Question: Can it put up only two windows instead of four
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
The Splitmux-C5HDR-4LC would not be ideal for two sources. The unit supports three different multiviewer modes: 4 sources of the same size on one display, 4 sources where one is bigger and 3 are smaller, and a KVM mode with one display - the multiviewer becomes a switchable KVM in this setup.
NTI does offer a multiviewer that would work for your two display setup though - The SPLITMUX-HD-4RT supports the above mentioned configurations but also supports custom configurations such as 2- and 3- source viewing and customizable position and size of each of the attached displays
Also here is a page with most of our Audio / Video multiviewers listed out for reference.
If you would like a recommendation based on the specifics your setup, please feel free to contact your KVM Switches Online sales representative directly at 1-877-586-6654, at sales@kvm-switches-online.com, or via our online Chat functionality.
Question: For the remote extender unit, does it have to be same unit OR is there a smaller unit for remote extension purpose?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. The local unit is 9.84" x 4.65" x 1.26". The included remote unit is smaller at 4.02" x 2.60" x 1.02". Unfortunately, we are not familiar with a smaller unit for the extender component.
Question: Is this unit HDCP ready?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
The NTI SPLITMUX-C5HDR-4LC does not support HDCP. That being said, most HDMI devices do I.e. the SmartAVI SM-HDMV-PLUS; For a recommendation based on your application, please feel free to contact your KVM Switches Online sales representative directly.
Question: I am looking for a quad split device that accepts HDMI inputs, has HDMI outputs, and can superimpose a user-configurable label on each output. Does the SPLITMUX-C5HDR-4LC allow the labeling of each output? Thanks
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
The basic SPLITMUX-C5HDR-4LC is not capable of superimposing labels. NTI does however offer a higher quality version of that model (the NTI SPLITMUX-4K-4RT) which offers more advanced features such as custom labeling, and 4K Ultra-HD resolution. Please refer to the following image below to see the labeling in-action:

Question: How do I Independently Switch Audio?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
Independent audio switching can only be done in Quad Mode. When in Quad Mode, users can switch between the active audio channel by selecting the desired channel via the front panel buttons or IR remote control.
E.g. if input 1 is currently selected and its audio is playing, press input 3 on the front panel or IR remote control to have input 3's audio playing instead. The quad mode visual does not change.
Note: When in Full Screen or Picture in Picture (PiP) mode, selecting an input via the front panel buttons or IR remote control will result in both audio and video (main image for PiP) changing to the selected input.

Question: Can I remove the blue outlines on each quadrant in four screen mode?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
As of March 1st, 2019, NTI is currently working on adding this feature to the control program; According to the technical team, it "should be available in a software update soon".
Please let us know if there is anything else we can ever help you with!
