VSP01201 HDMI 2.0 Splitter 1x2 with Downscaler & EDID-Management

One player supplies up to 2 devices

• Allows the distribution of an HDMI source to 2 displays (monitor, TV, projector) or AV receiver, automatic downscaler for Full HD displays with UHD source (2160p to 1080p)
• EDID control for using devices with different picture and sound options (TV Copy, STD 4K fix mode) - You will get the optimal AV format if the best display is connected to HDMI Out 1 and in TV mode
• Supports HDMI 2.0 max. 18 Gbit/s, all resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 at 60Hz YUV 4:4:4 Ultra-HD 4K as well as HDR (HDR10, Dolby Vision) and HDCP 2.2 copy protection
• Supports DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby True-HD (incl. Atmos), Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, LPCM 5.1/7.1, stereo

This 1x2 HDMI splitter delivers the audio and video signal from one source (e.g., Blu-ray player, game console, satellite receiver, streaming box) to two HDMI outputs simultaneously. This allows you to connect a TV and a video grabber or video projector simultaneously and even use them in parallel. No switching is required; the splitter distributes the output signal to both HDMI devices simultaneously. Video resolutions up to 4K—also known as Ultra HD or UHD—are supported on both outputs. The maximum data rate is 18 Gbps.

EDID management

The connected devices communicate via EDID about their capabilities (including supported image resolution and audio format). If you want to operate two displays that support different video resolutions, this splitter makes it possible.

TV: The output is optimal for the display on output 1. The player behaves as if it were directly connected to this display. Output 2 provides exactly the same format. The capabilities of display 1 (audio & video) therefore also determine the output for the other displays. Special case: If the player and display 1 support 4K video resolution, but the other display only supports Full HD, this video signal is scaled to 1080p. (Display 1 still receives 4K). If both displays support 4K, both receive 4K.

STD : In the "STD" position, the splitter provides an artificial EDID that is compatible with most devices. This ensures that you always have picture and sound, but may not be optimal for your devices. This indicates support for 4K 60Hz SDR and stereo.

Please note:

• Many HDMI players also offer a manual selection of video resolution and audio format. However, this usually only allows you to reduce the format.
• A display with an unusual video resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ or for 3D video can be optimally used when connected to Output 1.
• If the player outputs an Ultra HD video to the 4K display, the downscaler is activated for another device that can only handle Full HD.
• As with all splitters , downscaling is only possible from 3840x2160p to 1920x1080p. Therefore, a 1440p computer monitor will display 1080p.
• If the main device forces HDR video output in Dolby Vision or HDR10+, Full HD monitors won't be able to display it correctly. The Full HD image will be severely color-distorted in these HDR formats. In this case, disable HDR.
• Some soundbars only have an HDMI ARC port. This isn't a true HDMI input, but rather an output with an Audio Return Channel! You can't connect such a soundbar to an HDMI output on the splitter. You can only connect it to the HDMI input on the TV, which is labeled "HDMI ARC" or eARC.
• No ARC/eARC (the audio return channel from a TV) is passed through.
