Hello, i read in an article that this splitter can strip the HDCP protection - is this true because if it is then i will purchase it

The version I received does indeed strip HDCP. However, there is no 100% guarantee (although very likely) that the one you'll receive will do the same.

In theory, yes, as that is what powered HDMI splitters are supposed to do...take the original signal and amplify it so a clean signal gets to multiple devices. In practice there are sometimes problems when connecting to equipment that is several years old as they may not have implemented the later HDMI standards. For instance, I wanted to send HDMI to a new tv at the end of a 50 ft hdmi cable as well as a four year old 'smart tv' adjacent to the dish receiver. Both tvs would get the same channel although only one would be turned on. The splitter worked fine for the newer tv, but the older one would never have audio UNTIL power was cycled on the splitter. I tried several splitters .... all exhibited the same symptom. Apparently the older tv didn't have the same interface standards as the newer so I do not think ANY splitter would have worked as I intended. Bottom line is you just have to try it. Chances are it will work.

The device complies with HDCP copy protection so it will not work if copy protection flags are present in the digital signal. This is likely the case with all or much ofd the material transmitted via Direct TV but feel free to check with them. Even analog may be protected. Again check with Direct TV.

Your HDMI cable may not send the information, use one with audio return and internet capabilities. If you have it hooked to a cable or satellite receiver they (nearly all Directv and some others) cannot send the required signal, it's not the splitter, rather it's the unit hooked to it. If your signal is coming from a DVD, Blue-ray etc it should work. Check to see if the receiver is showing PCM or something else as an input source signal. The receiver should be able to decode the signal from the source via HDMI as long as the signal is provided to it at the input. Just a side note, if you have a DVR or other device as a source run the splitter directly from this device to the splitter and then to other devices such as a second receiver or a TV. If you run it to the TV then to a receiver or other device you may run into a problem as many TV's do not send the required signal out (even if it says the TV does or does not address that issue). Good luck, I know the units should send the signal but, you can email J-Tech if you can't find the problem and they will help, or send you a replacement if it is defective. However, I have several friends who have purchased the J-Tech on my advice and ALL their minor problems dealt with issues other than the splitter. On one system I had to turn everything off and hook up the connections then power up the connected devices then the splitter; it was an ARC problem but, that seemed to cure the problem. Again, good luck.

I have mine running though my Onkyo TX-SR705, which to my knowledge utilizes the HDCP handshake and never had any issues whatsoever. I get full 1080p video output as well as full high def audio without fail.

I used this to do a MoCa network for my Tivo. I tried to upgrade my splitters to 2GHZ Monster splitters and I started to have my internet modem drop out every so often. I use Comcast, A Comcast tech came out and said 2GHZ was not needed so he replaced both of them with there own 1000 MHZ splitters. It has only been about a week and a half and no drops so far. The connection does include the same POE Filter both times. As far as the MoCa networking signal I have had no problems when the modem has been up and have had a great signal with no pixellating or judders in watching tv shows from one Tivo to another Tivo in a different room.

Yes, but it's either/or. Only one connection works at a time (A or B), not a splitter but a switcher.

THIS IS NOT A SPLITTER. a splitter takes one devies ie, cable box and splits it on 2 or more outputs. ie 1 hdmi IN and 2 hdmi OUT..... THIS IS A SWITCH. hence it switches. it has 3 hdmi IN and 1 hdmi OUT that you manually switch the sources

The box will not convert signals that have HDMI copy protection present such as bluray disc players etc. It is only for converting non-HDCP signals such as computer graphics equipment, etc.

Yes. This splitter allows one Cat5 cable to be used as if it were two. Keep in mind, when you split the cable, you will only be able to connect devices at 100Mbps. You will not get 1Gbps anymore.

No it does not. I just recieved mine today and does not strip HDCP. Total loss today...the war is not lost though!

Yes..and be sure that you get a splitter that is designed to handle HD signal..

I would advise against cascading splitters. This device is stable and successfully splits the signal to multiple TVs in my home but it seems to require that I reset it every few weeks. Periodically, one or more TV fails to receive a signal until I reset the unit that splits the DVR recorder that sits in a central network room in my home. I suspect that noise might be introduced by a device or splitter that causes signals to be lost. I think you would be better served to use an 8-port unit (OREI HD-108). In my case, other family members cannot trouble-shoot problems and have to do without the feed until I reset the unit. This may not be a concern for you.

You need a HDMI splitter, not this which is a switcher. A splitter splits the signal to two (or more) monitors/TVs/projectors, so all work simultaneously.

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.

No the device will not provide HDCP so any output applicaiton that requires it is not going to work. I HAVE used this on an Apple TV but I have not tried watching rentals with it, I only used it for the slideshow use, and it didnt adapt to the geometry of my screen very well and so I moved on pretty quickly.

The splitter with deliver the signal in the 720p resolution to the 1080p tv. I know this because when I first hooked up the splitter I had it going to a 720p and 1080p tv. The picture on the 1080p tv was terrible since it was outputting the lower resolution signal. I remedied the situation by replacing the 720p tv with a 1080p tv. Now it works great!
