HDR and VRR Support

The Ezcap360 supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for both input and loop-through.

Risoluzione dei problemi

No Signal Detected

• Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the input and output ports of the Ezcap360, as well as to your source and display.
• Verify that your video source (e.g., game console) is powered on and actively outputting a video signal.
• Check the Ezcap360's status indicator light; it should be blue when an HDMI signal is successfully connected.
