Thanks, it works! TIP: If it doesn't work for the first time, switch from HDMI out 1 to HDMI out 2 (or vice versa). The splitter needs to split the signal (OR, in this case, believe it has to!) to get rid of the HDCP protection. But you don't NEED to output to two different devices to do this!
If you in the UK, on Amazon is the same box BUT its under a different name its called iSolem 2 Way HDMI Switch Splitter Box 1x2. I can conform it works we brought one
1:13 PS3 can output 1080p over component just fine, though you should capture the PS3 games at 720p only anyway. And the HDMI splitters were widely available and cheap since forever, it's safe to say that most PS3 captures weren't done via component.
wrong, wrong, and wrong again. sorry but i 100% disagree with everything you said PS3 limits component to 1080i, component cables can handle 1080p but the PS3 doesn't do it. Sony's own site says that their component cables only go up to 1080i, they have even constrained it in the settings menu. You should only cap PS3 in 720p? lol..... not all HDMI splitters strip HDCP ... your comment is worthless, thanks bye
Thanks so much man! I got my elgato today for the sole purpose of capturing video but i had no idea about HDCP. It turns out i had about 3 splitters and it worked perfectly! Again thank you!
Most people use this device to record data (games, videos, etc.) In my case, I'm glad I found this video, because I need it to take input from an HDCP encoded HDMI output from a laptop and use it as input to another laptop via an "HDMI to USB converter" that I own. This isn't for any recording, rather this is for a robotics application. I've read about some laptops built before 2009 that have non-HDCP encoded HDMI outputs but I didn't want to buy a ten year old laptop. Curiously the HDCP protocol supports applying HDCP to only a "region" of the screen, which was intended so that an operating system could protect a video window without protecting the rest of the screen. But MacOS (and I presume Windows) is not smart enough to use this feature, so even when there's no HDCP content on a desktop, the HDMI signal is still encoded with HDCP between all four corners of the screen. I presume this product uses the crack documented here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection#Master_key_release
Buy a 1.3b or 1.4b 1x2 hdmi splitter the one in blue and white text is the one you want, any other splitters will only display a blank output, beware only buy the ones listed above as they will work with hd encryption any other brand of hdmi splitters will result in a blank screen no video output. They are not HDCP compliant.
Hello, I just bought a HDMI Splitter because I want to record some PS3 Gameplays but I have some problems, at first I had Video but no audio and now I can only record the PS3 main menu with sound but I have a black screen, what am I doing wrong? Everything is plugged in in the right place.
@@LeandroAndradeR Hello, I found a solution but I had to use another capture card. Luckily I already had an Avermedia Game Capture HD II, I plugged it to my PS3 but I had to also plug a Component cable from my PS3 to my capture card, the video quality isn't great but at least I can record some Gameplays.
Hi, I recently bought a Capture Device Called Ezcap 284. When I connect It to my Graphics Card it shows, "This display doesn't support HDCP" and now I can not record my gameplay using OBS. Should I buy a Splitter??
can you go into more detail about how this is hooked up? I have multiple systems hooked up to my tv with a 4 way splitter but only need this for my PS3
i have all my consoles go into an HDMI switcher, because i have multiple things hooked up, and then i have that go into this splitter here, just to stop all HDCP --- you can have your 4 way spitter go into this, even tho you only need the PS3 to be stripped
The Amazon page linked in the description says 1.4, but I bought one and it looked different from yours, and nowhere on the device or box does it have any version number. The red light on the splitter when I put in the HDMI cord to the input from the PS3 dorsn't even come on. No display from HDMI either. Is it just my PS3 or did I buy the wrong version which you linked?
Questions is in download movies onto my kids fire tablet or my android phone on platforms like Netflix, Disney, prime video. I go camping where I have no internet to cast. So I am looking for a cable that can mirror whatever movie I downloaded from the tablet without wifi.HDCP encryption seems to be an issue that I cannot play onto my projector. What card can help. Please help. Thanks
Maybe what will finally have to be done is to interrupt the signal to the picture display and insert a device there which connect to a non-HDMI connector which can be recorded so that whatever the picture tube/display got , you record it.
I see you have a switcher as well, do you need a switcher to bypass HDCP? Also you say the splitter goes to the TV and the capture card, do they go into the output ports and the input port back to.. the TV? Maybe you don't need the one port? Just curious about the setup. ...Also does it have to be one with it's own power supply like this one? Thanks in advance for any info and thanks for the video. ... ALSO, does the device you use support 4K passthrough into 1080p60fps?
you don't need the switcher, just the splitter. you don't need both ports on the splitter, but I have one output of the splitter going to the TV and the other output going to the cap card. I don't know about the power supply, this is the only splitter that I have confirmed works 100% of the time.
I have an apple tv which is dhcp encrypted hdmi. Can I use this splitter and then to a hdmi to avc converter to get audio by my sony dvd home theatre system (white and red av cables) and video by tv (yellow av cable).
Hi I'd like to play PS3 games on my TV and to stream/record sessions on my computer. Will it work with 3 HDMI cables ? Will the splitter bypass HDCP protection ?
I bought V viewHD arrives in 2 days i hope finaly a splitter that works i dont get why i need to buh and return 10 different splitters to find 1 that works and they all look like the same model
Does this work if you want to mirror your phone to the tv through hdmi to lightning with a usb also available with let’s say Netflix or nfl Sunday ticket?
bought that very thing off e-bay and when hooked up I get no signal at all just a blue screen, I take it out and I have a normal signal, my cap card lets me do AV/component so ya whatever. and besides, I also run through my old school vcr/dvd recorder that does not know or care about HDCP but does care about DRM which has a different way to bypass that. this is the same old battle, where the armorer was trying to protect the wearer and the weapon maker was trying to get past the armor.
How do you record your gameplay with the splitter because i like to record my gameplay so i can make screen shots of my gameplay for my instagram account
Please you only can really help me. I have a canon m50 mark ii and elgato hd60s+. I want to live stream and use this camera as webcamera thats why i bought elgato. As i connected everything well i have freezes in my game and camera lose the signal randomly woth 7 red lights open at my elgato. As i read that is cause HDCP. The only think that i did not test i the micro hdmi from my camera to hdmi to elgato is old like 1.3 and i have to upgrade it to 2.0 . The other cable is good 3.0 usb to my pc. Any other solution about this? Please i need really your help...
Hi there, Could I please ask, can I dongle up my old Xbox 360 to hdmi, and capture some of those old games with this splitter and a capture card? I never use Sam's smart hub, so I am not sure if I would need to, or not? Thank you so much. Happy 4th of July.
Was using orei splitter to record vids from NF And AMAZ for a video project but the el gato i got stopped communicating with my splitter not sure why or whaa happened
My 1080p PC monitor used to work with my PS4 Slim but after the latest firmware update (ver 5.55 ?), my monitor won't display any picture anymore. Going into safe mode, I still cannot see any picture at all. Do you think it's a HDCP problem? HDMI splitter is hit and miss. Any other solution other than buying a HDTV or borrowing a friend's HDTV? Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you
For me that would be a good solution, but this guy sounds like he does not have a TV. Quoting the first guy - "Any other solution other than buying a HDTV or borrowing a friend's HDTV?"
that doesn't sound like an HDCP problem to me, because booting it into safe mode should reset all of the video settings, and I believe it would then display. What do you mean the HDMI splitter is hit or miss? I have never had a single problem with my splitter, and I have been using it for over a year.
I plug it in and all i get on my capture window is a black screen and my tv flashes. I have gotten it to work by messing with the order if when and how i plus things in but thats not how it should be. No guide on the entire internet says how to diagnose this issue. And if you dont know the answer dont respond, i dont need anyone giving me a false solution
Just to be clear - anyone wanting to record their gameplay to VHS (VCR) would NOT need this since HDCP is removed when going to analog? Is this correct? Or would you still need this device?
Will (one )splitter work to capture game footage or (two)? Do you run from the (game) to the (splitter), and then to the (device) and back to the (TV)?
you can hook it up 2 ways ..... 1: run device to hdmi splitter ... (one) to cap card and (two) to tv-or-2: run device to hdmi splitter .... (one) goes to cap card and cap card goes to tv .... i hope this helps
Once i tried to use a hdmi adapter to dvi and i got input not supported on the ps3. Then a year later, i tried again and it worked. I think its because i jailbreaked it tho
0:44 and 0:55 could you name those two adapter cables (to find on amazon). thanks. And will these plug into the Elgato Game Capture HD carrying sound and video? Thanks again
0:44 is a Playstation to Component adapter cable 0:55 is S-Video to Component adapter cable And yes, both of these cables will come with the Elgato HD, but not the Elgato HD60!
thanks so much! i'm buying a used elgatio hd (not the hd60) so it doesn't come with the ps3 cable. this hopefully does the trick! Edit: when you say S-Video to Component adapter cable, it should still carry the sound, right? (as far as i've found out s-video alone doesn't carry sound)
thank you and fuck hdcp ... for older monitors that don't support hdcp this splitter is gold ... plus i connect the other port to a hdmi audio processor and now i have digital sound also (the monitor doesn't support audio processing from hdmi) so 2 in one :D ... while i understand the anti piracy thing the fact that they simply dropped support for older display models in some devices is unforgivable ...
@@uncannyx Can you tell me if this is still the correct one? It doesn't look right. I ordered the one above and it does not work. It is what it is no worries thanks for helping folks out.
Could this be used to allow an ambilight that normally only works on computer monitors to actually work on a tv? It’s my understanding that it’s the hdcp that prevents the smbilight from working because it appears to be recording when it it is grabbing the info to plug into the light strip. Anyone have an idea?
i'm working on this now. trying to avoid purchasing the hue sync box. instead, i'm trying splitting the signal from my Fire TV stick to my computer and my TV. i'll also need an HDMI to USB converter so that i can input to my mac, since the HDMI ports on mac are only output. i'll then run the hue sync app on my computer, and hopefully my lights will sync to the TV. www.reddit.com/r/Hue/comments/8qk8u2/hue_sync_on_everything/?sort=new
Question - does your TV panel support 4k? if not it never will if tv, sony da 1800es, and fire stick support 4k. - double check your settings on ALL 3 of these. If even 1 is set to 1080 the whole thing is stuck on 1080 This also includes which HDMI port the fire stick is connected to. This can cause issues from time to time as well. Last bit of advice - Buy an HDMI cable rated for 4k. believe it or not but just the wrong cable can cause this issue
I'm using that type of HDMI Splitter, and I notice the longer I use it to record, I end up getting more and more audio lag. Even in my recordings, it seems. Is there a way to prevent that?
do you mean the longer the video, the more it desyncs? i only had that problem when my pc was old ... or the software was just crappy... so i would ask, is your PC capable of recording in such high quality? if yes, what software do you use? if you mean the device is getting worse and worse the longer you have it, i would recommend a new power supply. the only problems i ever had was because of a dying power supply
@@uncannyx The splitter is less than a month in use. I know it can't be my capture card (Pengo) or my recording software (OBS) because I notice this delay only happening when I use the HDMI Splitter. And I only use that for PS3 footage. I can record off the PS4 and Switch just fine, and those I can get without using the splitter; both can just be plugged into the capture card and get recorded.
I wanted to know will this fix the TV screen issues for me? I mean I just started up my HD PVR 2 and when I started recording with the DHCP off my TV screen was really messed up, the brightness was all over the place and the sharpness was just all jagged. Everything was fine on the capturing software though, but it was just unplayable on my TV. Will getting this splitter fix that issue and make my TV playable again? It only happens when I’ve connected my TV and PS4 to the HD PVR.
you will be able to turn HDCP back on and then cap+play on TV, so this might be the solution for you.... but, are you sure this issue isn't the HD PVR 2? I owned an HD PVR and sometimes had issues where I would need to turn it off and on again, sometimes more than once
Uncanny X Why would you need to turn it on and off (your PVR) ? Maybe this could be the issue, but I thought this issue was for everyone though. I can explain it better for you. Basically my PS4 is always set to 1080p and has the best playable resolution when I’m playing in terms of best settings e.g. brightness and contrast etc. After I set up my HD PVR 2 earlier for the first time, I turned off the HDCP on the PS4 and restarted the PS4 so it can connect to the recording software on my laptop to show up which it did, but the settings on the TV had changed drastically. It wasn’t super bad but the contrast and sharpness just looked bad. This only happens when Im connected to the HD PVR, otherwise its absolutely playable. Changing the TV settings wont make a difference as the HD PVR is relaying the footage back to the TV. So this is what I wanted to enquire, what is it that makes the TV screen so messed up? Is it because the HDCP is disabled? Because the video is being displayed through the PVR and not the HDMI? Would the splitter fix this issue so that when I am connected to the HD PVR my TV will run fine again? I dont think this issue has anything to do with my TV. Thanks.
Uncanny X Actually I managed to figure it out, it was my TV settings because they changed whenever the HDMI output was switched. So I changed my TV settings to suit the PVR’s output but the only problem is the doesn’t display the full RGB range for the PS4, even though it is set to FULL. I just need to find a way to fix this.
@@RatedRRaj well it's a start.... does PVR2 capture with HDCP? I only have a PVR1 ... you mean the Haupagge? (spelling is messed up, i know, too lazy to google it)
Uncanny X Yea it captures with HDCP. I don’t really care about using other applications or whatever, just games but I need my TV to its best settings when I’m recording. Thats why I’m thinking of buying the splitter so that hopefully the PS4 will display the RGB to FULL range. Its always on full but as soon as it connects to the PVR2 it only shows LIMITED RGB even if you set it to full. Do you think the splitter might solve this problem? So that the PS4 will still act like its connected to HDMI and not the splitter? Im also trying to find out a way to listen to the PS4 audio on my headphones because whenever I plug headphones into the controller the audio stops getting getting recorded, only the footage shows instead.
I run multiple screens off my pc. I haven't been able to use youtubetv on my browser as it shuts off my older, apparently not hdcp compliant, monitor but my newer tv screen monitor stays on. I watch the streaming tv on the tv screen but I need my other monitor on for everything else. Apparently youtube tv is cutting off outputs to any non compliant digital outputs. Is there any way to perform this stripping for the div signal? Maybe convert to hdmi, the strip, then back to dvi if nothing else?
Hi. Your newer tv screen monitor, is it a TV or a PC monitor? My PC monitor used to work with my PS4 but after the latest firmware update (ver 5.55?), my monitor won't display any picture anymore. It would be a great help if you can answer my question. Thank you, Sir
+ sand wich. Yes the widescreen that I mostly use for videos is a tv and it is new enough to be hdcp compliant. Some say that an actual monitor is better for a pc for things like email and other text but I don't know if it really matters. I bought a tv instead of a regular monitor as I really only use it for video. And it is a tv if I would need to use it straight from the antenna and it also has vga, dvi and hdmi inputs and I use all of them. It does sound like there may have been some kind of change with that update that would now require hdcp. Have you contacted PlayStation to ask them if that is it and if there is any setting that will allow viewing? This hdcp stuff was done years ago and although they knew this would be problems for a lot of us for years, as usual they don't care a whole lot. "Buy new hardware" - no you buy me a new monitor or tv.
Hey buddy. Thanks for the reply. Yes I've called PlayStation. I just did some research and I'm quite sure my monitor doesn't support HDCP because I can't find any mention of HDCP in the specs and manual sheets. It's quite sad because I just bought this monitor last week specifically for my PS4. I also found out that most/some Samsung, AOC (the one I just bought sadly), Acer, ViewSonic monitors don't have HDCP support. Some monitors that have HDCP support are Asus, BenQ, Philips, LG, etc.
