I wanted the Xbox to be hooked up to my monitor, and the television at the same time, but not have to plug and unplug the hdmi cords all of the time, so I bought this. It works wonderfully without any issues. It carries the same signal to both and plays on both simultaneously. After testing with an HTML stopwatch on the PC with the splitter (two outputs, one output to my monitor, other output to the splitter that split to a second monitor and tv) I've determined that it adds no input lag, so you don't have to worry about a delayed button press, reaction, etc.

Now I can game on the TV, or on the monitor if the wife is wanting to watch something in the same room, all without the hassle of having to set anything up.

I hope this answers your question.

The HDMI input from whatever source, in this case a Wii U and a Fire TV text to it: HDMI Input to HDMI splitter. One of the split HDMI cables goes to the TV, the other goes to an analog converter. The analog converter is the white thing in the back. The red/white/yellow video/audio cables go to the EasyCap which converts it to usb (The long usb stick looking thing, 3 usb ports from the left on the USB hub in the center). Then the USB hub to my raspberry pi2 (I ran out of usb ports on the pi itself). That's the setup for converting any hdmi source to analog so it can be analyzed by hyperion.

The lightpack itself also plugs into the pi directly via a normal usb connection.

This, strips HDCP, and gives you a second feed.

yes you can but if its for that purpose i would simply use a 1x2 hdmi splitter, which would do the same thing as a monitor 2.

http://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-JTD-MINI-1x2SP-Splitter-Capability/dp/B008D66RAU/

the zone 2 works a bit different, and has more features such as running two different HDMI sources to the TV and projector.

however, if you want the same audio to come out of the speakers while the picture goes to zone 2, there are some drawbacks:

1. the projector will still get audio so you need to turn the projector speakers off if it has any.
   
   
2. you must select main zone source and then set the zone 2 source to the same input. it doesnt automatically follow the main zone. its just one extra step.
   
   
3. when the Main Zone and the Zone 2 are on the same source, the AVR sets its EDID information to be 2ch PCM compatible in order to send the audio to the projector. that means that devices that automatically adjust their audio output based off the EDID information will stop outputting 5.1. if you use a player that can manually set its output formats, then you are fine, but a set top box or blu ray player that automatically sets its output format based on the capabilities it detects from the AVR will switch to 2ch. basically except for a PS3/4 and an computer, i think they will all automatically switch to 2ch.
   
   so for your purposes i think the above linked switchbox will be best and ignore the zone 2 hdmi.

An HDMI matrix switcher is overkill, in my opinion.

If you want your PC connected to your TV as well as the two monitors, it would seem an HDMI Splitter would resolve that issue. Connect the HDMI cable going to your receiver to the input on the splitter, then one output to the receiver, the other to the HDMI capable monitor.

For the laptop, as was previously suggested, a "universal dock" with two monitor outputs will take care of your laptop, though you'd need to manually change the inputs on your monitors...

I bought this: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B008D66RAU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Worked perfectly and does what you want to do.

Now the wife can turn on the TV and watch it normally and when I'm home I turn on the Xbox One and watch TV without having to change anything

I ordered this one, works like a charm.

I have my cable box feeding into a splitter, and one output goes to my Xbox One and the other to my tv. It works very well.

I can watch tv on either the Xbox, or the tv. The Xbox can be either off or on and it does not effect watching tv directly on the television set.

If you have an HDMI output you could get one of these or if its a coxial output maybe one of these

That's exactly what I did, plenty of $20 HDMI splitters on Amazon, this one works great for me (just got it last week:) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008D66RAU/ref=pe_385040_127745480_TE_item

Yeah, don’t use an optical splitter. Switch only has LPCM sound which will only be 2 channel on optical. Optical can only support 5.1 if it’s encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS and the Switch can’t use either (cus nintendo is cheap I guess). You COULD use an HDMI matrix like this guy

I can’t personally vouch for that particular piece, but I do use a 4 input, 2 output monoprice matrix myself (for reasons) and it works fine

USB will let you plug in as many keyboards and mice as you would like wouldn't it? Or a cabled keyboard/mouse and a wireless keyboard/mouse.

Then either find a way to mirror the desktop in software or use one of these. https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-JTD-MINI-1x2SP-Splitter-Capability/dp/B008D66RAU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1466012726&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=hdmi+splitter&psc=1
