    Default HDMI 2 into 1 adapter/splitter

    I need to plug 2 HDMI devices into the same outlet ( a chromecast and an android box ) , can i do this with a double adapter type device or does it need to be powered ?
    Most of the cheap ones i see on ebay mention using them to output to two monitors but i only want to use each device separately.

    Can you clarify.

    Are you wanting to connect two devices to one HDMI input on a screen?

    If that's what you want, an HDMI switch/selector will do the job.

    Sorry should have added that, 2 into 1 HDMI on a TV. Prefer not a powered splitter as i dont have any sockets left on the power board.

    A splitter works the other way.... one device into two screens, etc.

    You need a selector switch... passive device with one output and two inputs.

    eg:

    You can use a matrix selector/router, but that's a powered device.

    Only last week I purchased a HDMI Matrix Switcher because the old Matrix one was only 1080p and since I have now a 2160p tv I need to change it for all my sat Boxes plug into it. They are cheap to buy.



    Also the same as mtv suggested in Australia
