1.General
When you receive it, it contains 2 accessories in total：

2.Introduction
Indicator lights:
- LP-power indicator light
- L1-main PC signal light
- L2-2nd PC signal light
- L3-mainPC and 2ndPC switch signal light
- L4-overlay signal light
Button:
- K1-switch mainPC and 2ndPC screens (short press)
- K2-switch overlay status (short press) adjust the cutout intensity (long press)
Interface：
- Type-C：The Type-C interface is the firmware flash port of FuserMINI, which is used to update the firmware of FuserMINI.
- OUT: Connect to the main display and display the image processed by FuserMINI on the main display
- IN1: Connect to 2ndPC and input the screen of 2ndPC into FuserMINI
- IN2: Connect to mainPC and input the screen of mainPC into FuserMINI
3.Installation
Step 1: Ensure that both your 1PC and 2PC are powered on.
Step 2: Connect the DC 12V power supply.
Note: If you press the red Power button at this time without plugging in any other video cables, the LP red light will turn on and the L3 and L4 blue lights will flash. This is normal indicator light behavior.
Step 3: Install the HDMI cables.
- Connect the OUT interface to your main monitor.
- Connect the IN1 interface to your 2nd PC.
- Connect the IN2 interface to your main PC.
Note: For the first installation and use, to better ensure the FuserMINI is working properly, please disconnect the cables between your two computers and any other monitors, as well as between your main monitor and other devices before installation. Ensure that during the first use, the video cables of your two computers and main monitor are connected only to the FuserMINI.
Step 4: After installing the FuserMINI, press the POWER button to turn it on. You will see the LP red light stay on, and the L1, L2, L3, and L4 blue lights stay on. At this time, your main monitor should display normally, and the brand and model of the monitor displayed in your main PC’s system should match your main monitor.
4.How to use
- In the display settings of both your PCs, set their resolution and refresh rate to the same parameters, such as 1K240 or 2K144.
- You can use the K1 button to switch between the screens of the different PCs on your main monitor.
- After setting the desired parameters, briefly press the K2 button to enable overlay mode. This will allow you to see the combined display effect, which will depend on the current screen of your second PC.
- Note: The principle of the Fuser is to replace the black areas in the input from IN1 with a transparent layer. If there are no black areas in the IN1 input, its display will overlay the IN2 input. Therefore, all the content you see will be from the IN1 input.

6.Troubleshooting
Why is my screen not turning on even though all cables are connected?
- Indicator: LP steady red, L3 and L4 blinking blue.
- Solution: Check if the main display’s power is connected. Ensure the OUT port is connected to the main display. (The issue likely lies with the main display.)
Why is my screen not turning on even though all cables are connected?
- Indicator: LP steady red, L1 and L2 steady green, L3 blinking, L4 off.
- Solution: Use remote control software (AnyDesk) to connect to the 2nd PC and set its resolution to match your main display’s resolution. Set the refresh rate to 60 Hz, then check if the main display is functioning properly. Gradually increase the refresh rate (1K: 60-120-144-240 Hz, 2K: 60-120-144 Hz).
Why is my screen not turning on even though all cables are connected?
- Note: My 2nd PC has an AMD integrated or discrete graphics card.
- Solution: Use remote control software (AnyDesk) to connect to the 2nd PC, then set the image quality to 8-bit in the AMD graphics driver settings.
