HDMI Splitter/HDMI Switch

Durvelle27 · 12-26-2012, 10:54 PM

I need a HDMI splitter or HDMI switch for use with my 3D projector as it has only one HDMI port. I want to know if this cable would restrict me from being able to use 3D as it's not 1.4. If say could you recommend a switch or splitter that i can use that will work with 3D under $10.

judging from monoprice description of same item "Note that this splitter does not pass the HDCP copy protection information, so it is unsuited for use in home theater systems. Please use one of our powered splitters for home theater applications. "

What about this HDMI Switch ?

Edit: All the HDMI cables that are being used are 1.4a

that switch says it's only 1.3; meaning it's possible that it will allow a 3D signal to go through it but it's not guranteed.

the cable you linked does not do what you need to do, which is to switch input for the projector.

I don't see a wallwart mentioned. Un-powered steals power from the hdmi signal path.

and you also need to get a power adapter, not included in the part list.

as long as you make sure it's 5VDC and the right polarity.

i will

just remember, that one isn't 1.4 either so if 3D is important to you you may be taking a gamble.
