Daisy Chain Issue
Q: How do I set up the daisy chain with other upscalers such as RetroTink 5X, MiSTer, and mClassic?
A: The right order should be Game Console > other dongle > HDMI extender > 4K Gamer Pro > HDMI 2.0a / HDMI 2.1 cable > 4K TV
Q: Why does the screen show black for the daisy chain with other upscalers?
A: In most cases, some 4K Monitors or 4K TVs identified the input signal as 1440p.
- Solution 1: Adjust the preference on your monitor or TV. Ex, turn off deep color on LG TV.
- Solution 2: If you can get 1440p resolution by connecting those dongles without 4KGP, then you need to add an EDID adapter between other upscalers and 4KGP to limit the resolution from 1440p to 1080p.
Q: Can 4KGP be compatible with RetroTink 5X?
A: Yes
