So I just got the new HDMI splitter for my Ps3 and and capture card. But every time I plug it in. It just flashes a red light and goes off. What do I need to do about this?
@ZeroEffortVideos I would need a little more information to give you any indepth troubleshooting advice. My recommendation would be to give our technical support department a call.
@sewelldirect nope, this splitter won't handle HDCP. Second screen(TV/capture card) will just flash showing HDCP and that's it. I have same splitter, and my capture card is flashing on and off with HDCP message in the middle of the screen. I already spent 200 quid in order to capture some ps3 gameplay, and I am yet to succeed :D
@muziqaz The splitter does support HDCP, but it sounds like your capture card does not (which is common). I would suggest asking the manufacturer of your capture card if they have information about how to use it to capture gameplay.
@muziqaz Then it is possible that there is something wrong with the splitter. The splitter will take the information from the two outputs (display and capture card) and build a composite EDID based on the capability of the two. It then feeds that composite back to the source (PS3) and your PlayStation should send a compatible signal. I'd recommend setting up a return so that we can test the splitter.
i wanted to connect the avermedia hddvr to my xbox and the to my monitor. so i plugged the xbox into the input and then plugged my dvr and monitor into the output. the capture card showed up on my pc but when i switch inputs to my monitor, it didnt show up.
@thetrackkilla I'm not sure what you mean by that. This splitter just takes a single HDMI signal and sends it out on two different channels. If you need to send signal from the single HDMI port on a PS3 to both a display and a DVR this would work just fine. If you're thinking of something different it may or may not work, you can give our technical support department a call with any questions.

I read on your website that its has HDCP (or some crap) which protects against piracy. My goal for a splitter is to have my xbox running(lag free) on my tv so that i can play whilst simultaneously having it playing the computer so i can record it. The piracy protection wont interfere with the capture card will it.
do you know (not sure that it exist) a splitter that turns a HDMI into a HDMI and a AV cable? i realy wanna have that cuz i wanna record ps3 gameplay (with a dazzle or somthin like that) without having to change to much cables.
@sarranoob Unfortunately not. HDMI has a special content protection signal that has to be stripped out when converting to an analog format. For that reason most HDMI to VGA/RCA/DVI adapters are no longer on the market due to copyright issues.
@sarranoob im not sure if this would work but anyway. if you hook up youre cap device to a scart socket and then have that scart lead going to the xbox that would then run off av. you will need a"Scart Adapter Switchable Plug to Socket" so then that will be running on the av. so now you have youre hdmi cable in the xbox going to the tv running through the hdmi input chanel. so you should be able to record through the av chanal while playing on the hdmi input chanel. not sure if it will work tho
FYI - I used this splitter from my game room tv to an outdoor tv that I just mounted. I used a 40 foot HDMI cable and everything worked perfectly. Unfortunately this was my second splitter purchased. the first one I bought was from a different company and it didn't work. This splitter worked great!
@JR1994997 In most cases you need a powered splitter, there are ones out there that are unpowered and they only bring sound, so do your research before purchasing. You will need a splitter with a built-in repeater if you have excessively long cables (50ft.+).
@arvinda25 yes, you can always look at the SW-28818. It is an HDMi 3x1 Splitter which allows you to switch between 3 different sources and use the same monitor/TV
@sewelldirect Thanks for replying. Since you made this video I purchased this item and currently use it for my AVerMedia HD Capture Card. It works perfect and have had no problems. Thanks!
@eight95630 we used an upscaling DVD player outputting 1080i. its true, we didn't do 1080p in the video, but we guarantee it will work at normal lengths (15 ft) or with a booster if you're going over this much cable. We just wanted to demonstrate that this splitter is extremely high quality, even when NO boosters are present.
Could this split 1 hdmi cable box to 2 hdmi TV's, So i can run 1 cable box to 2 TV,s
