Topfox Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Looking at buying a Samsung Frame for a bathroom setup. Was looking at putting the TV over the toilet. Source would be run off a LU1082. Then I started to think, if someone is going numero 2 they won’t be able to see the TV. I have a side wall that could be a good spot. You would just have to look to the side wall to see the TV when using the bathroom. However then I thought do I really want drunk guys looking sideways while going numero 1? So now I’m thinking about having 2 TVs, but I only have one output left on my LU1082. Was wondering if anyone has experience with HDMI splitters that would be rated up to 4k that could provide AV to both TVs if I were to do 2 TVs. Or if there is a better way than what I’m currently thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Köhler Medientechnik Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I´ve got good experince with the Binary B-260-444-HDR-SP12SA Splitter for these kind of jobs. Topfox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Köhler Medientechnik Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Looks like both are more or less the same kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashwinmj Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I’ve been using this https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Scaler-Multi-Resolution-Splitter/dp/B07F7M1SQL/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=j-tech+hdmi+scaler&qid=1628188534&sr=8-4 and it works great. Although I’m using it as 1 in 1 out, to downscale 4k to 1080p. It’s priced really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topfox Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 I had a Monster 1x2 splitter that is supposed to do 4k. It was like $30. Looks like all my sources (Xbox series X, fios cable boxes and NVR) are working. What’s not working is my 4k FireTV Cube. Going to play with it some more and see if I can get the FireTV to work.

Same kit except the AVPro Edge will actually work.. Don't buy crap from Monster... If you need an inexpensive option buy OREI from Amazon.

Topfox Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 The Monster one was just one I had laying around the house, so definitely was worth a shot. There was a C4 document that listed like 4 splitters that were tested with the system in the context of Compatibility Mode. They were all cheap ones, but I can’t seem to find it every time I look for it for reference. I think it had a Wolfpack and a KanexPro model listed as ones it has tested with the matrix. I appreciate everyone’s input. I have one more thing to try and if it doesn’t work I’ll probably go with the Binary or AVPro device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep... and my comment was aimed at your suggestion of Binary... which is not on the level of AVPro. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Ah, OK - got it. I´ve had pretty good results with them in the past (EDIT: at least for such simple tasks like splitting w/o downscaling). What´s the issue with them? I can get both Binary and AVPro from my distributor so i could easily switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topfox Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 I picked up an AvStar on Amazon for $50. Just finished testing it out. So far it’s working flawlessly. Thanks again everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVPro is the performance hardware. Köhler Medientechnik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said, in terms of hardware and firmware, both the Binary and the AVPro unit seem to be pretty similar, so my guess is under the hood it´s more or less the same anyway. But i´ll have a closer look at AVPro anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
