I just literally cancelled an order now of this switch. Thanks dude, this video saved me some bucks. The problem is with the sellers, they still call the switch “splitter” and their illustrative images do not show that the 3 slots are actually inputs and not outputs. But thanks, I’m glad I came to check further on my purchase. Lesson: Always make sure you know clearly what you’re buying, don’t trust sellers’ descriptions, check manufacturers’ if possible
Thanks mate. I have asked Google and shop assistants all week as I wanted to hook up 2 devices to my TV. You are the only person who has provided the answer I wanted lol.
@@robtechhelp4323 if we have to connect fire tv stick and DVD player to tv so how to connect it ?? And my tv and DVD player has only one hdmi arc ?? Or can we connect using hdmi splitter.
Thanks for the concise explanation with examples. I was searching this before buying because me and my wife have diferent laptops but share 1 Drawing tablet, instead of having to unplug USB and hdmi constantly when we both are going to use it, we just press the switch. Thanks a lot and the outcome was better than expected.
Thanks dude.... I’m wanting to run xbox into Mac HMDI Capture card for live streaming to twitch, while at the same time into my tv for gameplay. This is to avoid latency issues when playing games but allowing good quality video for my stream. Good explanation 👍
man i know its a year later but this is helpfull but i have a question, i have a pc and 2 monitors so i need splitter in order to use both monitors, but i dont want a hasle to plug in plug out the cable to play my switch on one of the monitor, so what if i plug the HDMI Switch to one of the HDMI Splitter would that work?
I have a question, I have a home theater that only works with my old tv. Will a HDMI splitter send the sound to my old tv(in other words, to my home theater) or do I need something else? (Sorry, I'm dumb with tech things lol)
I want to connect my ps5 and my xbox series x...i need a switch. But, the switch, doesnt downgrade the quality on my tv...does it give the exact same signal?
Hey Rob, I am trader and i have 2 monitors and a laptop with just 1hdmi port. I want to be able to use discord on one monitor, my charts on one monitor and my brokers app on my laptop. What should i buy? Please do reply, in the middle of nowhere.
My laptop has HDMI Output. But can I use my laptop screen as my monitor by using HDMI Switcher? My plan is to use my consoles as Input and my laptop screen will be Output in HDMI Switcher. Thanks.
Hi! With that splitter can you work in a separately way with the two monitors? In my case I have a graphic tablet and a monitor, the input is my laptop. So I want to work with my graphic tablet while I use the monitor for other stuff, like searching references,goin on youtube ecc. Can I do this with this object or it just duplicate the same image to the 2 devices?
Thanks for your detailed review and infos! :) Now, I know, I have a splitter and not a switcher ^^ and I'm very happy with it (most of the time I use it as "switcher" though).
How do I use this for my PS4? I have the splitter mainly plugged up to my PS4 and then I have a monitor HDMI in a TV HDMI going from the two ends into their HDMI’s and they’re not working but the HDMI eyes are fine. what do I do?
I bought a cheap splitter and when I tried to split the hdmi to my tv and my laptop, it doesn't work. It only works when one device is connected to the splitter, not both at the same time.
I've got a question, so if I've got one hdmi port in my pc and I have two monitors, which one do I buy to use multiple monitors for different purposes?
The techole is a splitter, if you are using a pc u can connect one hdmi to the input from the pc and use two hdmis for the out our to the two monitors.
here is my case ... 1. I have desktop computer 2. graphic card with only 1 hdmi port 3. that port is already connected to my dell monitor 4. now i want to connect my sony bravia with hdmi also , so that i can see same visuals in both screen at the same time and want to use 1 keyboard and 1 mouse for both screen ! what should i do ? i want full confirmation ..... plz answe
I have that gana 3 port switch and for some reason when playing my Xbox Series X through it the screen goes black every few minutes for like 5 seconds, any fix for this?
@@robtechhelp4323 removed and reconnect does same thing, weird thing is, doesnt do it when i switch to my pc on it so may be the hdmi im using with my xbox
Hi I have firestick and when I am streaming a movie the volume is way lower then the reg cable which will have me on my issue to hear a movie much louder? Daniel
Rob Tech Help yes the tv remote my firestick is the first generation so the volume is low when watching a movie compared to a regular cable show so do I need a you of those to Increase the volume on the firestick?
Rob Tech Help I need that . The cable that comes out from my satellite receiver must split to the recording device and to the screen. After that, there’s a cable come out from the recording device to the screen. The problem is that there is only one HD port in the screen, so I also need a switcher for the two cables the come from the splitter of the receiver and the recording device. BecausI don't want the recording device to stay on all the time, I just want to turn it on at the time of recordinge
any splitter that needs power is the right one. the splitter that does not need power is the switcher, that's not useful when trying to output the video from ps4 or similar sources to multiple displays.
I have an HDMI Splitter 1 in 2 out Display. When you Turn on TV1 and TV2, both get a display. The problem is that when you turned off either one of them (TV1 or TV2), the remaining TV will get no signal or display. Any solution?
@@korabihmarvin6796 I find that I tend to have that issue with 1x2 splitter where when I disconnect one of the outputs, it affects the other one aswell, I just end up connect mine straight from the input (pc,Xbox,etc) to the tv
I'm thinking I need a switch then cause I got a splitter recently and mind you it wasn't a very expensive one but I was getting a No signal on my monitor. I'm trying to have a Moniter/Tablet set up but my tablet must need a lot of power to get signal or something cause I stay getting that message haha It only works when I unplug the monitor and plug the tablet in via HDMI which is mad annoying. Maybe a switch will provide that full power I need instead of a shared. Idk how this stuff works Lmao
This Splitter does not extend monitors though. Just duplicates them. If you want different things on 2 monitors, you need a splitter that extends displays not just mirrors them.
No disrespect, but you seem to be really confused on what "Extend" means, and you keep mixing up splitter and switches you actually make the water muddier rather than clear it up. I think you might consider recording this again.
So my question is if anyone can help the splitter. Can I run a game on a tv monitor then when I wanna watch Netflix or sum can I swap it over to my tv via button
@@robtechhelp4323 yea but I thought the switch had one output and several inputs? But alright thank you I’ll look into it I’m pretty positive you know more about this than I do 😂
@@loganbeddard7122 wait are you talking about running the game and Netflix on the tv monitor? Or u want to run the game on the tv monito and run Netflix on an actual TV?
