Don't get one unless you're good with computers in general, and don't mind a bit of DIY.
You'll need something like this: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B001NKYR5U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
have the pi & lights part connected to one side, so it can easily be turned off.
This is the [splitter] (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B071G4NXNH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I use. It only has one output but several inputs so I can hook up my switch, chromecast and my ps4 pro. And the PS4 doesn't show anything at all. If i connect my splitter to the tv it works fine but if I connect it to the grabber nothing happens but my switch works fine. The splitter you linked doesn't support 4k output which I need as I have a 4k tv.
Edit: should point out I'm planning on using this [converter] (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01CT7THLO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to try and get the HDCP to 1.4.
HDFury does not as far as I know; I bought this one on Amazon that works fine. I had some trouble with it that's well-documented in the product reviews, but they can be avoided if you make sure you are using HDMI cables with the appropriate AWG rating for the cable length.
In terms of the HDMI to CVBS 4K scaler, if you don't already have it I would not use it. There's no benefit to using that versus whatever came with your Lightberry. IIRC the 4K scaler is a separate purchase for $100 or more. The HDFury Linker is downscaling the signal to 1080p (or lower) for you to process so you don't need a second downscaler from Lightberry.
It's not the 4K that's the problem, it's the HDCP 2.2 copy protection that is, which blocks it from working with non HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0 sources. That being said, I think I've found a solution in a piece of hardware that is supposed to strip HDCP from the signal:

I'm still waiting on my Lightberry, so if I can actually get that to work, I'll make a post here.
