HDMI SPLITER 2 PORT

An HDMI splitter (2-port) is a device that takes a single HDMI source signal and duplicates it to be displayed on two separate screens simultaneously. It’s essentially an electronic signal amplifier and duplicator.

How it Works
The splitter has one HDMI input port and two HDMI output ports. You connect a single device, such as a Blu-ray player, gaming console, or a cable box, to the input port. You then connect two displays, like TVs or monitors, to the output ports. The splitter’s internal circuitry duplicates the video and audio signal from the source and sends it to both displays without any loss in quality.

Key Features
Simultaneous Display: The primary function is to show the exact same image on both connected screens. It does not allow for extending a desktop to create two independent displays; for that, you would need a graphics card with multiple outputs or a specific docking station.

Resolution Support: Most modern HDMI splitters support high resolutions, including 1080p, 4K, and even 8K, along with various audio formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Power: Many 2-port HDMI splitters are externally powered via a USB cable or a dedicated power adapter to ensure a stable and strong signal.

HDCP Compliance: It’s important to use an HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compliant splitter to ensure it can display content from protected sources like streaming devices or Blu-ray players.

An HDMI splitter is ideal for settings where you need to show the same content in two different locations, such as a multi-room home setup, a sports bar, or a conference room with multiple screens.
