HDMI Splitter Fundamentals:
1) HDMI Splitter doesn't change/modify HDMI signal format, the output signal is identical to the input signal.
2) When only one of the two TVs at the two splitter outputs is on, for example: the A/V source is a blu-ray, and display is a 1080P TV. Then the HDMI signal (containing audio and video streams together) will be running at 1080P, and the audio will be the highest audio format supported by the TV.
3) When both TVs are on, because there is only one A/V source from the blu-ray, so the blu-ray will only supply the commonly acceptable A/V format for both TVs. For example, if one TV is 1080P, and the other is 1080i, the signal format will then be at 1080i, so both TVs can work properly. Same principle applies to 3D, to get 3D, all units connected to the outputs of a HDMI splitter must be 3D compatible, otherwise, the HDMI source unit will not send 3D signal (it will complain no 3D display detected).
4) Example of incorrect setup: some user connects blu-ray to the splitter input, and then connects one output to TV, and the other output to surround receiver, then complains that the splitter doesn't support advanced audio. This is not the fault of the splitter, this is what you suppose to get. Because in such configuration, the audio format is limited by TV, because both TV and the receiver has to understand the same audio stream, the blu-ray will provide the basic audio stream understood by the TV, regardless how advanced the audio of your receiver and blu-ray disc are capable of. All the decisions are made by the HDMI unit at the splitter input, the HDMI splitter has nothing to do with A/V format received by TV or receiver.
5) To enjoy HD / Advanced Audio, the correct setup configuration is: blu-ray to receiver to HDMI splitter to TVs. So that the HD Audio format can be determined by (receiver + blu-ray + disc) and the video format can be determined by (TV + blu-ray), (audio is taken care by receiver, and video is by TV) thus avoiding audio format to be limited by TV audio capability. Such configuration enables the enjoyment of the best of both worlds: Video and Audio.

What is EDID?
EDID stands for Extended Display Information Data. This is the data contained (usually in a small EEPROM) on each
The source device checks the display's
An EDID PROM is used only in sink devices. An EDID PROM sits on the DDC channel and uses a 2-wire I2C bus (part of the DDC specification from www.vesa.org) to communicate from the sink to the source. The EDID PROM contains information about the sink that it resides in. Its job is to communicate the preferred (or supported) video and audio formats and resolutions to the originating source. As an example, when a
