace the battery. 2. The IR remote is faulty. Send it to authorized dealer for repairing. 3. You are beyond the effective range of the IR signal or not pointing at the IR receiver. Adjust the distance and angle and point right at the IR receiver. 4. The IR receiver connected to IR IN/ IR ALL IN port is not with carrier. Change to an IR receiver with carrier.
