HDMI is now the mainstream interface for entertainment products available on the market. Some users may have multiple sources that need to be connected to one monitor or one input source that needs to switch between multiple monitors. For example, a laptop is connected to four monitors with HDMI. The user wants to be able to support multiple displays, 4K definition, plug-and-play, audio synchronization, and others. The HDMI splitter was invented to solve such problems. When there are issues with these audio-visual electronic products, it will inevitably lead to negative reviews and a reduction in sales.
Issues and Solutions for HDMI Splitter Image Quality
Although the HDMI splitter can output multiple signals to different devices simultaneously, many issues can occur when you want to achieve this. For example, some poorly designed models could have poor image quality due to signal attenuation or noise interference. Sometimes when TVs, projectors, and LCD monitors are all connected, the EDID fails to be recognized so there is no video signal output, which leads to customer complaints. From our testing, we found many poorly designed HDMI splitters. A past client had an issue where the input is a 2K signal and the outputs are connected to 1080P and 2K monitors, the original 2K monitor will only show 1080P. Only when the 1080P monitor is unplugged, the 2K monitor can display normally. This can cause great inconvenience for the user.
After Allion’s consulting team analyzed this issue, we assisted the client by recommending that the input and output terminals read EDID separately and output the highest resolution instead of outputting the 1080P signals simultaneously. If the input terminal is a 2K signal and the output is connected to a 2K screen, it should output a 2K resolution. This way manufacturers can effectively avoid customer complaints in the future.
* EDID: Extended Display Identification Data, a display information standard developed by VESA used to describe resolution, color gamut, and other information
