Got some very interesting results with this 4x4 matrix.

PS3 > 4x4 > Morph - this works PS3 > 4x4 > RT4K - works for 15 seconds, but then video becomes blocky, loses audio, and RT4K has a copy protection message
 +
PS3 > 8x1 > 4x4 > Morph - also works PS3 > 8x1 > 4x4 > RT4K - 15 seconds and then copy protection again
 +
PS3 > 8x1 > 4x4 > Morph > 1x2 > TV (has video & audio) & Elgato 4K (recorded - no audio, had to resize for discord)

@GabeShack - Well, looks like this 4x4 is not as great as I hoped. My original intention was to use it for sending Morph & RT4K to different HDMI ports on my TV along with my Elgato 4K Pro. Spent most of yesterday and all of today testing it alongside my new Tesmart 16x1 4K@60 switch. 16x1 > Morph or RT4K > TV - works fine for just about every use case I threw at it (aside from PS1D FXD and DV1) 16x1 > Morph or RT4K > 4x4 > TV or Elgato 4K Pro - has issues The 4x4 allows for EDID customization with 4 tiny switches in the rear, but every 4K@60 EDID choice gave me poor audio results with the RT4K (especially using NSwitch) and had video/audio drops with the Elgato 4K Pro when capturing either RT4k or Morph. There was one EDID setting that worked okay with Morph, but when I checked the capture footage, it was missing different pieces of audio and some video. The 4x4 said it supports CEC, which I couldn't get to work. It also gets extremely hot to the touch. I was expecting the 16x1 to roast, but the surface feels cool after a couple hours of use. Anyways, I'm gonna return the 4x4 and look into another option.

Hey, another update about the OREI 4x4. I figured out some of the problems. With Elgato 4K Pro capture, it was due to the HDMI 2.1 cable (standard 30 ft). I got an HDMI 2.0b fiber optic cable and that did the trick, for Morph at least. Morph does experience random sync drops in unstable firmware (⁠morph4k-support⁠3.9.1: frequent dropouts on min…), yet video output to the TV and Elgato 4K Pro was fine 99% of the time and this was with the 4x4's EDID dip set to 1010 [4K2K60_444, Dolby/DTS 5.1 HDR]. For the RT4K - Mine was still on the 1.4.7 firmware, which had audio problems in general and required a custom EDID file. I upgraded to 1.5.4 firmware and that took care of it. Then after adjusting the 4x4's EDID, I determined RT4K is most stable when the EDID dip is set to 1011 [4K2K60_444, HD Audio 7.1 HDR], and this is because RT4K can passthrough 7.1 ch (mentioned in the discord). Both video and audio to the TV was stable. However, Elgato 4K Pro capture still comes out horrendous (has audio, but broken video signal and sync drops). TL;DR: OREI 4x4 is a decent option to send both Morph and RT4K to the TV (Morph or RT4K > 4x4 > TV). However, the EDID dip must be set differently depending on which 4K scaler is used (5.1 vs 7.1 ch, respectively). Capture card support is iffy (OREI website confirmed capture cards are not supported, but Elgato 4K Pro was able to capture Morph just fine).

My 1x2 splitter isn't sold on Amazon anymore, yet the EZCOO is exactly the same and is MLiG approved.
