ViewHD 1 in 4 Out HDMI 2.0 18Gbps 1x4 Splitter with Automatic 4K to 1080P Downscaler / 4K@60Hz / HDR and Dloby Vision/HDCP 2.2 to HDCP 1.4 Converter/Model: UHD1X4S

I bought this because I wanted to extract audio while also splitting an HDMI source to multiple devices. It works very well for that. The audio is perfect and the sound sync is flawless. Those are the two biggest things I was looking for.The build quality is very nice and the dip switches were relatively easy to understand.The only minor complaint I have is that when only one TV is on, it changes the device type to whatever that TV is. That could be a positive for other people though. It's a problem for me because of the delay in switching over when a device is turned on or off. My orei 1x4 hdmi splitter handles these scenarios a lot better, but doesn't have an audio extractor.I may ultimately stop using this and just get a separate audio extractor but I don't necessarily fault this product for not being able to completely meet my niche requirements.

I don't write reviews often...let me preface that I ordered 5 other 4K splitters at the time of need and this particular model (including another U9 model) was the nicest build. The material is metal (as opposed to some being plastic) and all of the connections being on one side is a plus. With some other units, I had cables going in and out on both ends and it made for an awkward placement in my media cabinet. There are very bright blue indicator lights that are ALWAYS on when the unit is plugged into power. This was remedied by a piece of black electrical tape.My need for this product was because I have a 2009 Pioneer AVR that only includes a 1080p output back to the tv. As such, I needed to be able to split my 4K video signal from my Nvidia Shield Pro (2019 model) to both my 4K Dolby Vision TV (Sony X900H) and also passthrough the HD audio (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-MA) to my receiver for processing.The bottom of the unit has printed scenarios and indicates the various rocker switch configurations depending on your needs. My setup above required the 4th configuration. In summary, I had to push the EDID switch down from "AUTO" to "OUT1" and the "AVR" switch and the "4K TO 1080p" switch needed to be ON.Once I did that the Shield/TV indicated that Dolby Vision was available and asked if I wanted to use it. After a few seconds, the Shield properly output Dolby Vision to the TV. I was able to check this in both Disney+ content and also files I have on my media server playing back within Kodi (Leia 18.9 build).I've watched a few films thus far on the Kodi and finished watching WandaVision on Disney+ and the U9 ViewHD UHD1X2SA simply works. It allows me to continue receiving HD audio from my older AVR while getting the best picture possible from my Shield and 4K TV.I reached out to customer service twice as I was unsure of which model I needed to buy in order to get the results above. I received an email the same day and was told the ViewHD UHD1X2SA was the way to go for my setup. The customer service even went as far as calling me to discuss my setup at length. Upon receiving the unit I didn't get the rocker switches correct and reached out to customer service once more. They advised the same day how they needed to be set up and I was good to go.I would highly recommend the ViewHD UHD1X2SA if you need a high quality 4K splitter with great customer service at a very good price.

works well but takes about 8 seconds to configure signals. overall does the job.

I had an issue with projector getting a signal from my receiver. I have a 35 foot cable and it suddenly stopped working. I was searching for an amplifier but found this product instead. I also have a monitor next to the receiver so I can trouble shoot issues with my home theater setup. My projector works great and now so does my monitor. The build quality is great and this is just plug and play.

I am writing this review to help clarify the HDCP stripping capability of some U9 ViewHD products. Notice that the “Capacity” description in the Amazon review headers vary, since reviews for different U9 ViewHD products are grouped together. This grouping can lead to confusing one product’s capabilities with another’s. (Hence the need for spelling out the model description in the review.) I have tested three U9 ViewHD products and here are the results.“ViewHD 2 Port 1x2 Powered HDMI 1 in 2 Out Mini Splitter for 1080P & 3D | Model: VHD-1X2MN3D” – purchased in 2017, passed through HD signal without HDCP in the output. (Nice.)“U9 ViewHD Latest 4K 1x2 HDMI Splitter 1 in 2 Out EDID Xbox PS3/4 Roku Chromecast Shield Fire Stick Apple TV Blu-ray Dual Monitor Display | Model: U9-Pluto” - purchased in 2020, passed through HD signal without HDCP in the output. Note, the USB power input for the U9-Pluto model is only needed in some applications (not sure which), and this splitter will work without the power supply for other applications. Mine worked without the power supply to split a 1080i, 5.1 audio signal.“ViewHD UHD1X2SA 1 in 2 Out 1x2 HDMI 2.0 HDCP 2.2 Splitter with 4K to 1080P Down Scaler and Audio Extractor | 4K@60Hz | HDR Dolby Vision | 3.5mm / Optical and HDMI Audio Output to HDMI AVR Receiver” - purchased in 2020, passed through HD signal with the HDCP info in the output. So with the UHD1X2SA model, you may get a blank screen with some applications due to the HDCP. Perhaps this is what is meant by “Does not bypass HDCP” or “HDCP compliant”.Note that all three devices worked well for their designed purpose and had a good build quality. The VHD-1X2MN3D purchased in 2017 is still working (in Nov 2020).
