Breakdown:

📺 HDMI Splitters:

  • Takes one HDMI input signal and splits it in to multiple output signals

  • The signal is mirrored / duplicated, and not extended

  • Useful in surveillance setups, bars, restaurants etc., where multiple display the same video feed

 

📺 HDMI Switches:

  • Allows you to connect multiple HDMI sources (like game consoles, Blu-ray player, etc.) to a single HDMI input on a display or TV

  • Use when or if your TV has fewer HDMI ports than the devices you want to connect

  • Switch between different devices without constantly plugging and unplugging HDMI cables
