OREI BK-22 8K HDMI splitter 2×2 with Dolby Vision 📺
Description:
This 2-in 2-out HDMI splitter lets you switch two sources and show the selected input on two displays at once, useful for dual-screen setups in living rooms or small presentation spaces. It supports high refresh rate formats so you can send a 4K@120Hz signal or an 8K@60Hz feed to both screens according to the connected equipment and cable quality. If you need to mirror consoles or media players across two screens, this splitter handles formats used by modern gaming and AV devices 🎮.
Key Points
The unit mirrors one of two HDMI inputs to both outputs, it does not extend the desktop or produce independent content on each screen. Both outputs must support the same maximum resolution and refresh rate simultaneously, so check display capabilities before use. Note that the device does not extract audio separately; audio remains embedded in the HDMI stream. A front-panel switch lets you change sources quickly and the box includes automatic EDID management to help match source and display capabilities.

Usage Recommendations
For reliable performance use high-quality HDMI 8K cables of less than 30 feet where possible, especially when sending 8K or high refresh rate 4K signals. When connecting a PS5, Xbox Series X, or a 4K Blu-ray player make sure both displays can accept the same resolution and HDR format to avoid mismatches. Dolby Vision and HLG pass through on supported devices, but note that some advanced HDR metadata behaviour can depend on the source and display processing.
Positive Aspects
The splitter offers broad compatibility with common platforms such as Windows, Mac OS, Linux, streaming boxes and gaming consoles. Its automatic EDID management simplifies setup for many configurations. It is compact and rack-free, which makes it easy to integrate into a media cabinet or AV trolley. The unit includes a 5 V/2 A power supply and comes with a one year warranty from the manufacturer according to the documentation. 🎬
Nuances and Limitations
Consider that the device mirrors content and does NOT extend displays. Both output screens must accept the same resolution and refresh rate for the best result. Also, the splitter does not perform audio extraction so external sound systems will need to take audio from the display or source device. Manufacturer notes recommend quality cables and compatible displays for the highest resolutions.
