Product Information

Manual Switching with a Remote: You still have to switch between the connected input ports manually, but at least you don’t have to get up from the sofa, as you have an IR remote that controls the switcher. For those who already own a GPU, you can split your video output into two HDMI-equipped monitors using a converter.

While switching between three devices is enough for some – these days, needing to switch between 5 different HDMI devices isn’t that far-fetched. It doesn’t require an external power supply and works well with power from the HDMI devices, and it even comes with a gold-plated HDMI cable. Thus an HDMI splitter will transmit to all available channels while an HDMI switch will only transmit to one.However, even that will probably be too far for the top picture quality – especially if you’re planning to stream 4K video. Most HDMI switchers have three ports, which should be enough for most (as the TV itself – if it’s a modern one – will have two or three ports as well). Next, we have this Tekholy HDMI Splitter, which can be converted to an HDMI switch with just the push of a button. And to top it all, it has an S/PDIF port, if you want to connect it to a digital audio device (and bypass the HDMI audio). If you are looking for a high-quality splitter you should look out for advanced features such as support for 3D video and 4K resolution.

This process is ideal for people who own desktops and has the advantage of also splitting the audio signal between two HDMI displays.

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (or HDCP) is a copyright protection mechanism built into all modern HDMI-based video devices. The technology encrypts the signal that comes out of your media device, with your telly decrypting it on the other side. An HDMI Splitter lets you “split” the signal from one media box (a streaming device, a gaming console, a Freeview box, etc. If you have more than two screens that you want to duplicate the signal to, you’ll obviously need more than two output ports. This means the two HDMI ports on one side can serve as either Input or Output, and the same goes for the single HDMI port on the other side.

Make sure that your HDMI switcher is compatible if you are routing the output of the switcher through a home theater receiver that provides decoding for advanced audio formats, such as Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS:X.You can explore various splitters from this brand, including the 1 x 2 splitter and the 1 x 4 splitter, in addition to its popular HDMI switches. This allows for an HDMI signal to be split multiple times with some splitters having as many as eight outputs. Connect a single high definition HDMI source to two displays at the same time • Support for 4K Ultra-HD, 1080p Full-HD, 3D and up to 36-bit deep colour video formats • Support for DTS/DTS-HD, Dolby AC3/TrueHD and DSD (HBR) audio formats • No power neede. Orei also fared well in our round-up of HDMI Switchers, and here they are again taking the splitter market by storm.

Remember, as always, that the splitter simply duplicates the input signal, so both screens will show the same gaming console output – but it’s useful if you want people in the other room to watch you play, for example. After establishing a verified connection, HDCP encrypts the signal to prevent unauthorized recording of the content.If you're looking for a thoughtfully designed HDMI switcher with a premium look and feel, the Zettaguard 4K is worth some consideration. If you’ve bought bad HDMI splitter before, then this highly recommended Orei product will work for you. High performance splitter that distributes a 4K HDMI source to two identical HDMI displays at the same time. What this means overall is that if you weaken the strength of an analog signal, there will be a weakening of the resulting output. So if you’re planning to split one source into two screens – one in your living room and one in your bedroom – you should first consider how far that bedroom is.
