    Is there a combination of these tools that can be used to "extend" the display of a computer across 2 monitors/displays? I have a 4x2 matrix and am struggling to get anything other than a duplicate display which is pretty useless for the side by side setup I'm trying to create. Thanks.

    I’m on my 3rd splitter. The first 2 have failed. I use the splitter when running the av (volunteer for charity) for a group meeting once a month. The 4 port splitters don’t seem to last very long. I’ve used them with a good quality surge protector so that’s not the issue. They are great, until they die. I typically keep a spare so I can swap it out quickly and keep thing going.

    The 12tb hard Drive contains all my movies and was hoping to connect it somehow to my smart 4K Samsung Tv.
    I’ve tried connecting it directly to my HDMI box and directly to the USB port but neither worked, it just showed on the tv something was connected or said no files or folders available?
    I’m guessing I need some kind of hardware in between to connect properly ?

    Can we split the signal by taking one of the outputs from the Matrix device? Also I saw your 8 output splitter using cat, one transmitter and 8 receiver, will that not require an additional network switch?

      Hi, You can use a Splitter at the Matrix output to split the signal. The 1x8 Splitter over CAT actually doesn't work with a Network switch. The Transmitter and Receivers need to be connected directly. Some of our models do support Downscaling so you will be able to have different resolution on different outputs.

    My laptop, an Acer Nitro 5, has only 1 HDMI output, but I need 2 HDMI outputs. I want to stream and make digital art, so I need 1 screen to have the OBS streaming software open which would be my laptop screen, another screen being my Sanyo TV for Twitch/UA-cam to monitor the stream, and a third for my XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro graphic design screen tablet which uses HDMI exclusively. I cannot use a USB-C port because I tried to use a Benfei USBC to HDMI extender and it didn't work at all with my TV OR my drawing tablet, the screens just wouldn't turn on or show anything at all. I then erroneously got an HDMI to HDMI splitter that only mirrors displays, it wouldn't extend the displays like I need. I'm nervous about using a USB to HDMI device already having the poor experience with the USB-C not working as needed, and I also have wayyy too many USB devices as it is with my microphone, webcam, ring light, external hard drive, etc.
    What I want is a HDMI to HDMI Splitter into at least 2 useable HDMI ports than also extends NOT JUST MIRRORS my displays so I can have the 3 separate screens I need. This device also shouldn't be that expensive, I don't want to pay more than like $40. Somebody please direct me to a device that suits my needs, I would be greatly in your debt!

      Unfortunately it is not possible to do as you ask, as HDMI cannot "daisy chain", or send two signals at once with a single output from your laptop. C to HDMI did not work for you because of the way your c port is wired into the laptop. However, a USB c dock, preferably externally powered (not c to HDMI, an actual dock) with HDMI outputs would be your best bet, however on a laptop it will consume processing power as it will not use the onboard GPU to process the images. This is the optimal solution. A standard USB-a 3.0 dock can do the same, with less features. Don't worry about plugging too many things into the USB ports, the computer will know if it draws too much current and will disable things before any damage can occur.

      Not all splitters will do that though, it seems to be pot luck which ones do. I researched and found one that others had succeeded with.
