Review on TESmart 4K HDMI Splitter 1X4 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 Powered 1 In 4 Monitors HDMI Splitter For Ultra HD 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 Compatible With PC PS3 PS4 Xbox-HDMI by Alexandria Richmond

Can display PS3 but not record

As many people know, HDCP protection makes it impossible for a person to record anything that uses its protection with a digital signal like HDMI. The PlayStation 3 is a little notorious for its HDCP protection covering everything, not just a specific app. This means that capturing gameplay from a video game is not possible unless (a) analog signals such as composite and component are used, (b) an HDMI 1.4b splitter is used, or (c) the PS3 HDCP -Protection is removed by hacking debugging. I mention this because this device is advertised as compatible with PS3. While technically correct (it displays well) I should mention that it can't take any of that with this device, lest those in the know buy it for the wrong reasons, hence the star deduction. want to update the "Customer Service Card" in the field to describe it correctly. At least it has a nice design.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Anything I can add
