OREI HDMI Splitter 1 in 4 Out – 4K@30Hz HDMI 2.0 Splitter with HDCP 1.4, EDID Management, and LPCM/Dolby/DTS Audio Support–Compact Plug & Play Design

Works as advertised…..

I used this item for an event recently to distribute various images to various screens. It worked a charm. A few notes:Even if you switch between two active sources, there will be a blue screen in the process of switching. In a dark room with a big screen, this will be almost a blinding light for an audience if switching from a dark source.I did not try the RS232 switching feature. I did not try the remote. However, I ordered this unit for the RS232 switching feature. Perhaps I can update this review after I try both the remote and serial control.The unit looks and feels solid and I enjoyed using it. The metal case is great. I'm looking forward to implementing this unit into a bigger project once I get talking to it with the serial port.** EDIT 1: DEC 15 2024 ** I just had the same event, new year, and the matrix worked great again. I have the same feedback as I have not tried to operate RS-232 just yet.I would, however, like to offer a constructive criticism to the product design. It would be great to have a screen printed I/O listing on top of the unit at the back; with this information listed under the inputs and outputs on the back, there isn't a good way to see it when trying from the front or above the unit to plug things in. I took some board strip tape and manually labeled it on top, but it would be a great addition to the enclosure design.

Allows me to split a signal coming from a video camera to send to multiple TV's in a local children's theater I work with, including one backstage for the performers to see what is happening on stage, and one in the lobby for anyone who comes in late, or might be passing by and is interested to see what the theater is all about.

Works as intended. Easy to install

Works as intended. I've had this for about two years now and use it daily (although I only switch input perhaps once a month. Only one time have I had to power cycle it due to not passing through input. When you need something with this port configuration, this is great. I use it as an HDMI switch and output to a TV and projector. It's perfect for what I need, especially on devices like the projector that only have one HDMI input.

I love this device. I can have multiple consoles plugged in and change which screen I want to play them on. This is especially handy when I want to change my seating location or reorient my viewing angle. Even having screen capture hardware doesn’t require an HDMI out because I just share the needed console to the card and it’s right there in the software. This alone was solely worth the purchase.

If you have lots of TV monitors and multiple HDMI input devices working over the same HDMI cable, OREI components are what you need to make life easier.I have a Verizon FIOS cable box, Panasonic 3D Blue Ray, and recently added a Roku. I have 3 TV’s all on the same circuit, living room- 52” Panasonic 1080&3D Plasma, master bedroom Insignia 32” 720, and old TV in garage. Couple of lengths hit the 25’ mark and clarity is perfect.OREI Splitter is in the attic and splits to all these locations to the TV’s, and withstands the TX heat. In the living room all components are in single cabinet and hook up to the Switch and feed into 1 single HDMI cable that runs into the attic to the Splitter.Don’t be fooled, all Switches and Splitters I found out the hard way are NOT the same. I tried using the Kinivo Switch and it only supported HDCP 1.3 protocol. This did not create the proper EDID HDCP handshake necessary to carry the signal all the way through the Splitter to the monitors for the devices I was using. All Source and Display devices will be different so this switch may not work for you BUT it supports the most protocols I’ve seen in a single device. Do yourself a favor and get this one the first time.OREI supports:HDCP 1.4 protocol compliant3D HDMI 1.4a video format4Kx2K@30Hz1080P@120Hz1080P 3D@60Hz3D formats up to a 297MHz TMDSDigital audio DTS-HD/Dolby-true-HD/LPCM 7.1/DTS/Dolby-AC3/DSDCheck out this site for detail info on HDCP / HDMI Handshake Troubleshooting: [...]My one Con on this product is that it needs rubber feet. This is easily fixed for ~$2.00 by sticking on some rubber bumpers.My configuration only allows 1 signal to all 3 Monitors at any one time and all can be used simultaneously. If you want to select different inputs on different Monitors then you need to move up a level to a Matrix Switch.I would recommend OREI over all brands because of its flexibility to cover most Source and Display devices.

Exellent work good
