HDMI Splitter 1 in 2 Out 60Hz - HDCP Bypass 2.3, HDR, Dolby/DTS 5.1/7.1 - Compatible with Firestick 4k Max, PS3/PS5 & Elgato HD60s/x/Pro, Apple TV 4K, Retrotink, Roku soundbar, NOT for Phone

Paid $30 for this, which is good for what it does. For those of you wanting confirmation, yes HDCP is not an issue anymore ... ;) I use it in conjunction with a capture card in my media PC. Bought a second one as a backup as these are handy to have around.

These work with my setup, running my PS5 and Nintendo Switch to a switcher, to this, to the passthrough for my Elgato 60X, and I don't need to tweak the PS5 settings for the HDMI either. I'm probably still returning this because I managed to acquired one that uses USB C for power and which is advertised as HDMI 2.1, but this seems like a good choice and is cheaper than the higher end one I discovered. Would still recommend this one for most people.(Note that if you're powering the capture card off not-your-computer when you're using the passthrough, and when you plug everything in with this and the contents don't immediately appear on your screen, you probably want to start off by running the capture card to a computer with OBS or something open for the first setup time. Plugging in a different component (i.e. this switcher) in the chain has seemed to reset the PS5 settings to a different resolution, which wasn't compatible with my TV, so it appeared blank, but the source capture on my computer was able to be accepted, so I could see the computer screen and was able to change the resolution into something the TV could pick up. This may just be an issue because my TV is old and only runs in 720p or 1080i, though.)Anyway, would recommend, didn't see any issues with the sound quality or any visual degradation of the HDMI signal when I was testing it.

Product described as compatible with Roku and as HDCP BYPASS. However device does not work - blocks ALL signal to TV. Without this device TV gets Roku menu and media selection screens but when selecting media TV gets sound, no picture except hdcp warning (older Vizio TV). With device, NOTHING comes through to the TV (TV screen says "NO SIGNAL"). Tried output to both port 2 (recommended for single device) and port 1 - no signal comes through on either port.

This is genuinely exactly what I needed. Splitting the output from my Blu-ray player to put out to two separate TVs. Great quality

2nd Update: The customer service has been great. Also, the working port provided clear and stable video and sound including great HDCP 2.3. I'm going to try a different model from the same company!Update: I thought this device was picky about HDMI cables, however after unplugging the HDMI cable from port #2, the bias hum returned to port #1. So, what I originally thought was a port problem is correct. Port #1 has a very bad hum with a Firestick, even with the latest cables from Amazon.One port dead on arrival on 2 units. First unit had a very bad hum on one port, so I initiated a return. Well the replacement has the same issue!!!!! Still looking for a quality product with 2 ports.

Update:April 2025: Bypass for PS3 stopped working for some reason, used to stream fine before. BUT! The company actually offered to replace the unit for free (just from my post on reddit. That is a very good service!)-------------------------My Old review:I was looking for HDMI splitter that would solve my stupid issue that Sony created with PS3 - the protection that won't allow you to stream you console to Twitch/YouTube (black screen if you try), but with THIS splitter I was finally able to stream my games to my friends.Others like Orei splitter and ViewHD didn't work for me. I use Elgato HD60s with this one. Works like a charm.Small manual:-Connect console to HDMI IN-out 1 to your streaming card (mine is Elgato)-out 2 to your TV (this is important if you want to see the picture and not a black screen on your stream)-Power on both your streaming card (mine works of USB-c to the desktop) and the splitter (I use plug, not USB, but should work both ways).Done! Open OBS or your streaming software and enjoy the games!

I am running a Firestick thru it, then into a Cloaner Alliance HD Pro, and everything is recording nicely, so it appears it is doing it's job.

I have a System 369 Arcade unit (essentially a PS3 arcade version) that wouldn't display video compatible with my Taito Vewlix arcade cabinet because of HDCP. This device in-line with the HDMI signal was NOT able to make it work dispite several other reviews claiming it could be used to bypass HDCP for older monitors.
