This HDMI Video Splitter works on the plug and play principle. A user needs to connect the Splitter from the HDMI source to the HDMI splitter input using a HDMI cable. The number of outputs will depend upon the type of splitter used. Available in many models such as 1x2, 1x4, and matrix combinations like 2x2, 2x8 and 4x4, greater number of outputs can be achieved by daisy chaining these splitters. Newer models guarantee more synchronized in/out ports, high compatibility and high reliability.
The inputs can be flawlessly and seamlessly switched between the sources. Control is exercised by Infra Red remote or the front-panel manual control button on the HDMI Distribution Amplifier. The front-panel LED's indicate the input which has been selected. Compact in size, this splitter unit transmits uncompressed digital streams and buffers and amplifies outputs. It is fully compliant with HDCP and has approvals from CE, FCC and RoHS.
