HDMI SPLITTER BASICS
This Rocketsh two-way HDMI splitter will send HDMI audio and video signals from a single
source, such as a Blu-ray/DVD player or cable/satellite box, to two destinations, such as a TV
and an AV receiver. It is ideal for sending the audio signal from a 4K source to an AV receiver
(one that does not support 4K video pass-through), and video signal to a 4K UHD TV.

that either you need to connect the HDR source to an
HDR-compatible TV or the incoming signal has been downgraded
to 1080p due to the lack of proper HDR detection, check the
following:

• Make sure that all components involved are HDR compatible.
• Go into your source component's video resolution output
settings and, if necessary, change the resolution output setting
to 4K (sometimes labeled 4K/2K) and see if that corrects the
problem.
