HDMI Splitter 2 Way 1 In 2 Out Y Adapter Cable
PRODUCT CODE: 2WAY-HDMI-SPLITTER-CABLE-NZ2 Way, 1 In 2 Out HDMI Y Splitter Adapter Cable.
An HDMI splitter is one of the simplest ways of splitting an HDMI signal to send it across multiple displays.
An HDMI splitter cable is ideal for connecting one HDMI compatible device (i.e. Blu Ray, DVD player, Laptop, PS3, PS4, Xbox) to two visual output devices. It takes a video signal from one device and will direct it to two display devices.
Only one output device should be active at any time unless both TVs are of the same size, then both TVs will show the images when connected.
This product can act as a signal router, you may have a TV in two separate rooms, you can have a TV on in one room and, when you want to switch rooms and keep watching TV, simply switch one TV off and switch the other TV on, and then the signal is routed to the TV in the other room.
Guaranteed reliability. This HDMI Splitter cable includes a 2 Year Techexpress New Zealand Guarantee. As performance may be subjective or vary between cables, source devices and displays, we also offer a 14-day 'trial and return for refund less shipping fee' service to enable testing in your environment with your equipment.

- Try powering on one display at a time.

- Plug one of the Displays back into the HDMI splitter and wait a few seconds and then plug the power cable back into the splitter and wait a few seconds.
Please note,
• Not all HDMI devices are compatible with an HDMI splitter.
• It is not possible to mix resolutions. For example, if the source is 1920×1080, then both outputs will be 1920×1080.
• In the case where two source HDMI devices are connected to one HDMI display, only one HDMI source can be powered on at a time for functionality.
• Some HDMI content includes copy protection, meaning that the audio and/or video will not transmit over multiple devices. HDMI copy protection is known as HDCP. High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections.
• Many pay television service providers use copy protection to prevent the copying or sharing of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections. Your pay television service provider may offer a service for sharing content on multiple televisions. If you're looking to share content from your pay television service on multiple TVs, you'll need to check with your provider to see if they offer a service for doing so. Some providers offer a multi-room streaming service that allows you to watch the same content on multiple TVs in your home. Others offer a mirroring service that allows you to mirror the content from your main TV to a second TV.

Will this allow me to connect my desktop computer to two separate monitors and be able to switch between monitors?
Hi. Thanks for your question. This splitter cable enables the splitting of one HDMI socket into two HDMI sockets. While a splitter cable can work with many Desktop Computers to split the signal from one HDMI source for connection to two monitors, there is no provision for switching between the two monitors connected to the splitter. To switch between two monitors from a desktop computer, consider the HDMI switch (Product code TX161990, see https://www.techexpress.co.nz/products/bidirectional-hdmi-splitter

Thats a great question, thanks for asking. While we can't answer with certainty (as we have not used the passive HDMI splitter with a new Sky Box and Panasonic BW1840 Recorder), we know that HDCP can affect results.
