I get it- it's a splitter, 1 to 2, but will it also switch between devices, 1 to 1 or 1 to 2? (to preserve data output/density)

There is no switch; if you want to stop the signal to a connected device, unplug it. It works the same with either one or two devices connected. With HDMI, there is no need to preserve data output/density - if the signal is strong enough to get through the connector (hence the amplifier) and generate a picture, the picture will be as good as the picture that entered the connector. It doesn't matter whether the connector is a $2 Monoprice or a $100 Monster. As one who lived during the analog pre-digital age, I certainly am glad to leave behind the constant striving to improve the quality of the received signal versus the originating signal.

What goes in comes out on each port. There is no switching - it sends to both ports. Splitters replicate and regenerate the signal not split the signal to something less than it was before. There is no drop down from 1080 to 720 if that is what you mean. You will experience more data loss issues in the cables you select and the length. HDMI is very sensitive to both of those. For regular HDMI cables, two 6ft HDMI cables and a splitter in the middle will do better than a single 12ft HDMI cable for example.

No it's not possible paring more than one at the same time, you should discconect the current device if you want to connect a different device.

This is a splitter, not a switch.For two computers to a single monitor, you need a switch.

it should, the splitter will only read 1 connection at a time. use an ab switch.

Mine switches automatically. It reads one device. If you turn on another one, that one takes over. When you turn it off it goes back to the original one, or you can leave both devices on and use the remote to switch between the two. One of my two HDMI inputs on my tv stoped working, so this works great for me.

It turns two hdmi inputs into a single input. It has a selector on the device that let's you switch between input 1 and input 2. So it's not technically a splitter since you have to manually switch from one device to another. Easy to use though, I enjoy it.

Sorry never used it as a splitter before. Basically needed it to power a external harddrive on my older computer. The USB adapters on it didn't have enough power on a single adapter so I needed to plug it simultaneously into two ports to get the power it required.

Don't know - I believe it is set up for 1 input & 2 output. - not 2 input & 1 output

A splitter splits the signal ( like I have a 1 to 3 splitter that sends the 1 signal to 3 sources )This is a switch, or switcher, or ..."3 gadgets-into-one-thingie "So what you need it for ( to connect a Blu Ray and Genie to the TV ) it's perfect, and you still have room for one more HDMI input.

Yes, it does, but you have to run it through a USB hub to switch more than one device at a time. It just has one USB line in and one USB line out, and you can connect two or more devices to the USB hub and run the output of the hub through the switch.

If you're trying to hook up multiple devices at once, yes. It also switches to the device when it powers on or you can manually switch them.

You would have to use a simple splitter. Only one of the two outlets is controlable.

This is a splitter, which will only branch the same image to both of your TVs. What you're looking for is an HDMI Switcher that has one HDMI in and 2 HDMI outs. Switchers come with a button or switch on the box that usually change the setting between sending out through port 1 or port 2, and sometimes come with the option of both ports or neither port. Switchers can also be found with remote controls. I have a Sewell Direct Ibis, which I believe will do exactly what you want, although it does not come with a remote control. The Ibis is also available in a 1x3 if that interests you more than the 1x2.I hope this helps. This is a splitter, which will only branch the same image to both of your TVs.

I have 2 phones paired to this device, feeding into one receiver. I switch between them all the time. I have never tried to run both at once, I don't know how it would react.

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

You need a switchbox for two inputs. this is intendedto go from one output to two. If you run it the other way and both units get turned on at the same time you risk damage to your equipment.

This is a switch which lets you select between various video sources, not a splitter to send the same signal to different places. You want the latter.
