Product Information

An HDMI switcher gets around this, adding more ports by letting several devices share the same cable into your TV. You can use an HDMI switcher with two HDMI outputs to send the same HDMI signal to two TVs or a video projector and TV, but you can use an HDMI splitter if you don't need a switcher. and fully compliant with HDCP, so you won’t find yourself running into any issues passing a signal through it. An HDMI Splitter lets you “split” the signal from one media box (a streaming device, a gaming console, a Freeview box, etc.

It’s a bit more expensive than the simple splitters, but you get what you pay for, with more flexibility from a reputable manufacturer.The HDMI splitter from Zettaguard can handle a maximum resolution of 4K at 30Hz and is compatible with Dolby Audio. It is cascaded (8x levels), meaning - it has the ability to further signal splitting from the outputs, if required.

Orei also fared well in our round-up of HDMI Switchers, and here they are again taking the splitter market by storm. First, it’s a switcher with two input ports, so you can connect two media devices (streamer, DVD player, etc’) and switch between them (with a button, or with the supplied remote control). The HDCP is an anti-piracy protection built into HD TVs and cables and is designed to prevent you from stealing the final episode of Homeland or Game of Thrones. HDMI is a digital signal and won't degrade in the same way as older analog signals, even with the addition of a switcher. For example, if you have the Standard Netflix membership, you can only watch up to two streams at once.

Most 4K HDMI Splitters support 30Hz, which is enough for most regular video uses – it means you’ll see up to 30 frames per second. You do pay less, sure, but with so few inputs (on opposite sides again, grrr) and the lack of a remote, this switch is best for smaller systems and small budgets. Distribute a Full HD HDMI signal to 8 displays over standard Cat 6 network cables, complete with HDMI loop and IR support.

HDMI splitters that send two, three, four, or more signals from a single HDMI source are available, but for consumers, two is usually enough. Like most other media and data cables, the video signal on HDMI cables degrades over long distances.

If you have a lot of HDMI-equipped source devices, such as an upscaling DVD/Blu-ray/Ultra HD Blu-ray player, cable/satellite box, media streamer, and game console that all need to be connected to your TV, there may not be enough HDMI inputs, but don't panic.
