Simultaneous Multiplexing? Will the two outputs allow 2 different inputs to be routed to each of the outputs simultaneously?e.g. Input 1 routed to output A and Input 2 routed to output B simultaneously?Or can only one of the inputs and one of the outputs be active at any given time?

Yep, I wanted it for similar reasons, among others.Lets let this thread die now...It shouldn't have been revived in the 1st place.

The question is not about listening to two outputs at the same time.The intent of the question is to give myself the flexibility to route one source to a decoder of my speaker system (for example) while routing an other source to the input of my sound card to record it but be able to then switch to that later back to he speaker if I want to listen to it directly. Basically: n-way multiplexing.

Yes it does howerver I cant think of any reason why someone needs to listen to 2 audio outputs at the same time!

I think it may be able to use both outputs at the same time, but only from the same source, not from 2 different sources.Yet to verify it's capabilities...

Yes, it has 4 inputs and 2 outputs. You can run input A to output B at the same time that input C is going to output A.

No, both outputs are identical to input selected. It's not a true matrix switcher. It's basically a splitter. So input1 goes to output1 and 2 or input2 goes to output 1 and 2

that's a good question, I never tried to use both at the same time. there is no input selector so I would expect both inputs to come through at the same time...I'l, have to try it

Yes. Any input can be displayed on both outputs at the same time. For example input 3 has a 1080p Signal and can be displayed on 2 screens that are 1080p compatible via output 1 and 2

I have never tried because I'm only using one output to my receiver but it should work using both outputs to the same input.

Two inputs an one output. The reviewer who stated the opposite is clearly mistaken. The inputs are on either side and the output is in the middle.

I haven't tried. My understanding is it will not allow more than one input to be output together at the same time as it is not a mixer. Ask the manufacturer direct.

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.

If using analog, yes. But if you are using optical out for example to your receiver, then the answer is no. You can only use 1 type of output at a time.

I use it with 2 separate inputs going to one output. I don't know if it works the other way.

Thanks for the question. This 4 zone speaker selector actually has only 1 input. The output is to connect to another selector and then there are the outputs to the 4 sets of speakers. There are models that have 2 inputs so you can play two different sources at the same time in different rooms. Contact AV-Express for more information.

What you want to do is what this amp accommodates. You can use both inputs at the same time. I love mine.

I don't know the answer to the 1st question. 2nd question, it will connect only one at a time.

Thank you Roy and John for your responses. Both replies make sense. I wasn't aware that the cable box had multiple "active" outputs. I assumed that the unit only sent signal out of one output at a time. I'll have to run an experiment. Thanks again for the suggestions! Jack

No. It will not do that. You can duplicate one input and transmit it to two outputs at the same time. You have two different inputs so you can switch between two different video sources easily (by clicking the input button).

The intent for this splitter is to split one signal into two. Sending it to two different monitors. For example PS4 to a tv and a projector at the same time. However this splitter is not even capable of that. The signal dropped out and is unwatchable. You want a HDMI switch not a splitter. Multiple inputs to one output.
