Product Information

Because of the extra ports, and the top quality, this Kinivo switcher is a bit more expensive than the rest, but it offers 4K 60Hz, HDR and DolbyVision support – so that might be worth the extra cost. If you know your display and video source are HDCP-compliant, consider just getting an HDCP-compliant HDMI cable. HDCP-Compliant HDMI Cable: 8K HDCP 2.3-Compliant HDMI Cable On the other hand, an HDMI switch manages multiple source inputs to transmit to a single output (most receivers act like HDMI switches). Thus an HDMI splitter will transmit to all available channels while an HDMI switch will only transmit to one. How Does an HDMI Splitter Work? It supports 4K at 30Hz, which is good for most uses, except for 4K gaming – so it’s not a good fit for the PS4 Pro, PS5, and other 4K gaming consoles.

If your home entertainment setup is a bit more complicated than just one media device and two screens – the TESmart Splitter/Switcher will give you more options. It delivers 4K and 2K content at 30Hz and 1080p content at 120Hz. It also supports most audio formats, and is equipped with built-in vents to prevent it from overheating. However, even that will probably be too far for the top picture quality – especially if you’re planning to stream 4K video.

Things To Consider

If that’s not possible, it’s a matter of trial and error. In my personal testing, the Belfen 4K HDMI Switcher worked flawlessly with both the PS4 Pro and the PS5, and I’m assuming the two top ones will manage it as well – but you won’t know for sure until you try, unfortunately. If you're looking for a thoughtfully designed HDMI switcher with a premium look and feel, the Zettaguard 4K is worth some consideration. Our reviewer tested it for weeks and thought the 4K content she streamed on her PC looked great, with the HDR coloring making the videos pop. The HDMI splitter from Zettaguard can handle a maximum resolution of 4K at 30Hz and is compatible with Dolby Audio. It accepts video signals from laptops, gaming consoles, and Blu-ray players, making it a versatile device for media enthusiasts. This means the two HDMI ports on one side can serve as either Input or Output, and the same goes for the single HDMI port on the other side. So you can connect two devices to one television, OR connect one device to TWO televisions/projectors. If you’ve bought bad HDMI splitter before, then this highly recommended Orei product will work for you.

If you’re looking for a new product for your home office, try the ZIYIRUI HDMI Splitter. With two output HDMI ports, it is widely compatible, and it is able to work with computers, PlayStation, Xbox, projectors, and even VR kits. It also features gold-plated connectors to prevent rusting and degradation of the ports over time. Additionally, its bandwidth is ideal for transferring video and audio without any data loss, ensuring high video and audio quality. Orei also fared well in our round-up of HDMI Switchers, and here they are again taking the splitter market by storm. This unit will easily duplicate a single signal to up to four 4k displays (it comes in both two and four output models) Like most other media and data cables, the video signal on HDMI cables degrades over long distances. The advantage of using HDMI ARC or eARC over an HDMI splitter is that it allows you to take advantage of Consumer Electronic Control or CEC. This allows you to use one of your device’s remotes to control all of your devices. It also synchronizes your devices so that they all have one master volume. Active HDMI Splitters First, you need to make sure your HDMI Switcher supports 4K and HDR (as do the PS4 Pro, PS5 and XBOX Series X).An HDMI cable has 19 wire pairs that terminate in the same number of pins on the HDMI plug. Each of these wires transmits different information electronically via digital signals. This includes not only audio and visual data but also information about the specific devices and commands you might find on a remote control. That’s exactly what this TESmart splitter does – with added support for the most recent HDCP standard (2.2 – so it should be suitable for Sky Q), as well as Dolby Atmos and several other advanced audio formats (though the splitter is just a pass-through – you still need a device that can interpret these audio signals). Whether you want to build your own home theater or just learn more about TVs, displays, projectors, and more, we've got you covered.
