Does this send only the EDID you select? To avoid input lag, we want to split the HDMI signal and send one to the TV and one to the receiver. We won't be using the audio from the TV but having both on a regular splitter results in only 2.0 being sent...

While we did no configure it the way you indicated, the full response appears instantaneous so I think you could do it, that is actually a neat way to distribute the signal I think it would probably work without issue or delay.

Think you might have got a bad cable have you tried it on more than one device and checked all hdmi inputs on tv? Unless I got lucky and ran both of my cables the same way they work both directions never heard of a one way hdmi cable before.

David: I only used the cable to go from a splitter to another HDMI tv. I do know that the cable signal only runs in one direction. I ran 100' without knowing that tidbit and had to uninstall the cable and reverse the direction. Once I did that the signal is perfect.

No. It does not split the signal. It's disigned to allow you to have multiple devices that use hdmi ports to go through one hdmi port on the tv. Most TVs only have two hdmi ports. This product is meant to allow you to hook up more devices then tv is made for. Because it's a automatic switch, it will only register the first device that's turned on. To have it pick up the second device, you have to turn the other device off. Any device like this product has the word switch in it, will only be able to control one at a time . You want a hdmi to 2 hdmi splitter.

I actually have the same question. I can say that for a while I was using a HDMI switch and didn't have any difference in lag with it or a straight connection so hopefully this will be the same.

The splitter with deliver the signal in the 720p resolution to the 1080p tv. I know this because when I first hooked up the splitter I had it going to a 720p and 1080p tv. The picture on the 1080p tv was terrible since it was outputting the lower resolution signal. I remedied the situation by replacing the 720p tv with a 1080p tv. Now it works great!

Based on my setup (used for displaying my Xbox on multiple monitors) It sends both audio and visual information. It grants me the ability to use my computer and Xbox on one screen (obviously have to change the input though in order to go between the two) with no issues. So as for EDID info, it does both audio and visual based on what I use it for.

I connect the HDMI output on my computer to the J-Tech and send one output to my receiver and the other to my TV. Works for me. Switch back and forth generally w/o any problems. Very rarely I have to reset the switch by just unplugging and replugging the HDMI cord from my computer. The HDMI output on my computer does not transmit sound, so I can't comment on this aspect. I use the computers' coax and optical outputs for audio.

You may find that only one digital video output is active at a time, due to copy protection laws. (I know this is true for digital sound, anyway.)If so, perhaps you can find an inexpensive device that will split the DVI so that one can go to the receiver and the other to the TV?

I have the HDMI out from my cable box going to my Onkyo receiver, and then from the receiver through the adapter to a projector. Works fine, except for some reason I could not get shielded twisted pair Cat4 to work, only unshielded. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem.

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help. The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals.

All I can tell you is that it works good with Apple TV. I took the digital optical audio out of my Apple TV unit and this unit converted it to analog (stereo). I am not using the HDMI out of the Apple TV unit for audio; I am using a HDMI to DVI cable for the video. Apple TV does send a HDMI and a digital audio out at the same time. Neither one overrides each other. I believe this answers your question. I hope this helps.

It's quite possible. Problem with using multiple video signals is the card will only broadcast in one resolution. You'll have to adjust the video to the receiving box that has the lowest resolution typically. I've used analog and DVI at the same time but not sure why an HDMI connector wouldn't carry a signal out to a third device at the same time.

I'm glad you asked this question because I was wondering the same. I have one connecting AppleTV to a Phillips BluRay Home Theater. In my case there is a delay introduced as time progresses but not when the signal is sent initially. And according to the people who answered before me, it seems that my issue is either the receiver or the AppleTV. In my case I can disconnect the cable for a quick second and reconnect and the lag is fixed. Absolutely strange.

You want an HDMI switch, not this item. This is the opposite of what you want. You want 4 in, 1 out. This item is 1 in 4 out (duplicate displays). It seems your receiver does not have enough inputs and thus one will need to be shared. This is not ideal for a few reasons, but should work just fine. Doing things this way will make it so that you cannot label your receiver input because it represents multiple things. Also, using a switch will probably add a remote to your collection. On the bright side, a switch will be much cheaper than a new receiver. I have not used a switch before so good luck, try this search: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=HDMI+switch You want an HDMI switch, not this item.

I am using it on two TVs. My HDMI cable comes out from the DVD player into the splitter box. From the box I have two HMDI cable which go to separate TVs. It works great for me. I have also used it to stream from my laptop with no problem.

I do not think this is what you are looking for. It won't help with input to the AV receiver. As for the AV output, this would split that signal into two identical signals, and I'm guessing you don't want to put the same signal into both 1 and 2 hdmi inputs on the TV.
