U9 ViewHD 2 Port 1x2 Powered HDMI 1 in 2 Out Mini Splitter for 1080P & 3D | Model: VHD-1X2MN3D

It ACTUALLY WORKS for removing HDCP on PS3! Don’t waste your money on ebay boxes or anything else. Get this now while it works! With a Retrotink the picture difference is really worth the trouble. Don’t settle for component! This gets it looking just right. Also do NOT output PS3 settings from 720. Some people & google says the Retrotink upscales better from 720 than 1080. It absolutely does NOT! Set PS3 to output 1080 then let the Retrotink upscale.

I buy a whole bunch of these little converter boxes, this is by far the highest build quality I've ever gotten. Additionally this is the greatest way to fix encryption error on the PS3 at 1080p 60 hertz. the PS3 cannot output more than that meaning that this is the absolute best solution for streaming your PlayStation 3 I would only ever recommend this product. as another commenter said make sure you get the right one I purchased the u9 viewHD 2 Port 1x2.

i bought this to remove the DHCP so i could watch netflix and other programs in my 2014 town and country. this box when i first hooked it up including hdmi and power did nothing different. but on accident i found that if you dont plug in the power it works for certain applications. it does work on Netflix and YouTube as well as disney + and prime video it did not work on apple movies/tv shows. movies anywhere or paramount+ it still showed dhcp errors with these programs. so it will work, with the ones that worked the picture and sound was clear.. hope this helps others as i did over 10 hours of research trying to get something that would work

I am writing this review to help clarify the HDCP stripping capability of some U9 ViewHD products. Notice that the “Capacity” description in the Amazon review headers vary, since reviews for different U9 ViewHD products are grouped together. This grouping can lead to confusing one product’s capabilities with another’s. (Hence the need for spelling out the model description in the review.) I have tested three U9 ViewHD products and here are the results. “ViewHD 2 Port 1x2 Powered HDMI 1 in 2 Out Mini Splitter for 1080P & 3D | Model: VHD-1X2MN3D” – purchased in 2017, passed through HD signal without HDCP in the output. (Nice.) “U9 ViewHD Latest 4K 1x2 HDMI Splitter 1 in 2 Out EDID Xbox PS3/4 Roku Chromecast Shield Fire Stick Apple TV Blu-ray Dual Monitor Display | Model: U9-Pluto” - purchased in 2020, passed through HD signal without HDCP in the output. Note, the USB power input for the U9-Pluto model is only needed in some applications (not sure which), and this splitter will work without the power supply for other applications. Mine worked without the power supply to split a 1080i, 5.1 audio signal. “ViewHD UHD1X2SA 1 in 2 Out 1x2 HDMI 2.0 HDCP 2.2 Splitter with 4K to 1080P Down Scaler and Audio Extractor | 4K@60Hz | HDR Dolby Vision | 3.5mm / Optical and HDMI Audio Output to HDMI AVR Receiver” - purchased in 2020, passed through HD signal with the HDCP info in the output. So with the UHD1X2SA model, you may get a blank screen with some applications due to the HDCP. Perhaps this is what is meant by “Does not bypass HDCP” or “HDCP compliant”. Note that all three devices worked well for their designed purpose and had a good build quality. The VHD-1X2MN3D purchased in 2017 is still working (in Nov 2020).

I have a 2010's VCR that happens to play VHS over HDMI. It can even play vintage gaming consoles over HDMI using the A/V inputs. Hands off, it's mine! However, when I tried to record with my capture card, I got the resolution (480p), but just a black screen. I happened upon this being a security measure called HDCP. Luckily, it's cheap and easy to remove it, and I don't even have an ideal setup. I used this adapter without the external USB power, and it worked with a 33ft HDMI attached via a coupler to a 6ft. How it did this without power, I'll never know! (probably because it's a 480p signal, lol). Since it removed the HDCP just using INPUT 1, I have nothing else to say. I didn't even have to connect the second output.

This review is for U9 ViewHD 2 Port 1x2 Powered HDMI 1 in 2 Out Mini Splitter for 1080P & 3D | Model: VHD-1X2MN3D. This item arrived on time and in great condition. I really love this device and I hope they keep making it. I have bought two of these and they are very necessary for what I need them for. A lot of consumer electronics today talk to each other. And at least one of the pieces of information that they share with each other is whether media that is being played on them is copyrighted. If so, then they will not pass the copyrighted media data between them. I am very much for protecting copyrights. However, when I produce a video that has my copyright it will not let me play that as well. At my church, we live stream our church service and we have procured the license for all of the music that is played in the live stream production. I have not problems there. However, when my church asks me to create a video about some event at the church, I should be able to play it in the live stream since I own the copyrights. However, there is no facility between the devices to ask me to enter some code to play my videos. It just does not play anything with a copyright. This was a great try to stop piracy, but sorry no cigar will be awarded. But one day, in a review about this item, I was told that it does not allow the devices to communicate. Thus, they do not realize the media has a copyright and I can play my videos without a problem. Other devices like this allow the communications. This is the only one I have found that does not. Therefore, if you are having this problem, please put one of these devices between your electronic devices and then just obey the copyright laws with stuff that you do not have the right to display. I hope some day they will fix the communications between the devices to allow the users of the devices to indicate whether they have the right to show the media.

I had an issue with my ROKU which I used to feed a home theater projector. I needed to strip audio from the HDMI to send it to my sound system so I obtained an audio extractor. This worked fine but every few minutes, the video would loose lock and completely break up for about 5 seconds (an HDMI issue I'm sure). I isolated it to the extractor but rather than replace the extractor, I purchased the U9 splitter. Now I have video going through the splitter to my projector and the splitter copies and reports the EDID from my projector to the ROKU which makes it work flawlessly (the U9 allows one to select which input source EDID is copied and relayed to the source device). The other U9 output goes to the audio extractor which also works without issues. An added plus is that when receiving Pandora, I can turn my projector off and HDMI is maintained so I can continue to extract music audio for Pandora. I plan to get another for a separate system which feeds a 3D display along with a non-3D display. It has the issue that I have to disconnect the non-3 display to use the 3D display because of EDID issues.. With this splitter copying and producing a selected EDID, I should be able to leave both connected and use the 3D display. To conclude, this splitter is packaged nicely, appears to have advanced operational features not found in other HDMI splitters, and comes well packaged with a power cable (though lacking a power supply).

I used the product one time so that I could capture footage from a PlayStation TV. It worked alright the first time. A few months later I tried it again (it was safely in storage in my office, nothing should've affected it), and now it doesn't power on.

Easy to use, read the instructions for 2160p and 1080p screens setups, once you understand how the setup works, it works seamless. Have 4k max fire stick plugged directly into input and working on 3 screens seamlessly

I had got this item for the seller to use to bypass my HDCP and it worked for my PS3. Hopefully this helps buyers and the seller. Thank you very much for selling me a product that does what it decribes.
