When choosing a splitter, make sure the output is at the resolution and frequency you want. For example, a boardroom presentation might include Powerpoint slides and video from a streaming service like YouTube or Vimeo. A matrix switch has multiple inputs AND outputs. For example, a 9x2 matrix switch has 9 inputs and 2 outputs.
Another variation on the many-to-one theme is the Multiviewer , which consolidates a number of video inputs on a single monitor. Multiviewers are found in broadcast control rooms and video surveillance systems. No, an HDMI splitter takes one video signal and replicates it to multiple displays so each display shows the same image.
This is known as "mirroring". Here are your options for extending your desktop:. A power surge is typically a brief increase in voltage due to, for example, an overloaded circuit, power outage or lightning strike.
A surge protector detects excess voltage and safely diverts it through the building's grounding system so it doesn't damage connected equipment. HDMI surge protectors are intended to supplement primary surge protection and are installed "in line" between a video source and display.
Important: surge protectors do not provide two-way protection against power spikes. If you want to protect both source and display, you should install two surge protectors: one with its output facing the video source and one with output facing the display. Do in-line surge protectors degrade the HDMI signal?
All in-line surge protectors introduce a small impedance into the line and a capacitance across the line. An HDMI signal includes both video and audio, which is convenient because you need only one cable to connect a cable box, game console or streaming device to your television. But if you want to play audio through an older analog sound system that doesn't have HDMI support, you will need to separate the audio track from the video.
That's where an audio extractor comes in. Depending on the capabilities of the audio extractor, you may have the choice of compressed or uncompressed LPCM audio outputs, for example, 3. When buying an audio extractor, make sure the video and audio output formats match the capabilities of your television and sound system.
HDMI has been widely adopted by consumer electronics manufacturers. If you need to connect a Blu-Ray player, cable box, game console or streaming device to your television, HDMI is the logical choice. Your options for connecting a computer monitor to your laptop or desktop PC may be less clear.
Which one will give you the best results? In terms of image quality, there isn't much difference. DisplayPort 2. However, if you need multiple displays, you can daisy-chain three 4K monitors 90 Hz or two 8K displays Hz. With 8K TVs and cameras now readily available, first adopters are turning their attention to even higher resolutions, including 10K and 16K, and refresh rates above 60 Hz.
Bandwidth is the biggest barrier to higher resolutions and refresh rates. Ignoring all of the extra data layered on top of the video itself, the simple formula resolution x refresh rate x color depth adds up to a lot of bits which need to be moved from a video source to a display. An uncompressed 8K, bit color video signal at 60 Hz needs almost 50 Gbps of data bandwidth.

Also many new facilities and capabilities need to be controlled. To keep up with these advancements several HDMI versions have been launched.
One major advantage of the way that HDMI has advanced through successive versions is that the same 19 pin connector has been used and the versions have been backwards compatible. Although the same basic connector has been used for HDMI, the many updates to the standard have been difficult to track.
All the time it has been keeping up with the requirements for audio visual data transmission. New televisions, computer displays, DVD recorders, computers all use HDMI, and as updates to consumer equipment occur relatively rapidly, they will normally use the latest HDMI versions, or at least ones that will be able to accommodate the latest features. Initially X was the figure 1, i.
HDMI versions 1 and this was followed by another figure and this was increased by 1 for each revision. In other worlds HDMI 1. On occasions very minor revisions were indicated by a letter suffix. One example of this was HDMI version 1. These minor version revisions were possibly to clarify a minor point or include small testing changes or additions. In view of the fact that it was being managed by a different body, the version number was raised from 1 to 2 reflecting the major change.
Now it is able to support the latest video standards whilst also incorporating many new functions and capabilities. HDMI is available on virtually all new televisions, and television associated equipment.
It is also being used increasingly for display screens including computer monitors where it is present along with other interfaces, but being used increasingly. Many other items including projectors and many other devices have HDMI incorporated. Although many of the features in the later versions of HDMI may not always be applicable, it is always checking that the HDMI interface in any equipment is the latest version, or at least one that provides the required capabilities.
HDMI Version 1. The key HDMI 1. Audio and video interface that provided transfer of standard and high-definition video Provision for up to 8 channels of uncompressed digital audio Data transfer up to 4. HDMI version 1.
