I have a receiver with only one HDMI out. Currently it is set to my projector for the big screen. I would like to run a second TV when I have company over. My question is will this allow me to run both when I want them and only 1 when I choose to do...

"It distributes the HDMI input into two identical outputs,these two outputs are synchronized." What ever shows up on the projector will show up on the TV. If you only want one you will either have to turn off the TV or Projector, or unplug the HDMI cord going to one or the other.

Yes, it can output the same signal to both outputs. I can have my TV and my projector show the same input at the same time in HD. Is very simple, Just select the same input # for both outputs (1-1, 2-2, 3-3 or 4-4)

Hi, I don't have an answer for your question. I only use 1 input to 2 separate outputs (Tv and projector). Sorry.

I am using it on two TVs. My HDMI cable comes out from the DVD player into the splitter box. From the box I have two HMDI cable which go to separate TVs. It works great for me. I have also used it to stream from my laptop with no problem.

The unit supports two computers switching to a single output, a projector in my case and allows you to toggle back and forth via the remote. It monitors the ports for active output devices before it will switch the port on. I have never tried this setup but connecting a monitor to the input will not trigger the unit to enable that port so I don't think it will work.

If you want both devices to be able to use the HDMI port on the TV, you need an HDMI switch not a HDMI splitter. A splitter provides the same signal to two different receivers. A switch will take two different HDMI sources or transmitters and make either available from one or the other to a receiver (the TV in your case). Hence, this splitter will not work for you.

This is a HDMI Splitter... Meaning you take the output of one device (like a Satellite Receiver) and then split that signal to multiple TV's. If you TV only has 2 HDMI inputs and you need another one, why not consider using the Component Inputs on the TV, it will give you a good HD picture... Hope this helps...

This device is meant to share 1 HDMI signal onto 2 screens. (However, it doesn't do it very well. I recommend you get the powered version like this one: Etekcity 1x2 HDMI Splitter / 2 Port Audio Video Amplifier HDCP Ver 1.3 Support 3D 1080P PS3 Xbox DVD Blu-ray )

If you mean watch the same thing on both tv's at the same time, than no, This will not work for you. If you want one input to go to both tv's so you can switch between the 2 tv's, then Yes.For instance. I could hook up my ps3 into this, and have one HDMI go to my TV, and the other HDMI to my computer monitor and switch between the 2 with the switch. But cant view the ps3 on both displays.

It's not usually possible, though there may be one that can do it. Here's why: Virtually every AV receiver can only have one input selected at a time. The Yamaha RX-A830 has 7 HDMI inputs, and 2 HDMI outputs. You can select only one input at a time. It CAN send that ONE input to TWO different HDMI outputs simultaneously. But that won't solve your problem, since you'll have TWO outputs from your computer(going into the TWO inputs on the receiver). You can convert both computer outputs from vga/dvi to HDMI and have them both going to the receiver (and sending extended display), but you'll only be able to select and view one at a time.

No, this has three inputs that can be individually selected and one output. It would not send one input to multiple (selectable) outputs. For that, you would want an HDMI splitter, but those typically send the output to multiple displays at the SAME time. It sounds like what you want to do is only have one of the outputs at a time receive the signal. For that, you would want a bi-directional switch like this one:Sewell Direct SW-8876-3 IBIS 3x1/1x3 HDMI Bi-Directional Switch

That's basically right. This device only has HDMI-in, and no pass-through. So, unless you can already hook up your PC to your giant HDTV, you will not be able to use that HDTV to play games at the same time without another device. To do that, you'll need an HDMI splitter of some sort.

Exactly! At first, I wanted to control the HDMI devices thru my TV but shortly realized I couldn't see the program options. You will switch between HDMI devices thru the receiver. Kinda simplifies things a bit.

I don't think that should be a problem, but it might be kinda tight. FYI, there are newer HDMI cables out there that are significantly thinner than standard cables that would make things easier. Also, you mention speaker wires which leads me to believe that you are using a receiver with your set-up. If so, and if it does HDMI switching, you can eliminate all but one HDMI cable going to you TV.

If you have a need for multiple HDMI inputs and one out.. this is priced very well. Usually to get this you bump up in features and qualities.In my case, we have a mounted projector and need the hdmi switching so that multiple devices can be sent over the one cable to the projector

I send one output on the splitter to each of TV' and another to my home theater receiver. When I want to watch TV without turning on the receiver, I just turn on the TV. Another way to go is to use the RCA component outputs from your cable box and go to the RCA component inputs on your TV. Use that for TV watching when the receiver is off. Then run the HDMI from your cable box to the receiver for surround audio when you want it. That should give you the best of both worlds.

Good question, you should be able to run one through the monitor plug and one plugged into the HDMI port.
