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).




Thank you. Is this something which would be mentioned in the spec, please?
Any idea what I should look for or is it as simple as €˜strips HDCP. (I
dont intend to do any copying.)
