I am trying to split a cable box HDMI output to a tv in my bedroom and a tv on back porch. I would like to watch one without the other having to be on as well or having to unplug one or the other. Will this allow for that?

BEST ANSWER: Yes. You can use either output independently--one can be on with the other off. It's a passive splitter in that the box doesn't know whether you have an active output connected or not. It would be the same if you had one output unplugged. I use this with monitors in my classroom and I often only turn on monitor on for smaller classes.

Yes. As long as you keep the Blackbird powered up and provide it an HDMI signal, it will send that signal to both locations regardless of which destination is turned on.

A shopper
on Apr 7, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes, this splitter can do it, however one of the video outputs will have some "buffer delay". So if you want the same video at the same time you might have a problem. If you don't mind some delay it works just fine.

Yes, but the tricky part is the resolution of each TV/Monitor you are attatcthing might be different. I use it to duplicate the display not extend, so I haven't tried it that way. My computer reduces the resolution. I hook up one TV/Monitor at a time to the splitter, so the computer can set set the resolution, then the second TV/Monitor will be set to the same resolution as the first.

would this allow me to use each monitor independently such as having outlook on one screen and the internet on the other?
Richard R
on Dec 20, 2016
BEST ANSWER: This will not allow two different images on each screen. It will simy take one signal and split it to be viewed on two monitors. Most desktop and laptop computers seem to have two video outlets and you get the choice to "duplicate" or "extend" the video signal. "Extend" allows two different images to be viewed on two different monitors.

It is labeled as an "amplifier splitter" -- so does it actually "amplify" the signal. For example if I am using it in the middle of a very long run (e.g. 75'), will it boost the signal such that it is better than if I just ran a straight 75' cable?

This question has kind of been asked, but I'm not sure the answer applies to my specific situation. The main question I have is can I extend my laptop to two HDMI monitors? In other words, I have a laptop with 2 HDMI monitors. I want to extend the desktop to both monitors by connecting an HDMI cable from the laptop to the input, and split it out to both monitors. An example use case is I have my email up on one monitor, my web browser on the other, and another application on my laptop screen. Will this handle that, or does the image span all 3 monitors? I know I have been able to do this with a dock, but it belonged to my former employer so I am looking for an inexpensive solution which functions the same way.

What is the difference or benefits between an amplifier splitter and a regular splitter?
A shopper
on Mar 5, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The regular splutter will work if you are splitting the signal and it does not need to travel far. The amplified splutter lets you send the signal much farther. In my case I have a dvr for my surveillance cameras. The dvr is in my garage. The monitors are in my living room and in my upstairs bedroom about both about 70 feet away. I could run 1 or the other without the amplified splutter. The amplified splutter just has a power cord that plugs into 120v to boost the signal strength. I hope this helps.

BEST ANSWER: If your DVR has an HDMI output, this splitter/amplifier will allow you to do what you’re wanting. You will need to run one HDMI cable from the DVR output to the amplifier input, then run an HDMI cable to the two locations you want. The main consideration for you is how you will run the HDMI cables to your desired locations. You’ll probably need to run the cables up your walls and into your attic, then down your walls to your tv’s. This will require long HDMI cables as this unit does not send a wireless signal.

It would really depend on distance. If your HDMI cables need to be longer than 50 ft , then I would consider using HDMI over CAT6 like this model # 18786. If your distance is shorter , then yes. I would also recommend the Cabernet Ultra series HDMI cables from Monoprice.

I am trying to drive two TVs off of one cable-box using this Amplifier Splitter (Product # 15379). The first TV is connected via a 1.5m cable, the second via a Monoprice 25 foot cable (Product # 6069). No signal makes it out of the other end to the second TV. I swapped outputs from the splitter box and still only the closer TV gets a signal. Can't it drive a 25 foot cable? Is the box defective??

I'm using this.... https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=12736
I would suspect the cable before the box. I have run 30-50' HDMI cables from this box with no issues.

What is the maximum cable length for the input and the outputs?
New User U
on Dec 13, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Hello, signal length is dependent on the signal strength of the devices not the splitter. Regardless this should amplify the signal and can reach up to 100ft providing the devices can output at that length. I hope this helps, thank you.

Will this work with a 3D capable TV if one of the outputs (A/V receiver) is not 3D compatible?
A shopper
on Jan 8, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Hello, using an HDMI splitter like this to send a signal to an AVR and a display is not advisable. Due to the method at which splitters work, they force the highest quality common signal and send it to both devices. This unit features an ability to force the EDID information from output 1 or 2 but the end signal is completely dependent on the devices connected. An example is if output 1 is a display that supports 3D and 2.1 audio is forced onto the output 2 which is connected to an AVR, the AVR system will only output 2.1 audio. Certain televisions are capable of outputting 7.1 audio though they only have two speakers, and this wouldn't be an issue. I would recommend on consulting your owners manual or the displays manufacture to have a clear answer, i hope this helps a little.

I'm looking to put the HDMI splitter on a frontier cable box. 1 HDMI will be wired to a tv. The second one I want to use the wireless HDMI unit from the splitter to a projector that will be located outside on the patio. I want to make sure using the HDMI splitter with the wireless unit will work and secondly that the wireless unit will work on a projector.
I believe that should work just fine. Make sure the projector is within the specified range for the wireless HDMI and in line of sight. The wireless works excellently but the range and line of sight are very strict.. I recommend keeping the cables between the frontier box and the splitter and the splitter and the wireless transmitter as short as possible.

I am looking to splitt the hdmi signal from my Directv H25 receiver to a second tv. Does this splitter work without having a HDCP compliant error?
New User U
on Feb 4, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Hello, thank you for your question. Unfortunately due to the large variance of television receivers and the general nature of Satellite/cable decoders, adding splitters or extenders between the source to the displays can commonly cause issues and require some trial and error. We would recommend trying to make the run as direct as possible and making sure the HDCP version used by the receiver is supported by all your equipment. I hope this helps, and of course if you have any more questions feel free to contact us!

What is the Copy/Auto switch? I read the manual and it still is not clear.
A shopper
on Feb 22, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The copy option would force the EDID for HDMI out 1 to be the same for HDMI out 2.
Auto would have the splitter pass through the signal instead.

works with quirks
Works great with one monitor on.....problem the signal leaks some of the settings from one to the other....i.e., had one set to turn off after 2 hours...which caused the set that was on to turn off....took forever for me to figure out....other than that, works as advertised!

Response from Monoprice
Thank you for your good review! We are glad to hear that you are happy with our Monoprice Amplifier Splitter. We agree that this product works as advertised and allows you to split one HDMI input signal into two HDMI output signals.
We have noted your comment about the signal leakage issue that you encountered with the splitter. This is a known quirk that occurs when the HDMI source device sends a power management signal to the splitter, which then affects both of the connected displays. This can be avoided by disabling the power saving mode on the source device, or by using a different HDMI cable that does not support this feature.
You can also contact our product specialist team for more optimization options if needed via [email protected]. Thank you for choosing our product and giving us your feedback.

Works well. I used it to resolve a problem where the Roku would not sync up with our small Vizio TV. No more screen freezes or HDCP errors.

Works so far in our testing
We've only used it for testing so far and haven't had a chance to put it through it's paces, but it seems like it's working.
You can have only one output peripheral to this, but it has to be plugged into Output 1. Output 2 will not display anything until you plug a device into Output 1.
