Distributes an HDMI source to two TVs.

The HDMI signal splitter for two Senhodrong CS869H devices was purchased at random. How it works, there is no one to ask. At the time of purchase, the seller also did not have a clear description of the capabilities of the device. And there are no reviews on the product page. Thus, until you experience it in practice, you will not understand what it is. Since the device was purchased in a pile of other electronics from a seller on the Chinese retailer's AliExpress website called Store: Hong Kong Topwin Technology Co, Ltd, the mailing cost was covered by other items. And for the sake of the experiment, I had to take a risk for acceptable costs. The specified seller is decent, packed everything and delivered quickly and accurately, although he ordered a lot of different electronics at one time. The HDMI plug is fine, the cable is short and thick, and its decent thickness is encouraging: There are 2 HDMI sockets on the box: Estimated dimensions next to the SD memory card: There is no sign on the box which way the entrance goes, and which way the exit goes. So far, nothing is clear. Connect like this first. We plug the HDMI plug of the cable of our device into the HDMI input of the TV. After that, we feed a FullHD video signal from a video player with an HDMI output in turn to each of the HDMI sockets of the box. The video signal in both cases quite successfully passes to the TV along with the sound. So, the device works in this direction. But still, this video signal is somehow not as clean as usual. Next, we complicate the task. We connect 2 HDMI signal sources at once, and feed the video signal in turn to both sockets of the box. If the signal comes from one source in principle clean, then from the second it comes with interference until you disconnect the cable of another source from another HDMI jack. Next, turn our splitter upside down. Now the video player sends a video signal to the splitter's HDMI cable, for which we plug its plug into the player's HDMI socket. And already we connect two TVs to the outputs of our box with two separate HDMI cables. Now here's another thing. The signal is clear, it is FullHD. In this case, switching is carried out by the filling of the box automatically, and a full-fledged HDMI signal is output to both connected TVs. Thus, through the Senhodrong CS869H HDMI signal splitter, you can send an HDMI video signal to two HDMI devices at once, for example, a TV in the room and a TV in the kitchen. And get a picture on the screen of both devices, which is quite a convenient solution in some cases. Moreover, if you connect such a splitter to the HDMI DVB-T2 video output of a digital television set-top box such as DNS M013 or similar, then you can connect an HDMI-VGA adapter to one of its video outputs: To which, in turn, a VGA-VGA video cable can be connected to an old computer VGA monitor: Thus, it will be possible to simultaneously connect two screens to the HDMI video output of the DVB-T2 set-top box, one of them via HDMI, and the other via VGA via an HDMI-VGA adapter. And the video signal will be simultaneously output to both devices in high definition. The picture from the set-top box on the screen of a VGA monitor when it is connected via an Onleny HDMI-VGA adapter and a Senhodrong CS869H splitter: If you need to connect up to 4 video signal sources to one TV, then other special switches are available for this, such as the Belkin F3Y045bf HDMI switch.
