Features

1x4 HDMI Splitter: The Ethereal CS-1X4HDMSPL5 HDMI splitter incorporates a single HDMI 2.0 input with four HDMI 2.0 outputs allowing you to share a single standard definition, high definition, or ultra high definition source device (like a Blu-ray player, Game Console or Satellite/Cable receiver) with four displays (such as multiple flat-panel TVs and front projectors).

Built-In Scaling & EDID Management: Thanks to built-in scaling and EDID management, the CS-1X4HDMSPL5 provides the ability to take any standard resolution and downscale it to match each of the connected displays (up to 4), simultaneously. For example, show 4K@60Hz content on a 4K display while also showing the same content scaled down on a 1080p display. Unlike traditional splitters, this built-in scaling allows legacy devices to work with newer higher resolution displays in the system, without automatically defaulting to the lowest resolution. Video quality on newer TVs is no longer sacrificed by having an older model in the mix.

Note: The CS-1X4HDMSPL5 does not upscale video, nor does it scale framerate.

HDMI 2.0 (18Gbps): The CS-1X4HDMSPL4 HDMI splitter supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2, along with Ultra HD 4K and HDR video. The splitter is capable of receiving and transmitting video bandwidths up to 18Gbps.

4K Resolution: The CS-1X4HDMSPL5 is compatible with ultra-HD video resolutions up to 4k @ 60Hz with support of YCBR 4:4:4 color subsampling. It is also compatible with high definition video up to 1080p @ 60Hz; even 3D video. In addition, it supports 480i standard definition video.
HDR Formats: The Ethereal 1x4 HDMI splitter supports all the major HDR formats - including HDR 10, Dolby Vision, and HLG (Hybrid-Log Gamma).
HDCP 2.2 Compliant: HDCP 2.2 is supported by all of the HDMI splitter's inputs & outputs; HDCP is short for "High bandwidth Digital Content Protection" and is used for 4K video copyright protection for compatibility with 4K Blu-ray players and 4K Satellite/Cable providers.

Up to 7.1ch Audio: The Ethereal CS-1X4HDMSPL5 HDMI splitter supports up to LPCM 7.1ch, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio.

LED Indicators: The Ethereal 1x4 HDMI splitter features six LEDs to indicate Power, Input, and Output (1-2-3-4) status. These LEDs will illuminate Blue when the device is connected to power, senses an HDMI source input signal, and connected to up to 4 displays.

AC Power Adapter: The included AC power adapter (w/ attached 5' DC cord) plugs into the back of the CX-1X4HDMSPL5 and into an AC power outlet or surge protector (sold separately - see Accessories Tab).

Mounting Options: The CX-1X4HDMSPL5 comes with two brackets and four screws to mount the brackets to the HDMI splitter. The mounting brackets allow you to secure the HDMI splitter to a shelf (mounting screws for shelf not included).

1 question already asked

Can this be used to connect multiple sources to one tv?

1 answer

Greetings Ken. Thank you for your question. This would be for one source, 4 TVs. You would need multiple inputs, and one out. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_120H5X1SW4/Ethereal-CS-HDM5X1SW4.html?tp=2896

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
