How to Easily Set Up Multiple HD Displays with an HDMI Splitter

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) signals are transferred via HDMI connections designed for Bluray, DVD, and other high-resolution video feeds. These streams can then be routed to computer monitors or television screens for display. When you wish to deliver HDMI signals to many screens at the same time, utilise HDMI splitters. HDMI cables normally have one end that connects to the device output.

The other end of an HDMI cable contains at least two outputs split from a single line. Alternatively, an output device can be connected to hardware splitters via an HDMI connection. These are used in conjunction with an external power source to distribute signals among several display devices. Cables are readily configured to spread a single line across numerous screens at once.

About HDMI Splitters:

HDMI splitters can split just the original signals displayed on connected devices. When several screens are linked to HDMI-compatible equipment such as HD antennas and/or receivers, the images appear similar and cannot be managed individually. HDMI splitters are not to be confused with HDMI routing switchers, which combine various HDMI-compatible output sources into signals that may be changed manually or via remote control.

How to set up multiple HD displays using HDMI splitters?

Turn off the television and any other HDMI devices to which you plan to connect an HDMI splitter. Plug the HDMI splitter into an HDMI port on the side or back of your television. Next, connect the HDMI devices to open HDMI splitter ports (source devices). Remember that your HDMI splitter can only accommodate one or two sources. Turn on your television and all of the sources connected to your HDMI splitter. Now, scroll through the TV inputs until you find the HDMI input that corresponds to where you connected your HDMI splitter.

To switch between sources connected to your HDMI splitter, press the button on the remote control or the HDMI splitter box. The display should alternate between or among your sources. It may take several seconds until the source is visible. 

Installing split device feeds

Begin by connecting an HDMI splitter to the HDMI input on your source device. Next, connect an HDMI cable to an input on the HDMI splitter for your target devices. Plug HDMI cables into the available HDMI inputs on the devices where you want to show video and audio feeds. For example, if you want to display an audio/video feed from a single Blu-ray on two displays, you'll need to insert an HDMI splitter into your player. Now attach two HDMI wires to an HDMI splitter. Next, connect the other cable end to the HDMI inputs on your destination TVs. Turn on your televisions and scroll through the inputs until you discover an HDMI input corresponding with the position where you previously plugged an HDMI cable into each device.

Working with HDMI splitters 

When connecting two monitors to a computer with only one HDMI connection, an HDMI is an excellent option. An HDMI splitter is a tiny device that copies the visual signal from your computer onto two or more output ports. This lets you connect numerous displays to a single HDMI connection on your computer. Simply insert the HDMI splitter into your computer's HDMI port and link the HDMI cables from the splitter to the monitors. Keep in mind that while utilising an HDMI splitter, both monitors will show the same information; they will not be extended displays.
