HDMI Splitter?
Posted on 12/23/14 at 9:58 am

I am considering adding a TV to my back deck, but would like to split the HDMI from the receiver in living room to maintain access to all components. Any recommendations?
Also, I currently have a 30' HDMI cable from receiver to main TV, I would need about a 60' or so to get to the back deck, any other options?
ETA: The splitters I see are for splitting input, not output.

Distance is an issue. Are you trying to get 1080p out there? If so you are probably going to need a powered HDMI balun behind the splitter. The nice thing about a balun is that you use CAT5e or CAT6 for the run to the back of the TV. You'll need two power outlets at the TV location.

yeah, 1080p, I mean if there is so loss, no big deal.
10-4, I'll check that out, thanks.
The porch location is closer to the computer, I may be better off going that route, but its nice to have access to central TiVo DVR.

I got my dad set up with a "wireless HDMI" box. Your main TV essentially has HDMI passthrough and the extra TV can wirelessly stream whatever the main TV is watching. Theres a slight bit of delay and he sometimes has to unplug/replug the little box to get it to connect, but if you don't plan on using it that often it may be a decent option. Distance is an issue with that as well, and you don't really want a lot of walls in the way. I don't remember exact pricing but I think it was under $60. Just a thoughtt

I have a matrix splitter from monoprice
It allows for 4 inputs and 2 outputs
A big positive with the matrix splitters is that the 2 outputs can have different inputs at any given time

I have one on my patio and like it. I have the DirecTV genie and can use that remote to change the channels even when I'm outside.
