6. Operating Instructions
The Bytecc HDMI Splitter operates automatically once connected and powered on. It mirrors the signal from the single HDMI input to both HDMI outputs.
- Signal Duplication: The splitter is designed to duplicate the HDMI signal. Both connected displays will show the exact same content from the source device.
- No Extension Mode: This splitter does not support extending your desktop across multiple screens. It functions solely as a mirroring device.
- Resolution Matching: The splitter will output the highest common resolution supported by both connected displays and the source device. If displays have different native resolutions, the output will default to the lower common resolution.
