<p>I was able to get only one 4k camera signal into my KMU-100,to get 4 HD outputs.
The issue am facing right now is,
How do i get my two 4K cameras working on the KMU-100?</p>

<p>Because,the format i used for section A, is the same format i do apply to section B.</p>

The KMU-100 supports two distinct input channels or one input being sent to both channels.  When you say that you are applying the format from section (channel) A to section (channel) B, do you mean that you are choosing Channel A as the input for Channel B?

Are both cameras the same and/or outputting the same format?  What physical connections are you going in to on the back of the KMU-100?  What are your settings for the channel inputs in DV Link?

The DataVideo KMU-100 produces 4 1080p feeds (or 1 4k and 3 1080p feeds) from each input and has 2 different inputs. It is possible to link the input on Signal Input A with the input to Signal Input B, but in this case, the connections for Signal Input B will not be used and the signal from Signal Input A will be sent to both splitters to make 8 1080p feeds.

You will want to make sure each camera is plugged in appropriately on the back. There are 3 possible ways to plug your camera in to each bank.
