- It can get confusing when you looking for a HDMI solution. Do you need a HDMI Splitter, or HDMI Switcher or even a HDMI Matrix. In this video we will try help clear the confusion between all three HDMI Devices.
HDMI switches, HDMI splitters and also HDMI matrixes are known as HDMI distribution equipment as they route HDMI signals in various ways.

You are a lifesaver, my friend. I watched COUNTLESS videos and read so many tutorials, but it truly took an expert to break down my problem to something as simple as needing an HDMI adapter for my problem.
finally figured out i ended buying the wrong splitter now i know i need a switch for my gaming consoles and the matrix one is pretty cool
Directed to the point, great explanation and showing them in practice. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
This video really helped me out. Didn't know Matrix exist and already planning to buy a Switcher and Splitter and connect each other. Now I can save a money and space with this lol.
This man should teach others how to properly explain stuff 💀

I’m on my 3rd splitter. The first 2 have failed. I use the splitter when running the av (volunteer for charity) for a group meeting once a month. The 4 port splitters don’t seem to last very long. I’ve used them with a good quality surge protector so that’s not the issue. They are great, until they die. I typically keep a spare so I can swap it out quickly and keep thing going.
Very nice. Good recap for me, and fantastic for explaining this to my parents!
This was so EXCELLENT SIR. Very well d9ne. I was boggled by the difference and you cleared it up so quickly 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Very well explained and shown
Hi, thanks for the amazing explanation. I do have a few questions regarding the splitter. If I have for example my gaming console on but I want to display on one display and have the other turned off Is that possible or do I have to have both displays on simultaneously? Because in the video you showed the splitter doing its job of course, but I was wondering if I could have one of the displays off while the input is just outputting to one of the displays, not both at the same time.
Thanks sharing! Was very helpful!
Demonstratio based education is always the best. Thanks for you indebth details🎉
Our pleasure!
I'm looking to use a Dolby Atmos with E arc soundbar ,going to a 4k TV with arc only to enable to get Dolby Atmos. Which box would be the best to use with several connections?
i have a monitor and a pcvr headset and i need more HDMI ports which one would i use?
This video sums up everything!
Thank you, much appreciated
The Maxtrix what is the maxed refresh rate it can handle on 2K resolution and 1080P?
Thanks a lot, it was helpful a lot.
Can you tell me for the Tv model, samsung qe55q60b the best solution for extra hdmi ports?i have tried some hdmi splitters in the past with a negative result, thank you
Thank you, so helpful.
At 3:10, it’s mentioned that Switches can potentially be single input to multiple output: are any switches reversible? Or do you need specific switches that have multiple outputs?
Hi I have a hdmi 2.0 port on tv and I need hdcp 2.2 for 4K . Can I use this where i can connect Amazon 4K fire stick hdcp 2.2 to this device and then can i get 4K resolution
He is a great salesman ❤
Hi sir!!!!So i can take from tv one hdmi to give to a nother tv and to a soundbar????
awesome!
great explanation🍺
How do I connect three monitors with one PC using one one mouse and one keyboard?
Thanks for explaining! I almost bought a HDMI splitter instead of buying a HDMI switcher.
Great video!
Thanks!
Will this work for using a PC extended monitors and mac extended monitors? I would like to use my PC on dual extended monitors, then switch to Mac dual extended, then switch to a game console. The game doesn't have to have dual monitors. I hope this makes sense lol
Thanks
makes sense. i need a switcher lol
Can you also use the switch to have 1 input, and switch between two outputs SCREEN 1 | SCREEN 2?
Yes, he described being able to do exactly what you just said in the video
Can any of these "merge" two input and display it simultaneously on one display by splitting the screen in two sectors? Or you need a videowall processor for that? Kinda miss the old days of split screen gaming. So would like to use something like that on my projector and play a game together with other people using 1 projector and 2 computers.
To splice the content and spread it across multiple screens, you will need a Video Wall Processor.
Hello I looked at both amazon and your website and i can't find the switch versions that support 8k. All of them mention 4k only.
Are the ones that support 8k not available?
Yes we do have them on our website. BK-401A
Can we split the signal by taking one of the outputs from the Matrix device? Also I saw your 8 output splitter using cat, one transmitter and 8 receiver, will that not require an additional network switch?
Also will the resolution adjustment be different for different output devices depending on the device compatibility?
Hi, You can use a Splitter at the Matrix output to split the signal. The 1x8 Splitter over CAT actually doesn't work with a Network switch. The Transmitter and Receivers need to be connected directly. Some of our models do support Downscaling so you will be able to have different resolution on different outputs.
Hello. I have looked online and cannot find much info on the HDMI matrix, but have a question. Will it allow me to ‘extend’ my laptop connection with different monitors, rather than just duplicate what’s on my laptop to said monitors? Thanks
I don't believe it will, it takes one input and outputs it to both screens meaning you wouldn't get a second screen but instead it would duplicate the image from display one and show it on display 2
You need a multi-port adapter. It plugs into your one output slot and makes three separate outputs, then in your settings you just make sure it detects all the monitors and sends the correct signal to each
so if I need two separate monitors to display two separate things would I use the switcher instead of splitter? I have a splitter but is it possible to switch monitors instead of having it repeat the same thing on my monitor? I'm connecting my hp laptop through a splitter and it's just repeating the same output on one screen than for another if that makes sense. I just want to use 2 different monitors in addition to my laptop screen so I can use it as different monitors. what can I do I need help im so confused and I need this for work
Did we watch the same video?...
Is there a function or feature for one of those switch or matrix devices to make the input (source) think the output (display) is still on after switching to another HDMIi source? I have my MacBook in external monitor, keyboard and mouse mode. As soon as I switch the HDMI switch to another source, the MacBook automatically goes into sleep mode when I still want it running to finish its tasks. Thanks
@@OREI-COM Is there a feature or term I can use to identify between these 5 and the many others that you sell that can't do it?
@@OREI-COM I see. So only these 5 switches will do it. Even your more expensive Matrix devices can't.
Is there an s video matrix?
What is the latency of these switches?
which would i use to connect 4 displays to a laptop, to show different windows on each monitor?
Unfortunately, we do not have anything for that.
What you would need is a USB dock to add additional outputs to your laptop. Depending on the specs of your laptop however, you may not be able to have that many stable outputs.
I wonder what the additional latency is for the different functions of the different devices.!?
That would've been very helpful information to include!
Just to let ya know the splitter and switch if powered create zero latency. The matrix I’m not too sure about
Do you ship to Brazil?
Do you have a product that displays 2 or 4 different inputs to 1 monitor
If you wish to display 4 different inputs at the same time on 1 monitor then you can use a Multiviewer.

Why in the heck cant more explanation videos be this simple? Like wow I didnt know the difference and know I do
Can I use HDMI Switch with HDMI Splitter for more than 2 displays? I have 2 input devices and 4 output devices
Yes, you can but for multiple inputs and outputs we have HDMI Matrix Switch. You can use a Matrix to be able to connect multiple inputs and multiple outputs.
Does Orei make any splitter that can actually display 2 different hdr formats at the same exact time? For example can you display dolby vision on 2 tvs and HDR10 PLUS ON THE 3RD AND/OR 4TH TV at the same time?
Hi, currently, we do not have such a product.
Are you asking if the same source can output multiple formats, or if a splitter can show multiple formats?
A matrix would be able to display different formats per output, same as a switch, however, on a splitter, every tv would get the same format.
@Linx_s for example if you have 3 tvs. 2 are displaying a dolby vision hdr format. But let's say the 3rd tv does not display dolby vision. Then hiw does the hdmi splitter display the image when the source that's in the in port is prioritizing the dolby vision hdr format?
I need a analog audio out.
as a newbie, you only explained one end of the wire. you don't share exactly how to connect the source of the hdmi input. does it come from the monitor or is it a connection to the monitor connection on the pc computer.
Hello, im using my iPhone to watch movie to my tv and I got HDCP issue. Will the HDMI matrix will solve that problem? Thanks. Like your video very informative
My commiserations to you.
I struggled for years with HDCP, giving up and then trying again later.
I bought a 4ish Euros SPLITTER from China, not expecting it to cancel HDCP from the output from our cable receiver to connect to my Avermedia 130 DVR. To my amazement it worked and I have a workaround. It is powered from any USB socket.
Not all splitters will do that though, it seems to be pot luck which ones do. I researched and found one that others had succeeded with.
i bought a switch but it doesn't look like it supports 1440p, if it does can you tell me how to do it , I have the BK-21A

i need to make an hdmi output on two different outputs to two different monitors how can I do this?
You will need a 2x2 HDMI Matrix.
www.amazon.com/Orei-Switcher-UltraHD-Supports-UHDS-202/dp/B08FBMKY9T/
is it possible to extend the image? which mean 1 input to 2 output but only show 1 image on 2 screens
I got the same question 😅
You would need a Video Wall Controller for that.

@@OREI-COM thank you
I really really need help, and I hope this channel or someone in these comments can help me, because I'm not a tech genius.
My laptop, an Acer Nitro 5, has only 1 HDMI output, but I need 2 HDMI outputs. I want to stream and make digital art, so I need 1 screen to have the OBS streaming software open which would be my laptop screen, another screen being my Sanyo TV for Twitch/RUclips to monitor the stream, and a third for my XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro graphic design screen tablet which uses HDMI exclusively. I cannot use a USB-C port because I tried to use a Benfei USBC to HDMI extender and it didn't work at all with my TV OR my drawing tablet, the screens just wouldn't turn on or show anything at all. I then erroneously got an HDMI to HDMI splitter that only mirrors displays, it wouldn't extend the displays like I need. I'm nervous about using a USB to HDMI device already having the poor experience with the USB-C not working as needed, and I also have wayyy too many USB devices as it is with my microphone, webcam, ring light, external hard drive, etc.
What I want is a HDMI to HDMI Splitter into at least 2 useable HDMI ports than also extends NOT JUST MIRRORS my displays so I can have the 3 separate screens I need. This device also shouldn't be that expensive, I don't want to pay more than like $40. Somebody please direct me to a device that suits my needs, I would be greatly in your debt!
Unfortunately it is not possible to do as you ask, as HDMI cannot "daisy chain", or send two signals at once with a single output from your laptop. C to HDMI did not work for you because of the way your c port is wired into the laptop. However, a USB c dock, preferably externally powered (not c to HDMI, an actual dock) with HDMI outputs would be your best bet, however on a laptop it will consume processing power as it will not use the onboard GPU to process the images. This is the optimal solution. A standard USB-a 3.0 dock can do the same, with less features. Don't worry about plugging too many things into the USB ports, the computer will know if it draws too much current and will disable things before any damage can occur.
The OREI SplitExtend should work for your intended setup.

hdmi 2.1 standard is rubish as its not really a full standare, to adhere to 2.1 you only have to suport some of the standards. personally i think the hdmi standard is now broken.
HDMI Switcher is the worst product. It's so slow
Can any of these?Can you use to do a triple screen set up with hdmi 2.1
With the products he displayed in the video, NO....This is because The product he displays are 2 in 2 or 2 in 1. BUT he does state that you can get the same product but with more HDMI input and outputs so for your case 3 in 3 or 3 in 1 or 3 in 2 or all the ways they can go.... For your case it would be best to go with the "Matrix" .... I'm assuming since you have so many monitors you also have more than one input device.... So getting a Matrix will future proof you. Hope this helps bud. I just learned about this today lol.
Is there a combination of these tools that can be used to "extend" the display of a computer across 2 monitors/displays? I have a 4x2 matrix and am struggling to get anything other than a duplicate display which is pretty useless for the side by side setup I'm trying to create. Thanks.
@@OREI-COM So, in that case it sounds like an HDMI splitter would be needed to extend the displays after adjusting the laptop.
did you find a solution? I'm looking to buy a 4x2 matrix as well - 4 inputs (2 from PC, 2 from laptop) and 2 outputs (2 monitors), I assumed this would work
Sir. I have two items with hdmi out. One has optical out to a sound bar. I have a DVD player. (Only hdmi) the TV has hdmi am optical in. The second one sounds nice. What do you think
I believe that SIM racers with two or three screens have powerful computer with multiple video out sockets. A lot of money.
