Default Any HDMI Gurus?

Other than connecting up HMDI devices 1:1 etc, I've never explored the
details of how it works etc- it simply wasn't something I needed
either at home or in my engineering days.

However, now I find myself wanting to do something and, having looked
at the various boxes/gizmos, I'm a little stuck/confused.

I have an TV with one HDMI input and manual HMDI switch with 3 inputs,
on is a Sat RX, one a Media Box, on is spare.Â* The set up works fine-
it is installed in our motorhome (and was worked in our previous
motorhome for 5 or 6 years just fine).

Our new motorhome has HMDI cabling from the TV cabinet to the bedroom
and I'd like to mount a TV in the bedroom so I can feed and HDMI
signal there. Which one I've yet to decide (which side of the existing
switch).

Basically, my question is this, what restrictions are there on feeding
two TVs (or monitors) withÂ* the same signal?, please.


You can get HDMI splitters. Note that some may not support passing
signals with High Def Content Protection (HDCP) - but many do (and
actually strip HDCP in the process which is quite handy).


Some (maybe all?) splitters default to the lower resolution of the two
TVs if they are on at the same time so don't buy a lower resolution one
as the second TV unless you are happy with this.
