NEWCARE HDMI Splitter 1-in-2 for Dual Monitors 📺
Description:
This compact HDMI splitter duplicates a single HDMI source to two displays, making it useful for presentations, digital signage and simple multi-screen setups where both screens show the same image. It supports up to 4K Ultra HD at 3840 x 2160 and is designed for plug-and-play use with a small, portable housing that suits office, home entertainment and travel.
Key Points
The splitter mirrors one HDMI input across two HDMI outputs so both monitors reproduce identical content, not an extended desktop. It is compatible with HDMI 1.3 and 1.4 standards and supports HDCP 1.2 for protected content playback. According to the manufacturer, the unit handles high-resolution video without signal degradation or noticeable delay, and it accepts HDMI cable runs of up to 25 feet for practical installation flexibility. Consider that it requires external USB power for stable operation and the manufacturer recommends using a dedicated 5 V/1 A adapter rather than a TV USB port for best results. 📺
Technical Specifications
Name: NEWCARE HDMI Splitter 1 in 2 out
- Input: 1 x HDMI
- Output: 2 x HDMI
- Resolution: Up to 3840 x 2160 (4K)
- HDMI versions supported: 1.3 / 1.4
- HDCP: 1.2 supported
- Power: USB power cable included, requires 5 V/1 A adapter (not included)
Advantages
The unit accepts a wide range of sources, including Blu-ray players, streaming sticks and set-top boxes, while preserving multichannel audio formats such as DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD and 7.1 surround sound as stated by the manufacturer. Its small footprint makes it easy to tuck behind AV cabinets or to carry between meeting rooms. Setup is straightforward because no drivers or configuration are necessary, which reduces time spent on installation.
Usage Recommendations
For reliable performance, use quality HDMI cables and keep each cable length within the suggested 25 feet. Plug the included USB power lead into a dedicated 5 V/1 A adapter to avoid powering limitations from some TV USB ports, as the splitter may otherwise underperform. If you need two displays showing independent content, note that this device only duplicates the signal and will not provide a multi-monitor extended desktop. 🎯
Technical Notes
The splitter supports common audio standards and protected video playback under HDCP 1.2. If you plan to run two very long HDMI runs or use unusual refresh rates, test the setup beforehand because cable quality and source compatibility can affect maximum resolution and stability. 🔧
