I want to split my HDMI signal
This requires a Distribution Amplifier - something that takes
one signal in and gives you multiple identical signals out.
You would use one of these where you’d like one source to
be sent to multiple displays.
People also sometimes call these “splitters” as you are in
affect splitting one signal into many. Splitters are more
usually used to refer to analogue audio and video devices
as these can be “split” passively in a crude fashion without
any electronics. A distribution amplifier contains circuitry to
buffer the signal and ensure that each output is the same
as the input. Even if you wanted to you cannot passively
split an HDMI signal (because it is digital) so the correct
terminology is a Distribution Amplifier.
I want to go from a scart to HDMI
That’s no problem, but because you are converting an
analogue signal (Scart) to a digital one (HDMI) you need
an electronic box of tricks in the middle. Although we get
asked many times, it is sadly impossible to simply chop an
HDMI plug off and solder on a scart cable in its place. (OK,
it’s not impossible but it definitely wouldn’t work!). There
are plenty of convertors that will perform this task and also
upscale the analogue video signal as well.
I want to go from an HDMI to a scart
This is possible but trickier depending upon what the HDMI
source is. HDMI from a commercial source (such as a DVD
player or set top box) will almost certainly contain HDCP
copy protection (see info panel) and cannot be converted
back to analogue. If the source is non HDCP (eg camcorder)
then there are several boxes to perform this task.
Can I send 3D HDMI to other rooms in the house?
3D from a Blu-ray player will only work via a correctly specified
HDMI cable or an HDBaseT extender. Lower resolution
interlaced 3D from sources such as Sky will work with almost
all of the other extender systems.
I haven’t got enough HDMI sockets on my TV
In this instance you need a switchbox - something that
will take a number of HDMI devices in and let you choose
which one is routed to the output. Switchboxes can be
automatic (switch to last device switched on) or manual (front
pushbutton and/or IR control).
I want to send an HDMI signal to another room
in the house
There are several ways to accomplish this. You can choose
between:
a) A very long HDMI cable
advantages: Preservation of all content. Some of the other
methods will not send multichannel audio for example.
disadvantages: long HDMI cables are usually thicker and
so unwieldy and difficult to route through wall space and
trunking.
Max length usually 20m. Notoriously unpredictable results
depending upon equipment used. IR feedback will require
other equipment.
b) HDMI over CAT5/6 (baluns)
advantages: CAT5 cable is cheap by comparison and
flexible so easy to run through wall spaces and trunking.
Max length can be up to 60m.
disadvantages: some models do not provide IR feedback.
some models require two separate runs of CAT5.
c) HDMI over HDBaseT Uses different technology to
other HDMI over CAT5 extenders to give amazing results.
advantages: One single CAT5E cable send crystal clear 3D
HDMI at 1080P with 7.1channel audio and also provides IR
control, RS232 and extend your 100Mbps LAN.
disadvantages: relatively expensive
d) HDMI over IP network
advantages: If the IP network is already installed then no
extra cabling is required. Can also be used with homeplug
ethernet over mains adaptors. IR feedback is built into the
unit. Plug and play with no configuration. Other network
receivers can easily be added in different rooms.
disadvantages: The audio output is stereo not
multichannel. The IP router needs to be compatible with
multicast. The HDMI signal is dynamically compressed
(although in practical terms it’s extremely hard to notice).
e) Wireless HDMI video sender
advantages: neat and tidy - no cables to worry about. IR
feedback built in. Easy to move from room to room. The
HDMI signal is uncompressed.
disadvantages: relatively short range, most suited to
within room or adjacent room use.
HDMI FAQ
HDMI 4K Scaler
The SY-4KS HDMI Scaler is designed to upscale 1080p@24 signals to 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) resolutions, or
downscale a UHD 4K signal to 1080p@24 for integration into any AV system. The ability to downscale 4K signals to
1080p is a crucial function when working with 4K sources in a complex AV system and distributing the HDMI sources to
multiple displays which have varying resolution support. This device allows the user to select the highest commonly
supported resolution between source and display ensuring maximum compatibility in any system. The SY-4KS incorporates
two HDMI outputs, one of which is a bypass (input follows output), and the second is a scaled output. The scaled output
can be set to three modes, upscale to 4K, downscale from 4K, or as a bypass output. Both the bypass output and scaled
output operate simultaneously.
