If we talk about HDMI splitters do you know what we are referring to? The answer should be yes, also because it is a product that is found in most homes where videos and TVs are installed.

In any case, what an HDMI splitter does in practice is to split the incoming video signal, managing to get it to different devices, in other words it allows you to transmit the signal on two different televisions starting from the same source. Said like this it seems a very simple thing, and simple is to put it into action, but in reality this device, for many mysterious, does a lot of work, because each video signal contains a lot of information and not all splitters do the same "job" in terms of resolution, for this reason the choice can also vary according to the technology you have at home. 

In fact, there are two types of HDMI splitters, those that receive the signal and then divide it by releasing it at the same resolution , while those that allow you to have, at the same time, a signal with different qualities dedicated to different technological supports. 

In the first case, the signal will be released at 1080 for older generation televisions and monitors, full HD so to speak, or at 4k for those that are already modern. In the second case , however, the splitters are able to manage several different resolutions at the same time. This second case is well suited to the Sky Q decoder , the splitter allows you to connect the same source to two televisions of different resolutions, one for example in the kitchen and one in the bedroom, without losing quality. In addition, this type of splitter is available with two or four outputs .

Before buying an HDMI splitter, whether it's for playing with a console, for work to project your slides on multiple screens at the same time, or to watch a movie on multiple TVs at home, you need to know the technology you have.
