OREI HDMI Splitter 1 in 2 Out - UltraHD 4K@30Hz, HDCP - Adapter Included

Worked exactly as advertised for me. I have an older but arguably "best picture of any TV" huge Plasma TV and a more efficient small LED TV that we view from different perspectives in the house. Being energy conscious, I only use the Plasma when I watch a movie or special event such as the super bowl. Being a techie and knowing EXACTLY how much current the Plasma unit draws, (I measured it with a wattmeter as I did for all appliances and devices in my house) I do not run the Plasma often. I decided to run another TV as the primary source for evening shows, news, and bizarre showings at 6:00 O'clock and late night. (You know, political news...) However, I only have one cable box with the channels I like to watch. This switch directs the signal to the TV that's on automatically. It also will display both signals simultaneously. The super bowl was my first genuine experience with this splitter, I was watching it from two locations and this splitter did the job, it showed on both sets in high resolution. (I have not tried 4K, don't have this yet.) However, there was a definite delay between the two audio signals. Not sure if this was due to the splitter, the two different types of TV, or the cable box, but it was easily alleviated by turning the small TV volume down.So one may ask, why not just split the RF signal to two TV's by using the built in digital tuning of the TV? A cable signal is a digitally transmitted signal on a carrier and splitting the RF signal reduces the signal strength to both TV's. This may manifest itself as a picture that "breaks up" or freezes periodically, a result of weak digital signals. This requires a more expensive RF amplifier to bring the signal back to the proper level. And, it means the cable channel numbers and the broadcast channel numbers are different, some don't work, and more shortcomings. Splitting the HDMI signal and amplifying it (such as this box does) is generally less prone to this type of interference AND the cable channels all play with the same channel numbers displayed on the cable box. For you more advanced electronics people that understand RF transmission, cheap amplifiers typically have way to much noise figure to do this efficiently and the higher the frequency, the more difficult the design would be, the more expensive they would be. You would also need two cable boxes.I gave this 5 stars because it is built well, looks to be well shielded (EMI stuff) and works.

Perfect, lag free and even the audio is perfectly synced. Exactly what I needed

Nice low cost effective splitter. I have bought a few of these and never had a problem

HDMI Splitter works great, however I had one fail on me after about a year. I did replace it with the same product because it works so well splitting the signal from my Comcast Cable box and connecting it to my TV and to my computer. One "nuisance" though. Sometimes something goes awry and the sound on my TV goes away. Unplugging the splitter from the TV and Computer and unplugging the power supply, plugging it back in restores the sound immediately. It doesn't happen very often, but it does occasionally. I would have given it a 5 star review if the first one hadn't failed after a year or so of use.

After paying over $140/mo. for DirecTV service including NFL Sunday ticket, you can imagine how upsetting it was to receive the dreaded message "TV does not support this program's content protection" when flipping between games and when trying to play back recorded DVR content, usually from CBS. Everything has worked fine for years so why this newly onset error?After several calls to DirecTV support, who were generally as useless as usual, the last tech support agent revealed that the "Networks" had recently upgraded their HDCP protection to deter piracy. "Really?" I LAUGHED. "I assure you it is MUCH easier to pirate programming than pay for it legitimately." Anyone "in the know" understands this. However, I try to be an honest citizen and taxpayer so I wanted to get this working legit.The agent then suggested that I simply place an HDMI splitter in-line on the HDMI cable coming from the DVR. Being in the AV industry for over 15 years, I knew exactly what she was suggesting and it was like I heard harpists as the clouds opened and golden light shone from the heavens. Why didn't I think of this?So basically it works like this... the splitter maintains the HDCP handshake with the DirecTV DVR. Anything on the other side of the split is just a bare signal, no copy protection. So I placed this tiny box on the HDMI cable going out of the DVR and it works great. I have not had a single hiccup or HDCP content warning since. Also, all of my recorded content plays fine. Remember, it needs to be the first device on the output HDMI from the DirecTV DVR.This is a great solution if you are going HDMI to DVI, for example, or maybe using an Audio Video Receiver as your HDMI switcher, or simply do not want to change to component cables for your video as DirecTV would have you believe is an acceptable solution.This little box is tiny, durable, made of metal, and works great. There is no setup or other nonsense, just plug and play. Have not tried it for actually splitting, so can't vouch for that, but as far as fixing the flat-out broken world of BS copy protection that is forced down our throats like a foie gras goose on a daily basis, it works nicely.

Works exactly as expected. I can play the same thing from my 1080p Chromecast on two HD 1080p TV's no problem. Nowy roommate and I can watch movies together while in different rooms, so I don't have to look at him. His face is scary. He looks like one of the bad guys from Wes Cravens movie The Hills Have Eyes.

Easy to install. Easy to use. Works as advertised. I recommend this item if it fits your HDMI viewing need.I'm using this device for television screen mirroring ONLY. This device allows me to set up and drive two television screens with one common source. One television screen is in my breakfast dining room and the other television is outside on my patio. The two televisions' locations are separated only by a wall so it was a simple matter to pass an HDMI cable through the wall to the outside television and drive either or both television screens using my single Over-the-Air TiVo as the driving source. That way, I'm able to share the single TiVo's output and enjoy the various TiVo features such as real time rewind on a live Over the Air broadcast on both televisions simultaneously. This is VERY VERY handy on say a live football game broadcast allowing me to do my own instant replay reviews on either or both televisions........ which is exactly why I bought this handy little device in the first place thus making it perfect for my application needs.

Device worked for about a week and then caused a motherboard hang. After a reboot I was experiencing monitor flashing. I attempted to reboot into bios but flashing was occurring every few seconds and I couldn't check bios for any settings problems. I removed the splitter and the flashing was gone. AI recommended throwing the cheap splitter away and not replacing it as it probably was shorting my 5V supply line interfering with my HDMI and UPS backup USB port monitoring. The UPS had attempted a shutdown and the mother board shut of power but could not reset properly and hung because the 5V supply was in a bad state requiring a power cycle. AI warn that it could cause motherboard 5V PCB traces to overheat and burn preventing any thing requiring 5V to permanently stop working(USB,HDMI...) I didn't want to take chance and bought an inexpensive multiple HDMI PCIE card and cloned with windows to effectively make a HDMI splitter.

I’ve been finding a splitter for my streams since my monitor only has 1 HDMI port and this works amazing! I plugged in my ps 4 into the input and split the output to my monitor + laptop for OBS and it works amazing!!!

Je l'ai acheté afin de pouvoir capturer des images de ma PS3 avec un Elgato Game Capture 4K X, cette dernière ayant une sécurité HDCP, la capture est "impossible" mais ce boîtier fonctionne bel et bien afin de contourner cette sécurité et filmer son écran PS3

I am using to replicate two TV and working fine. No problem in quality of sound and picture. Great product.

ممتاز
