Looking for some help.
I recently upgraded my old Panasonic Plasma with a LG G5. So going from 1080p to 40k. Now the problem is I had been splitting off the HDMI signal from our Sky box and sending HDMI over Ethernet to our bedroom TV too, so we could easily watch Sky in the bedroom (The BT Sky Q remote works from the bedroom, so didn't need IR extention). So the signal came out of our Sky Q, into splitter. One outputs to our Denon AVR (3400h) then to the TV and the other to a HDMI to ethernet converter. This has worked very well for many years.
Now the problem is that the splitter isn't 4K compatible. So had to take it out the chain as I was then only getting 1080p to the G5. Not ideal.
So looking for a plitter to split the 4K signal, albeit the TV on the other end of the HDMI to ethernet converter is only 1080p anyway. So maybe that's another issue?
None the less, all I can find is switchers rather than splitters. Would prefer not to have to swith the signal routing, but get both signals at the same time.
I have tried using the Monitor Out on the AVR, but the G5 signal drops every few seconds when trying that. I did try the zone 2 port too, but not properly I think, so I will try that. But not sure how well zone 2 would pass through in standby. The previously used splitter did work well, so would like a solution that works there.
Anyone have any ideas here?
I do have a dedicated HDMI for the PS5 to the TV, and use the eARC (maybe) port to get the sound back to the AVR. So no REAL need to upgrade the AVR just now, despite only having HDMI 2.0. And when I do, I was thinking of going pre / power amp setup then anyway. So I only need to upgrade the pre-amp side to keep up with technology going forward. But I'd rather not go down that road just now if possible.
