This HDMI Splitter Cable takes a signal from a single HDMI source (for example a Bluray player) and directs it to one of two HDMI displays connected to it. It is designed to connect one HDMI compatible device to two visual output devices. Key benefits Dual output from one source: Easily share a single HDMI source with two displays. Simple roomtoroom switching: Use a TV in two separate rooms by switching which display is active. Straightforward operation: Acts as a signal router to route the signal to the active display. How it works The device routes the source signal to one of two connected HDMI displays. Only one output can be active at any time. To switch the active display, turn off the TV in the room you're not using and turn on the TV in the room you want to view. The signal is routed to the TV that is powered on. Important note Only one output device can be active at any time. To obtain a clear picture on the display you are using, you must unplug the HDMI cable from the unused output. Simply powering off one display does not guarantee a clear picture.
