This is incredibly useful to know....I didn't even know that kinda thing was a problem, but now all those negative reviews of capture cards "just not working" make a lot more sense. Thanks for the video.
Great stuff, think it depends on what is connected, sky Q, Nintendo wii all good. I purchased a matrix switcher which would of solved multiple problematic issues, however the input did not like AV digital adapter to hook phone direct to monitor, however a switcher brand that was 3 in, 1 out had no issues but it meant I had to use 2 of these units to overcome problem, this was an issue as more USB 5V supplies were required. Also I noticed splitters for dual screen output were not happy feeding two switchers, if one was changed to A different source, both screens would disable for some reason, ok for just solely having an input to 2 monitors straight in. HDCP is hit and miss from experimenting. My experiment was for 2 monitor independant switching, mainly for screen mirror/cast dongle and straight in AV digital adapter. Any advice and expertise greatly appreciated.
Hey, can I ask -- how do you record 5.1 audio when you are recording 1080p? I've got an Elgato card, but it records stereo. Have you figured that out yet? I wish capture cards would record the games in 5.1 audio-- where I can listen to it on surround sound.
I don't think gaming capture cards typically support 5.1. I think the Intensity Pro 4K cards I have do, but they can't be used for gaming capture if you need passthrough.
Thanks. My needs are similar to gaming but more like 1080p24f with surround. But, thank you for a great video, and I appreciate the response. I am really trying to figure this out, but it's kindof hard to find cheap answer.
Hi There are many HDMI splitters that bypass HDCP, but non of them will bypass HDCP v1.4 and up like 2.2. Does this bypass HDCP 1.4 or 2.2? To test if it does, try recording a video out of Netflix using the Xbox If it works, than the suggested HDMI splitter is really different from all the others which are useless for Netflix Please let me know Thanks
I've just found out that one of the cheap splitter I got actually works, thanks to your video! it turns out that you cannot just use one output of the splitter, as you mentioned, you must hook the output #1 to a HDCP compliant display and then use the second output for the capture card. I never tried that until watching your video. Now that I got my cheap Avermedia capture card to work, I'll buy a more advanced one with 60p and 5.1 audion support, like this one: www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/products/data_hdpvr2plus-gaming.html Thanks!
Nive video but I have a question I have a 4k TV with 3 hdmi inputs and I want to buy a 4k HDR blue ray player would I be able to watch 4k movie if both my TV and blue ray player are 4k
1. Would this method work with any splitter? I never thought that you could do it to where you could "trick" (for lack of a better term) the HDCP to let the other inputs display the signal to whatever you want by making sure the first input was to something that the HDCP recognized as okay to display. But I have also seen how much that splitter you shown is (70 some bucks), so want to know if this is true with all splitters. 2. For many gamers that stream or record their game footage, the one system that gives them fits (and where this would be extremely needed) is the PS3, since you can't turn that off, and it's built into the hardware of the system. In other words, nothing even Sony can do about that. Would this method work with the one system that Sony didn't think through about game capture?
JD Shadow not all splitters work they have to have dhcp stripping in it and a lot get firmware updates to take that out so it’s a bit of a lottery to find a splitter that works with hdcp 2.2 and yes they work with PS3 :)
Dude i have question, If the splitter is the one who removes the HDCP, then it shouldnt be connected before the Switcher? I have a switcher with HDCP issues, when I connect the PC or a video console , It shows a black screen. Whit the Pc is even weird, It shows the screen normally, if I switch the input selected and then return to the PC a weird screen full with small black points moving is displayed. So, if the Selector is outputting like that,the signal at the splitter It not will be recieved with the same problems?
Sorry it's taken so long to get back. My PC has been out of commission with the new Creators Update forcing multiple re-installs. The issue you're having sounds like a problem with your monitor, or the cable you have isn't sufficient to decode HDCP content. With a monitor, you should be using DisplayPort if possible, but if you must use HDMI, a splitter *_could_* help. I wouldn't rely on that though, as a computer does a lot more with switching and turning off the signal that a TV doesn't. Honestly, you probably won't be happy until you get your monitor situation figured out. Good luck!
Tech-Know Scope Thank you so much! Im confused on if i need a splitter and a switcher? that has hdcp passthrough and if i want to record nba games do i have to record from a cable box? can i rocord from a roku or a xbox1..THANKYOU SO MUCH
You only need a HDMI switch if you're trying to connect multiple devices to a single HDMI port. If you want a roku and Xbox to both connect to a TV with only one HDMI port, you would use a switch. If you had multiple TV's, and you wanted your Roku to display on all of them, you would use a HDMI splitter. If you wanted to be able to use either your Xbox or your Roku on multiple TVs, you would need both a switch and a splitter. If you have a HDCP source, and you were trying to record the source or show it on a non HDCP compliant screen, the splitter is what makes it possible. Remember, port 1 on the splitter must always be connected to a TV or monitor that is HDCP compliant, and then the recorder or non compliant screen can connect to port 2, 3, or 4... Hope this helps!
Tech-Know Scope so do i use a 1 IN and 2 OUT HDMI Splitter Put My TV Hdmi In the IN port and then Use the 1OUT port for my elgato and my TWO outport for rocku? Or does my TV Has to be HDCP compliant...THANKS!
Your video source goes to the input. So if you're playing video from the Roku, that's the input. Your display or capture device goes to the output. Out from roku, in to splitter, out from splitter, in to the TV. etc, etc...

would this method work for capturing youtube tv to a pc for editing (fair use)?

The BM Intensity Pro is probably as cheap as you will get, it cost what most other 1080p cards cost. Good luck!

It does work with 2.2, I've already tested that. It can be tricky to get it to work correctly though.

Sounds like you need a new switch. The splitter isn't going to fix its problems.
What device are you using to actually record the content?
Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K

Thanks for reply
Has any one heard of HDCP v2.x and know of a device that will allow bypass of it to permit capture via component to PC ? Thanks
If you're talking about using a capture card, that's literally what I was doing that led up to this video.
Yes have a capture card but the output to the card is not processing as it has HDCP v2.x
Then you're in the right place. Just watch the video and follow my instructions.
It worked!!! Jallehuliha! !!
im so confused please respond
What can I help you with?
