How to get 4K HDR when splitting

I bought this along with one of several $15 USB 2.0 capture cards (also from Revain) as a video capture solution for my PS4. The capture card works well as advertised, but this review is for a splitter that doesn't fit. The instruction manual is exactly what you see on the Revain listing which is not very clear on how to use this device. The problem that many people have is that they cannot output 4K60 HDR as advertised. In my case the splitter does output 4K60 HDR from my PS4 Pro to my TV (LG CX) BUT only under certain circumstances. This can be checked on the LG CX by quickly pressing the green button on the remote control several times to bring up the FreeSync information screen. After some time of troubleshooting, I found that the only way to reliably stream a 4K60 HDR signal to a TV is to turn on all devices in the following order: 1. A main display showing 4K60 HDR content can, so you can see what you see.2. Source. Make sure HDR content is currently displayed.3. Secondary Display/Capture Card It is VERY important that the source is HDR capable before connecting a second display. In this case I would turn on the TV, then the PS4 and make sure I'm showing HDR content, and finally connect the capture card to the computer. I haven't tried dual TVs since I don't have two TVs, but I assume you'll either need to turn the second display on last, or turn that display off completely until the other two steps are complete. And if both of your displays support 4K60 HDR, please leave a review to confirm if it works. Of course, this splitter only features HDMI 2.0, meaning any device from 2020 that uses HDMI 2.1 will be limited to 4K60 HDR. UPDATE: The seller contacted me regarding the item. Although I couldn't get the product to work the way I wanted, the customer service has been fantastic.
