Signal distribution

The Monoprice Blackbird 4K Pro 1x2 HDMI Splitter takes one HDMI source and sends identical signals to two displays. It handles 18 Gbps bandwidth and supports resolutions up to 4K at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. Automatic EDID detection configures the output for each connected screen. The unit is suited for installers or home users who need to mirror a single 4K source across two endpoints.

Build integration

The splitter requires a single HDMI input from a source device and provides two HDMI outputs for displays or downstream equipment. It supports HDCP 2.2 so protected 4K HDR content passes through without handshake failures. No external power supply is mentioned in the specifications, so the device draws what it needs from the HDMI connections themselves. The compact form factor leaves rack or shelf space free for other gear.

Sustained operation

Rated for 18 Gbps continuous throughput, the splitter maintains 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 video without dropping frames during extended sessions. HDCP 2.2 compliance remains active for the full duration of protected playback. Automatic EDID management adapts if a display is swapped while the system runs. The 0.74 weight figure indicates a lightweight chassis that does not stress cable runs over long installations.

Questions about this item

Does the 18 Gbps bandwidth hold steady when the splitter runs continuously at 4K 60 Hz?

The 18 Gbps maximum bandwidth is the rated limit for sustained 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 operation.

How much heat or fan noise does the unit produce during all-day use?

The ultra-slim aluminium enclosure dissipates heat passively with no fan, so it runs silently.

Which HDMI cables and source device do I need to connect before the splitter will function?

One HDMI source and two HDMI displays, each with cables rated for 18 Gbps, are required.
