HT1551 Apple tv hdmi splitter

I just purchased apple tv and have only 1 HDMI port on my tv which connects the tv to the cable box.   Do I need a splitter to connect apple tv hdmi cable to my tv ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, you need an HDMI switch.

  • Will apple tv work with a hdmi splitter of some kind ? TV only has 2 hdmi ports and both are in use

    will apple tv work with a hdmi splitter of some kind ? TV only has 2 hdmi ports and both are being used .
    If splitter will work any recomendations as to best type to use

    The Hatter,
    I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can.  From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance.  The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs.  Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
    You said I have the 4000 for CUDA.  I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it. 
    A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000.  Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected?  I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
    Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
    So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
    I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are.  I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4.  Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

  • What is the best HDMI splitter for apple TV?

    I need to find an inexpensive, but reliable HDMI splitter.  I have Apple TV and a HD DVR with only one HDMI port in the TV.  Really don't need anything more than 2 inputs.  I was told to purchase a switcher, but I would have to manually change the inputs to go from Apple TV to the DVR. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

    A splitter is meant to be used to send the signal from one source to 2 TV's. A switch is needed to send 2 sources to 1 TV. Splitters may be used for some applications however there can only be one signal present to avoid interference from the other source. Auto switches detect the signal at the inputs to do the auto switching. I have not tested an ATV 2 however the ATV 1 always has a signal present on the outputs even when sleeping. I would recommend you shop for a switch. Many do have remotes but I would look for one you can select the source even if it has auto detection where it is buttons or a remote.

  • Apple Tv compatible HDMI splitter

    Can anyone recommend an HDMI splitter that is compatible with an Apple TV 3rd generation?  I want to put a Sony Blue-Ray Player and an Apple TV on the splitter and connect both to one of the two HDMI switches on my Sony TV.

    What would you recommend in terms of a compatible switch?

  • IPad no longer working with projector and HDMI splitter after iOS 6.0.1 update

    I just installed iOS 6.0.1 this morning.  I use the iPad in my business tied into a projector via an HDMI splitter.
    My projector was working fine, I installed the new iOS, and now I can't get the projector to recognize the iPad output.  Just giving me a "no source" message.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    You can try these suggestions and see if any work for you. The first one is definitely an iOS 6 only suggestion.
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
    Even though you are connected to the Internet, it might help if you reboot your router anyway. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and thenlug it in again.

  • Anyone with experience using a Fosmon 3-way HDMI Splitter Hub Switch Port Cable Cord?

    Would like to feed my new MacBook Pro laptop and an existing Dell Latitude laptop into the same 25" Hanspree HDMI monitor.  Appears that the above Fosmon 3-way HDMI splitter Hub Switch could work since the input feed is manually selectable on the Splitter Hub.  Before purchasing this and accompanying cables, has anyone had positive experience with use of this Splitter?

    Yes, you can connect an HDMI monitor directly up to a 2011 using an HDMI cable.

  • Apple TV HDMI connecting options

    I am thinking of buying an Apple TV box, but do not have any spare HDMI sockets on my TV. I think I may be able to connect via a spare HDMI socket on my Home Cinema system. Is this correct and if it is, will it work in the same way as if it was connected directly to the TV?

    You can get a splitter to do this.

  • Using HDMI splitter on a TV with one HDMI Input?

    Can you use Apple TV with a HDMI splitter for a TV that has only on HDMI input? 

    it's hit or miss many people report issues with such splitters likely a missing or poor implementation of the hdcp is the cause of the issues

  • HDMI Splitter   360/ATV/CableBox

    I was looking for an HDMI Splitter online.  I know that the max speed of HDMI is 10gbps, and most splitters I'm finding, (3 way splitter) are 2.5gbps.
    Is 2.5gbps still enough to have full quality for an Xbox 360 (and possibly whatever the next xbox will be), Apple TV (mostly airplay), and an xfinity X1, all displaying at 1080p?

    read many many many posts about people having problems with the appletv not working with splitters and switches when it comes to hdmi
    but of cause people without problems rarely pop by to say their setup is aOK on the forums
    to avoid splitters I made sure my last tv had 4 hdmi ports

  • HDMI Splitter Issues

    I"m using an HDMI splitter with my Apple TV. Bascially I've run out if inputs and this little device, I think made by Belkin enables me to share Apple TV and DirectTV with one HDMI Input. All content plays fine from Apple TV with the exception of Rented Movies. I keep getting a message that states that my HDMI connection is not supported. Any ideas of what splitter I could use that would be supported? Thanks!

    Hi Grant! When you say "switching cables" to you mean reverse the cables I'm using now? I tried that and sometimes the rented movie plays and sometimes not. Does HDCP have to do with the switcher or the HDMI cables? Thanks taking the time to reply?

  • Hdmi splitter

    I bought a splitter, works great with all devices except you view, phoned humax they directed me to bt I rang technical support they could not help, they sent an engineer who said that because the box links directly to the tv there is nothing bt will do to fix the problem. I asked could bt advise me on a splitter that is compatible with their box. No! The only solution they could offer was to use the scart or disconnect one device and manually connect it when in use, this is not a practical solution.
    According to other posts where people have been able to contact humax they have stated its yv software and the issue lies with the provider. Bt technical support couldn't tell me anything of any use. I explained as a customer the solutions they were offering me to my issue were unsatisfactory.
    Nobody has been able to explain why I cannot use this device even the "engineer" couldn't explain other than it works fine connected directly so either connect one other device via scart or manually switch, I bought a hd tv, 2hdmi cables, bt & yv paid for xbox live bought a hdmi splitter spent a fortune to get told I have to either compromise on the picture quality on one device or go through the hardship of pulling the tv out and manually connecting. This is not good enough!!!
    As humax insist it's bts yv software, bt should be more accommodating to customers, they need to find a solution and to advise customers at the very least that although hd ready they don't support certain splitters and list the ones that they do!
    For a company that is trying to compete with the likes of sky and virgin
    1. Technical support should be able to advise on technical issues
    2.engineers should not tell paying customers to compromise on the service they are paying for
    3.if u can't fix the problem offer some degree of compensation.

    I think I may be able to explain why this is happening. 
    Most HDMI splitters work fine when the HDMI link is not encrypted.
    However, some devices are obliged to use HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to protect the content. This is mandatory for Blu-Ray players and most Set Top Boxes including Sky, Virgin, Apple TV and BT/YouView. The box needs to set up a secure link with the TV to prevent copying and unfortunately most cheap splitters aren't intelligent enough to handle that. 
    I think you'll find your splitter won't work with Sky or Blu-Ray either. 
    Some splitters claim to be HDCP compatible and may work but I'm not sure how well they work and they'll probably cost more.
    I use a Pioneer VSX-2021 A/V receiver which has 7 HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs so I can connect all of my boxes to my TV and my projector and it works perfectly with Sky+HD, YouView, BT Vision and Apple TV so I can watch any source on my TV or my projector (or even both at the same time). This isn't a cheap option though - A/V receivers with two HDMI outputs are likely to cost £400+ but they also offer lots of other benefits including 5.1 or 7.2 surround sound. 
    In this case it may not be BT's fault, although they should have been able to explain this to you. 

  • Connect to hdmi splitter

    I hooked up my apple tv to my tv using a hdmi splitter.  All my devices worked via this.  I then registered device and downloaded new software as it told me.  Now I cannot get anything to work.  My tv is on and does all the set up and such but no picture via setup.  It did this once I did the apple tv update
    What can I do? 

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Do you mean a splitters or a switch, a splitters won't work when more than one device is connected, only some switches will work, you may get those that don't to work by switching the Apple TV/TV off and on once you have selected the correct source on the switch.

  • Dual monitors with HDMI Splitter

    I am wanting to use my ATV 2 at work to run a slideshow on 2 monitors. I bought an HDMI Splitter but it just has a black screen. If I hook up 1 HDMI it works fine. Any ideas?

    It sounds like you are trying to use a passive splitter, which means when two displays are connected at the same time the Apple TV will be trying to talk to two devices at once causing corruption. You might try powering on one device at a time but my suspicion is it still won't work and even if it does you may well experience a degraded signal.
    You probably require a multiplexer which is somewhat more expensive.

  • Splitting Apple TV hdmi to multiple televisions.

    Was wondering if anyone has tried this or has had issues trying this. I want to send my appletv to 2 televisions. One in my living room and the other right on the other side of the wall in my bedroom. I just ordered a pro series HDMI splitter to do the job. I can return the product but just curious ahead of time if anyone has tried this yet. Can't justify another apple tv when in reality there should be no reason why I cant split the signal.

    Unfortunately your situation is different, you are using a tv via DVI and the OP is asking about using a monitor with DVI. Personally I think there may be inherent issues with this set up, apart from the fact that DVI doesn't support HDCP and a computer monitor has an AR of 16:10 and not 16:9, I have to wonder where you would put that software that comes with a monitor which you would ordinarily load onto your computer to make the monitor work with it.
    I haven't actually tried using a monitor so I can't be all that sure, but I'd certainly be cautious about whether this works or not until I'd received information from someone who actually has this set up.

  • Dual LCD (TV's) with sound on both screens. (not using HDMI splitter)

    Just bought a new mini (late 2012 model)
    Is that possible?  One TV via HDMI and the other through thunderbolt (mini display port to HDMI).  I have the mini as the main media player.  One TV is located in the living room and the other in the basement.  I run a long usb extender with a repeater for an extra keyboard and mouse for the basement TV.
    I know I can get an HDMI splitter (sound would work this way) but just wondering if any knows if you can output sound via the HDMI and mini-displayport at the same time.

    I have not had any issue with any brand TV yet
    I dont remember if I tried a sharp on not. I do know that teh several Samasung ones worked fine.
