subject: Connecting To Quality With Hdmi Splitters [print this page] A unique and exceptional technology for the high definition cable connections which provides digital content in video and audio is undoubtedly, an HDMI Splitter. This device is a distribution amplifier which allows you to connect a number of HDTV products such as D-VHS players, satellite set top boxes, several HDMI displays, DVD players and others with two or more than two HDTV displays. It has the capability of connecting your device with an HDMI output to your HDTV using a single cable. Another advantage of these splitters is that these work on a simple principle of plug and play and are compatible with HDCP compliant devices which ensure high resolution video. The images are sharp and clear because there is no chance of piracy as the HDCP is an encoded key in the HDMI. It is also compatible the DVIs and is used for a number of applications.
The HDMI splitters have revolutionized the HDMI technology as these receive and accept signals from a single source and split this source in to two or more of HDMI feeds. Therefore, we can also name them as signal boosters. These can easily be installed within no time- even in seconds. The video signals are simultaneously transmitted to all the connected digital displays after the splitter is connected and powered on. For covering larger distances and creating longer lengths, a daisy chaining of two or more amplifiers is done. The video graphic array (VGA) which is widely known as video splitters are used for the extension of the signals. These amplifiers operate at a frequency of 165 MHz while supporting HDTV resolutions of 1080i, 1080p, 480i, 567i, 480, 567, 720p and the video graphic array resolutions of 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1920 x 768, and 1920 x 1200. The DVI (digital visual interface) is another application in this context which allows a single DVI source to display the same image on multiple DVI monitors. This device is compliant to the HDCP and is available in 2, 4, 5 and 8 port sizes. This type of DVI is usually used in training facilities, test benches, classrooms and/or remote monitoring. It is believed that the HDMI splitters were launched to replace the DVI because the DVI did not support audio very well.
Standard clutters of the bulky audio cables and the video graphic array cables are avoided as the in HDMI all of the video and audio signals are integrated on a single very thin cable. A wide range of the HDMI splitters are available in the market today. From 2, 2 x 2 to 4, 4 x 4 and 8 even the HDMI Matrix is presented which is a combination of an HDMI switch and an HDMI splitter. The HDMI and all its products are superior technologies which provide excellent quality. These ensure high resolution making the video crystal clear and crisp. The audio experience is also totally worth it. Compare the prices and features of different splitters before buying one for yourself.
