Can I choose just one or the other hdmi output, or do I have to play both outputs at once?

BEST ANSWER: It splits one input into two exact duplicate outputs. The outputs are independent though. It still works if you just connect one and not the other, or if you connect both, but only have one active.

Well, it is a splitter meaning that it takes one input and duplicates that input to both outs simultaneously. A typical scenario would be feeding two screens from the same source.

I'm looking to use this so split out audio to a receiver.
I don't want an extractor that uses TOSLINK since it's an old standard that doesn't work well with new audio formats.
Would this be suitable to hookup my TV with one output and use the other for just audio going in to my receiver?

BEST ANSWER: it is very possible to connect this input from your source(ie. DirecTV or cable) then one output to your tv and the other to a HDMI input on your receiver if it supports a function called arc/E-arc.
but if your receiver supports ARC and your tv does jus use a HDMI cable that supports ARC and connect it from TV ARC (which is one of the HDMI inputs ,usually HDMI 1 or2) to the receiver TV output. that will handle the audio from the TV source straight back into the receiver.

What does the COPY/AUTO switch next to the power input do?
Angela S
on Dec 10, 2017
BEST ANSWER: It affects how the EDID info (Extended display identification data) is passed to the input port. Copy forces the device to always use the port 2 EDID. Auto lets the splitter pick which EDID to use.
From the manual for#15379, a similar model.
EDID Mode:
Copy Mode: copy output 2 EDID to input port.
Auto Mode: compare output port 1 and 2 EDID.

Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a metadata standard that lets display devices like monitors, televisions, and projectors communicate their capabilities to the video source. When using HDMI, the EDID from your television tells the video source what the dimensions of the screen are.

im using tvs with different resolutions. will this display correct res for each or lowest resolution?
john s
on Dec 27, 2016
BEST ANSWER: It depends...is your problem resolution or HDMI VERSION related? At first, I thought my issue was a resolution issue(8" LCD panel on one and UHD TV on the other), but after looking closer at what was happening(each monitor worked on splitter by itself, but not both at same time) Turned out to be a HDMI version issue(LCD panel was ver. 1.0 and TV was ver. 1.2). Since mine was a VERSION issue, this device works GREAT! Both panels receive the SAME resolution from source device. I don't think resolution on the viewing device matters, only source HDMI version matters on bi-directional communication like HDMI! This device allows two DIFFERENT HDMI versions to view, at the same time, from a single source HDMI signal!(Source HDMI version doesn't matter) Each of my monitors are set to different resolutions. Hope this helps!

Is this hdcp 1.4 or 2.2? I saw in the comment someone saying that it successfully stripped his hdcp 2.2 signal while in the manual it says it's only hdcp 1.4?

Do you mean that it bypasses everything lower than HDCP 1.4, or that this device doesn't change anything about HDCP at all?

This item does not bypass or strip HDCP from the signal at all.
The version of HDCP an item supports would determine what can pass through it.
So this can pass any signal that is HDCP 1.4 or lower but not anything higher than that.

Works great with Xbox Series X
Works exactly as advertised. I ran my Xbox Series X into the Blackbird, then ran from it to my legacy non-4K AV receiver for sound and also to my TV for 4K picture. What a great, inexpensive solutiion.

WORKS GREAT!!!!
This replaced the earlier model which just up and quit.
This unit is even better since its power comes right from the DVR.
Thanks for the improvements.

Not The Same Unit As Advertised
Although is has the same product name & part number, the unit I received is missing the COPY/AUTO switch. It seems to be functioning normally.
