HDMI Splitter vs HDMI Switcher vs HDMI Matrix 

You are a lifesaver, my friend. I watched COUNTLESS videos and read so many tutorials, but it truly took an expert to break down my problem to something as simple as needing an HDMI adapter for my problem.

finally figured out i ended buying the wrong splitter now i know i need a switch for my gaming consoles and the matrix one is pretty cool

This man should teach others how to properly explain stuff 💀

This video really helped me out. Didn't know Matrix exist and already planning to buy a Switcher and Splitter and connect each other. Now I can save a money and space with this lol.

This was so EXCELLENT SIR. Very well d9ne. I was boggled by the difference and you cleared it up so quickly 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I have 3 inputs (PS5, CABLE TV, APPLE TV) and 2 outputs (TV SCREEN, PROJECTOR) What should I buy?

Thanks for explaining! I almost bought a HDMI splitter instead of buying a HDMI switcher.

Thank you for introduce the MATRIX which I need it and no one knows about it.

Very well explained and shown

Very nice. Good recap for me, and fantastic for explaining this to my parents!

He is a great salesman ❤

This explanation was really done well.

My tv has two HDMI outputs and both are being used. I needed another HDMI output to connect my Amazon Firestick. Do i need a splitter or a switcher?

I wonder what the additional latency is for the different functions of the different devices.!?

At 3:10, it’s mentioned that Switches can potentially be single input to multiple output: are any switches reversible? Or do you need specific switches that have multiple outputs?

Thank you so much sir for your packaged information.

Hello there, I wonder if you could help me with a project i can’t figure out. I recently purchased a SANDISK G-DRIVE HARD DRIVE WITH USB-C - 12TB that I’d like to connect to my Samsung smart television. The 12tb hard Drive contains all my movies and was hoping to connect it somehow to my smart 4K Samsung Tv. I’ve tried connecting it directly to my HDMI box and directly to the USB port but neither worked, it just showed on the tv something was connected or said no files or folders available? I’m guessing I need some kind of hardware in between to connect properly ? Any ideas? Thanks for your time and help Jeffrey

i have a monitor and a pcvr headset and i need more HDMI ports which one would i use?

Can you also use the switch to have 1 input, and switch between two outputs SCREEN 1 | SCREEN 2?

What is the latency of these switches?

Can the matrix run a dual monitor display

as a newbie, you only explained one end of the wire. you don't share exactly how to connect the source of the hdmi input. does it come from the monitor or is it a connection to the monitor connection on the pc computer.

I'm looking to use a Dolby Atmos with E arc soundbar ,going to a 4k TV with arc only to enable to get Dolby Atmos. Which box would be the best to use with several connections?

makes sense. i need a switcher lol

Thank you, so helpful.

Can you tell me for the Tv model, samsung qe55q60b the best solution for extra hdmi ports?i have tried some hdmi splitters in the past with a negative result, thank you

This video sums up everything!

Thanks a lot, it was helpful a lot.

Which would be best if i wanted to use my ps5 on two different screens (monitor and tv) but not at the same time. I want to be able to switch between the two screens.

Thank you, much appreciated

hdmi 2.1 standard is rubish as its not really a full standare, to adhere to 2.1 you only have to suport some of the standards. personally i think the hdmi standard is now broken.

Do you ship to Brazil?

Can we split the signal by taking one of the outputs from the Matrix device? Also I saw your 8 output splitter using cat, one transmitter and 8 receiver, will that not require an additional network switch? Also will the resolution adjustment be different for different output devices depending on the device compatibility?

Great video!

Is there a function or feature for one of those switch or matrix devices to make the input (source) think the output (display) is still on after switching to another HDMIi source? I have my MacBook in external monitor, keyboard and mouse mode. As soon as I switch the HDMI switch to another source, the MacBook automatically goes into sleep mode when I still want it running to finish its tasks. Thanks

is it possible to extend the image? which mean 1 input to 2 output but only show 1 image on 2 screens

Can I use HDMI Switch with HDMI Splitter for more than 2 displays? I have 2 input devices and 4 output devices

Do you have a product that displays 2 or 4 different inputs to 1 monitor

awesome!

I really really need help, and I hope this channel or someone in these comments can help me, because I'm not a tech genius. My laptop, an Acer Nitro 5, has only 1 HDMI output, but I need 2 HDMI outputs. I want to stream and make digital art, so I need 1 screen to have the OBS streaming software open which would be my laptop screen, another screen being my Sanyo TV for Twitch/RU-vid to monitor the stream, and a third for my XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro graphic design screen tablet which uses HDMI exclusively. I cannot use a USB-C port because I tried to use a Benfei USBC to HDMI extender and it didn't work at all with my TV OR my drawing tablet, the screens just wouldn't turn on or show anything at all. I then erroneously got an HDMI to HDMI splitter that only mirrors displays, it wouldn't extend the displays like I need. I'm nervous about using a USB to HDMI device already having the poor experience with the USB-C not working as needed, and I also have wayyy too many USB devices as it is with my microphone, webcam, ring light, external hard drive, etc. What I want is a HDMI to HDMI Splitter into at least 2 useable HDMI ports than also extends NOT JUST MIRRORS my displays so I can have the 3 separate screens I need. This device also shouldn't be that expensive, I don't want to pay more than like $40. Somebody please direct me to a device that suits my needs, I would be greatly in your debt!

In reality, none of the ones you present transmit an audio signal to two monitors at the same time, so they are of no use

Hello. I have looked online and cannot find much info on the HDMI matrix, but have a question. Will it allow me to ‘extend’ my laptop connection with different monitors, rather than just duplicate what’s on my laptop to said monitors? Thanks

Directed to the point, great explanation and showing them in practice. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Is there a combination of these tools that can be used to "extend" the display of a computer across 2 monitors/displays? I have a 4x2 matrix and am struggling to get anything other than a duplicate display which is pretty useless for the side by side setup I'm trying to create. Thanks.

I’m on my 3rd splitter. The first 2 have failed. I use the splitter when running the av (volunteer for charity) for a group meeting once a month. The 4 port splitters don’t seem to last very long. I’ve used them with a good quality surge protector so that’s not the issue. They are great, until they die. I typically keep a spare so I can swap it out quickly and keep thing going.

Demonstratio based education is always the best. Thanks for you indebth details🎉

Hi, thanks for the amazing explanation. I do have a few questions regarding the splitter. If I have for example my gaming console on but I want to display on one display and have the other turned off Is that possible or do I have to have both displays on simultaneously? Because in the video you showed the splitter doing its job of course, but I was wondering if I could have one of the displays off while the input is just outputting to one of the displays, not both at the same time.

Will this work for using a PC extended monitors and mac extended monitors? I would like to use my PC on dual extended monitors, then switch to Mac dual extended, then switch to a game console. The game doesn't have to have dual monitors. I hope this makes sense lol

which would i use to connect 4 displays to a laptop, to show different windows on each monitor?

Hi I have a hdmi 2.0 port on tv and I need hdcp 2.2 for 4K . Can I use this where i can connect Amazon 4K fire stick hdcp 2.2 to this device and then can i get 4K resolution

Why in the heck cant more explanation videos be this simple? Like wow I didnt know the difference and know I do

The Maxtrix what is the maxed refresh rate it can handle on 2K resolution and 1080P?

Hi sir!!!!So i can take from tv one hdmi to give to a nother tv and to a soundbar????

i bought a switch but it doesn't look like it supports 1440p, if it does can you tell me how to do it , I have the BK-21A

Does Orei make any splitter that can actually display 2 different hdr formats at the same exact time? For example can you display dolby vision on 2 tvs and HDR10 PLUS ON THE 3RD AND/OR 4TH TV at the same time?

How do I connect three monitors with one PC using one one mouse and one keyboard?

No rapid switching....

great explanation🍺

Hello, im using my iPhone to watch movie to my tv and I got HDCP issue. Will the HDMI matrix will solve that problem? Thanks. Like your video very informative

so if I need two separate monitors to display two separate things would I use the switcher instead of splitter? I have a splitter but is it possible to switch monitors instead of having it repeat the same thing on my monitor? I'm connecting my hp laptop through a splitter and it's just repeating the same output on one screen than for another if that makes sense. I just want to use 2 different monitors in addition to my laptop screen so I can use it as different monitors. what can I do I need help im so confused and I need this for work

Can any of these "merge" two input and display it simultaneously on one display by splitting the screen in two sectors? Or you need a videowall processor for that? Kinda miss the old days of split screen gaming. So would like to use something like that on my projector and play a game together with other people using 1 projector and 2 computers.

Is there an s video matrix?

Hello I looked at both amazon and your website and i can't find the switch versions that support 8k. All of them mention 4k only. Are the ones that support 8k not available?

I need a analog audio out.

i need to make an hdmi output on two different outputs to two different monitors how can I do this?

Thanks

Thanks sharing! Was very helpful!
