An HDMI splitter is able to send multimedia audio and video signals to multiple display devices. It does this by allowing two, or more, different High Definition Multimedia Interface output displays to share a single input source.
These splitters support many different types of HDMI devices such as a DVD player, video game consoles, computers with High Definition output, and satellite receiver boxes. When this device is used the signal is sent over a single cable with zero to little signal loss. The single cable also reduces clutter and saves quite a bit of space.
The devices are offered in 2, 4, or 8 port configurations and can be cascaded to accommodate even larger configurations of HDMI devices to be joined in a type of network. They are also available in matrix formats of 2 X 2 and 4X4 which are different combinations of a switch and a splitter to allow for remote access and control through TCP/IP or IR.
Installation of this device is relatively easy as it requires no software or device drivers to run. Thus it is simply plug and play as the saying goes. Its compact design is also a plus as it requires very little shelf space to sit on and can even be perched on top of your television if you have an inclination and the space to put it there.
Another reason that this device is so popular is its low power consumption. Thus you can update your home theater set up without using to much more power. A definite advantage when you consider the high cost of utilities nowadays. This allows you the freedom to enjoy your favorite form of entertainment without the worry that your electricity bill is going to wipe out your bank account.
Another key function of a splitter is to amplify and buffer HDMI input signals in such a way as to create two identical output signals simultaneously. Thus uncompressed streams of digital output are transmitted through the use of these devices.
The many applications that this kind of technology has been used for are interesting. For example in business it is being used in digital signage, classrooms, conference rooms, control rooms, shopping malls, information broadcasting, remote monitoring, and training facilities.
Because of its versatility in usage the HDMI splitter has become a very popular piece of technology.
