An HDMI splitter is an active device that replicates the incoming HDMI signal and distributes it to two outputs simultaneously. Unlike an HDMI switch (which selects one of multiple inputs for a single output), the splitter sends the same source signal to both connected displays at the same time.
Practical applications include: displaying the CCTV NVR output on a local monitor at the equipment position and a remote monitor in a reception area simultaneously, mirroring a presentation source to two screens in a conference room from a single laptop connection, and distributing a digital signage source to two display positions from a single media player.
The active electronics in the splitter regenerate the signal for each output, ensuring signal integrity at both output ports rather than passively halving the signal power between two destinations (which would cause signal degradation).
Both outputs show identical content: this is a mirroring device, not a display distribution system for different content on each screen. For different content on different screens, separate sources or a video matrix switcher is required.
For AV and security installers distributing a single HDMI source to two displays across London and the UK, the 2-way HDMI splitter provides the powered distribution solution.
Key Features

- Both outputs show identical content at the same time
- Signal regeneration: full signal quality at each output port
- For NVR/DVR to two monitors, or PC/player to two display positions
- Different from HDMI switch: splitter distributes one source; switch selects between sources
- For different content on each screen use separate sources or a matrix switcher
