In our daily life.We will face many question about hdmi splitter and hdmi
switch. The most common is setup question as well as how to use an hdmi
splitter correct etc.
Now there is a strange question. That is can i use the hdmi splitter on a
hdmi switch and still have all monitors detected ?
Certainly,If you use an hdmi splitter, only one of the monitors will be
identified in your OS (it will be up to the splitter to determine which
one).A splitter is sending the same signal to all the monitors. You see
the same thing on all of them.
Having multiple switches or what is known as a matrix switcher. They are
not cheap. If you ONLY wanted two monitors shared by two PCs, you could
get 4x2 Switcher. You would run two cables to the inputs from each
computer and cables to each of the two monitors. You would then use the
remote to select the inputs and outputs from the switch.
Do you have any other questions about hdmi splitter or hdmi switch ?
