this is what you need http://www.amazon.com/Kinivo-301BN-Premium-wireless-adapter/dp/B0049S6ZUS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1426258307&sr=8-2&keywords=hdmi+switcher

I'm using a Kinivo 301BN 3 Port switcher with my PS3 and PS4. Works fine, plus it switches to the console you turn on automatically (most of the time, anyway).

A hdmi switch like this or this will fix that issue.

OP, be careful with the suggestions given by /u/JeremiS55. If you are running HDMI from the PS4 you will need a powered switch - unpowered switches tend to have trouble with the PS4's HDMI output. Here is an example.

I have a similar setup at home, here is what I do:

• PS4, PS3, and PC on HDMI switch.
  
• PC audio on a dedicated set of speakers
  
• HD monitor on the output of the switch
  
• Second (SD) screen on PC's DVI out that is always used for the PC
  
• PS3/PS4 audio through HDMI to monitor's built-in speakers
  
  This lets me hear audio from the console while also listening to music or watching movies on my PC. The audio output won't "switch" with the HDMI switch - not a cohesive, single-output solution - but it's pretty easy to turn off the PC speakers if they're not wanted.
  
  Edit: I use this switch which I bought at Best Buy after having issues with my unpowered switch. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it over other options for your needs but it suits mine just fine.

I had the same problem, try an hdmi switch, $30 on amazon.

This device already exists and you probably already have one... Don't you have an AV receiver? Just split the HDMI (using the splitter you said you already have) from the PS4 into two different inputs and then use your remote control to the select the one that you want to play-HDR or PS VR.

If you don't have an AV receiver and you don't want to spend the money on one, just get a HDMI switcher that works with a remote control follow the same steps but with the HDMI switcher instead. Kinovo some really good ones for less than $30, But there are a ton of different ones.

Specifically : PS4-> HDMI Splitter -> 1 hdmi to psvr processor and the 2nd one to either an AV reciever or something like this: Kinivo HDMI Switch 301BN Premium 3 Port Wireless Remote & AC Power Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049S6ZUS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IpBCyb6BYC3J6

Then have the psvr HdMI out also go to a seperate input on the AV Reciever or the HDMI switch.

The output from the AV Reciever or HDMI switch goes to the TV. Both the AV Reciever and the HDMI port can be controlled by a universal remote - i use a logitech harmony but you can use almost any one.

Note: The Kinovo switcher in the link does HDR i think, but you should shop around to make sure. If it doesn't then choose one that does. If you use an old AV reciever then it may not do HDR but a newer one should.

I've had good results with Kinivo HDMI switches and Harmony remotes. I haven't used the UHD ones, but the FHD ones work great.

I miss read your post a little. Just a simple video switch is what you're looking for. Something like this link should work. If you don't use HDMI get adapters, the VGA and DVI switches out there are old and outdated for current resolutions. I've owned this particular brand before, I had the 5 port version.

Depends on how involved you want to get. Here it's all a matter of aesthetics, and if you want it to look good, you've gotta do the work. Fortunately, I did it for the first time myself, and it looks good and is worth it.

1. Take the TV off the mount. Go into the attic and assess the area directly above the fireplace. Should be easy to find based on the chimney, but if not (and there aren't any wires or duct work above it), drill a small hole in your ceiling right in the center of the fireplace, and poke a straightened wire coat hanger into it. This will penetrate the insulation and give you a good point of reference.
   
   
2. Buy and install a combo recessed plug and cable plate. If there's not much room behind the drywall, you can get shallower versions.
   
   
3. Run electrical power (12/2 Romex is sufficient for a flat screen) and a single long HDMI cable to your box. Wiring sounds difficult, but with a fish tape and a paddle bit, it's actually not that bad. DIY Network has a writeup here. If you're unsure of local code, or don't want to mess with electricity, you could run the power cable to the box, and then have a local electrician tap into an existing line with capacity (this should be much cheaper than having them do the whole job).
   
   
4. Run the other end of the HDMI cable to wherever you want your source boxes to be. Ours are in our coat closet. Use either an A/V switching receiver or an HDMI switch to control the source. Yes, modern TV's have multiple HDMI ports on the back, but for a clean and easy installation, doing 1 cable to the TV, and then switching at the sources is a much better solution than running a new cable through the attic for each device.
   
   Good luck.

This is the best one you can get and works the best.

You need to have a HDMI Switch with a dedicated power supply, otherwise it wont run the signal for the PS4. Trust me, I had some trial and error till I found this one.

For that use case, you could also go with an HDMI switch--something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049S6ZUS

Hi there Steve! I had a similar predicament about six months ago when we set up a secondary HT system in our bedroom and I actually bought a different Konivo model that has three HDMI-outs. It's been working splendidly ever since; I should note that it replaced another splitter (the PORTTA PET0301S) that died after only a couple months, so the fact that our new model is working problem-free is a relief.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049S6ZUS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

Edit: Forgot to mention the splitter I recommended is self-powered and also will auto-select the active port, which is definitely a nice addition.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049S6ZUS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00

This is the cheapest one with decent reviews and it works really good for me.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0049S6ZUS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1394027690&sr=8-1

I have that one. Works great.

HDMI initiates device identification and authentication during a handshake using HDCP. The secure key generated during authentication prevents connecting multiple devices to the same output.

You could use an HDMI switch box though.

I'm wondering if HDCP would prevent the use of a splitter with Xbox One. I see that listing specifically says it doesn't support HDCP.

One thing that would probably work is an HDMI switch like this one but you would have to manually switch between the two TVs. It wouldn't output to both of them at the same time. They're typically used for plugging two video sources into one HDMI port on the TV. I'm not sure if they work the other way arround

Definitely spring for an inexpensive hdmi switcher that covers what you need! It's a great, cheap way to be able to add in more stuff in your setup. I have a couple of different ones and they work well for my purposes:

• The Fosmon pigtail only has devices hooked up to it that can be powered off (like the PS3). It doesn't support a remote, but it doesn't matter since the autoswitching wouldn't be affected by any continuous draw devices (like a Chromecast or FireTV). It doesn't require any power source.
  
  
• The Kinivo 301BN is a lot more flexible. I have it programmed into my Harmony and configured for a multitude of devices, like my 360, Chromecast, Fire Stick, VitaTV, and PC. Since it supports a remote, it doesn't matter that I have devices that are always on connected to it, and the auto switching works like a peach. It requires an external power source.
  
  
• Unfortunately, I ran out of ports on that sucker (it only has 5!), so I bought this TeckNet 3 port. Depending on how much power it can pull over the HDMI, it may not need a power source... I've used it in two setups, one where I was able to just daisy chain it to the Kinivo and one where I had to power it off the USB directly from a TV. Supports a remote, so I got it programmed into the Harmony and it works well for always on devices.
  
  ...also, if you haven't looked into unifying your whole setup with a Harmony-style solution, definitely give it a thought! Initial configuration can be a little annoying, but you kind of forget all about it once you're hopping between presets with single button presses. You don't need to go big money on it...the 650 is a great remote with a nice screen (basically like a fancier version of the Xbox 360 Harmony), or you can go with one of the higher dollar versions that uses your phone/tablet as the primary interface. Very customization, very cool.

I have something like this for my main setup:
http://www.amazon.com/Kinivo-301BN-Premium-wireless-adapter/dp/B0049S6ZUS

You can have it switch inputs automatically, and it comes with a remote. Fairly cheap solution without buying a whole new monitor.

Off topic: I ran into the problem of not having enough HDMI on my TV as well and this little device has been amazing at getting all consoles onto one TV. I have 3 HDMI on my TV so I have Live Television one the first, this adapter; which has all of my consoles (Wii U, Xbox One, and PS4) ,and the last is for my PC.

I have this it supports up to 1080p 60hz and 4K 24hz

Kinovo HDMI Switch

I'd recommend:

Roku Stick, Raspberry Pi with Kodi and Retro Pie. That'll get you everything you need. For Kodi and Retro Pie, you can have both running where you don't have to reboot or swap SD cards, as shown here.

To run your PC through the projector, you can use cat5e with HDMI baluns. You can route that through the wall, attic, and down the wall to your projector, or you can just run it around the perimeter of the room.

To have everything run through the projector, you can pick up a simple HDMI switch online for something like $30.

To control everything, you could probably figure out a way to make a Harmony remote handle the work, or you can use your phone if it has IR.

Here's a 3-port option:

>Kinivo 301BN Premium 3 port High speed HDMI switch with IR wireless remote and AC Power adapter - supports 3D, 1080p

>Link: http://amzn.com/B0049S6ZUS

I have the 5-port version and it works perfectly. It auto-detects what is powered on most recently and switches to that input. If there is a problem, you can press a button on the switch or on the remote.

I used this one for my Wii U and PS4 and it worked fine.

This is correct. You need a splitter that has power. I read multiple reviews and have discovered this.

i use this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049S6ZUS/

I dont have my PS4 connected yet. I want to use my PC Monitor as Display instead, but the monitor only has 1 HDMI Input port, which my PC is using. So i want to buy a HDMI Splitter , maybe this one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0049S6ZUS/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1417056453&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

So that I can have both my PC and my PS4 plugged to the same Monitor.

Will that work?

Do you want an HDMI splitter or switch ? Because they're a bit different, anyways I use this HDMI switch and its perfect http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0049S6ZUS/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1457211463&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=kinivo&dpPl=1&dpID=31HQXq0wQML&ref=plSrch

First of all your link is to rental property in Coral Gables so you might wanna check on that ;-)

I'm using this HDMI switch:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049S6ZUS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have my Apple TV and my DirecTV box going into it then the output going to the XB1 and it works flawlessly. Zero problems, 100% satisfied.

I use this one.. It works great, and it switches automatically depending on what device you turn on.

This is what I have
I plug in my ps3 ps4 and wiiu into that. I can still capture on the wiiu, Have not tested on the ps4 but it should work the same.

Agreed, but this one is rated higher with more reviews Link

• Receiver --> TV Input
  
• TV Optical --> Receiver Input
  
• PS4 --> Receiver In
  
• PS3 --> Receiver In
  
• Chromecast --> TV
  
• TV Box --> TV
  
  That's one possible setup. It depends on how often you use each of these. Your other option is to get an HDMI switcher
  
  Given the price of a switcher, I'd say get one and do everything via HDMI
  

What you need is a switcher, not a splitter.
There are different types, some need power, other not.

You don't want a splitter unless you want to have Destiny on both screens as the same time. If you want to choose which screen will display the image you need a switch/matrix that does 2in/1out or something like that. I've got a Rocketfish HDMI switch from Best Buy that I use and I haven't expereinced any lag that I'm aware of. But I'm using a pc monitor. Something like this should work for you.

I have been using this switch for over a year with no problems although you'd have to find a different solution for your speakers:

I've got this one from Kinivo and have had it for well over a year.. Works flawlessly and changes inputs automatically depending on what device you power on.

I have no issues with my switch (I split a WiiU and the XBONE), but before I bought it I read a few reviews... and found that this one was specifically mentioned as being one of the few that worked completely fine with both PS4 and XBONE. Have had no issues at all with it.

I use it to switch between all modern game consoles that currently live in my PC setup. Has been working great, had it for about a year or so. I've had other cheap china switches and my PS3 simply wouldn't play nice with those.
Edit: Didn't see you needed two outputs. I've got my hooked up to a cheap powered HDMI splitter, so there's one solution.

I picked up this one a little while ago. Works great.

Link didn't go in right, not sure how to edit in the app, no time to look.

Here it is.

Absolutely, here it is.

You can use an HDMI Switcher and plug 3 devices into that, and then attach that to the HDMI Passthrough. You just use the remote that normally comes with whichever switcher you get to switch the devices on the unit itself.

I use this switch for my Switch and SNES Classic and have had no problems at all the few months I've had it.

Do you think this HDMI spliter would work?

A friend of mine has it, I was gonna borrow it but he's already got it setup.

Buy yourself Smash for 3DS!! It comes out on Friday (the day the contest ends! IT'S A SIGN!!) and it is going to be fantastic (Source: I've played the demo lots). Smash is addicting fun, and it lets you battle online, so you could even battle against your fellow RAOAers that get it! It's going to keep you entertained for a while, so what's to lost? Treat yourself and get it!

As for me, I would LOVE to receive this HDMI 3-port switch device. I just found out these things exist, and this would make my life insanely easier. I don't have enough HDMI ports on my TV, so I always have to flip it around, unplug, and replug to get things to work. This eliminates that! So, you're buying something that will get constant use and make my life a bit easier! :)

Thanks for the contest! This is awesome of you :) Batman Suit.

A Denon from last year’s models like the S720W could be had for around that much based on a quick Google search (I converted £200 to ~$270). Since you said “possibly 7.1,” I’m a bit confused. Do you own speakers yet or not? If you don’t, then something like this could tide you over until you buy speakers, and the remainder of your budget can go to a receiver.

you need a switch for multiple devices into the xbox hdmi input, not a splitter lol.

But if you have money to blow you should definitely just get a $250 receiver.

You cannot create an HDMI input on your computer without allot of expense and extra processing power - there is also the issue of HDMI protection (HDCP) which will cause some shows/movies not to play at all.

I would suggest an HDMI switch like this: http://www.amazon.com/Kinivo-301BN-Premium-wireless-adapter/dp/B0049S6ZUS

...so you can select between your computer and your TV tuner box as you wish.
