Can I extend my desktop across two monitors with this splitter?
No, this splitter is designed to duplicate the same signal to both outputs. It mirrors the content of your source device and does not support extending your desktop across multiple displays.
How is the splitter powered?
The splitter is powered via a USB connection. You can connect the included USB cable to a powered USB port on your computer, a USB hub, or a standard USB power adapter.
Does the splitter support 4K at 60Hz?

What is the difference between HDMI 1.4 and newer HDMI versions regarding this splitter?
This splitter adheres to HDMI 1.4 specifications, which include support for 4K resolution at 30Hz. Newer HDMI versions (e.g., 2.0, 2.1) support higher resolutions and refresh rates, which this splitter does not.
Can I connect different types of displays to each output?
Yes, you can connect different types of HDMI displays (e.g., a TV and a monitor), but both will show the exact same mirrored content from the source. The resolution and refresh rate will be limited by the capabilities of the splitter and the lower-spec display if they differ significantly.
Troubleshooting
No video signal on displays
Verify all HDMI cable connections are secure at both ends. Ensure the USB power cable is properly connected and the USB port or adapter is providing power. Check that the source device is powered on and outputting an HDMI signal. Confirm that the displays are set to the correct HDMI input source.
Intermittent signal or flickering
Try using higher quality HDMI cables (e.g., Certified Premium High Speed). Ensure the USB power source is stable and sufficient. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate on the source device as a test. Check for potential sources of interference near the cables or splitter.
One display works, but the other does not
Test each display individually by connecting only one display at a time to the splitter. Swap the HDMI cables used for each display. Ensure the active display is not overpowering the splitter's capabilities by testing at a lower resolution.
Incorrect resolution or refresh rate displayed
Check the display settings on your source device to ensure it is outputting a supported resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 4K @30Hz or lower). Verify that the connected displays also support the selected resolution and refresh rate. The splitter supports up to 4K @30Hz; higher refresh rates may not be displayed correctly.
