Q: 1. Is there any loss of quality with this spiller vs a direct connection from a 4K TV?

Q: 2. is the unit support CEC, and ARC?

A: The KanexPro SP-1X2SL18G 1x2 Slim 4K HDMI Splitter supports CEC passthrough but KanexPro does not state ARC support.

Q: 3. I have Xfinity cable box connected to a Sony H800x tv with eArc that is connected to a Sonos Arc. I am having lip synch problems and talked to Sony and Sonos however we were not able to fix it. Will this device correct the lip synch problem? Is the device powered?

A: We are not aware of this being able to correct sync issues.

Q: 4. How do you change source to output 1080i? I need to change my 1080p camera to shoot out 1080i so my atem switcher will recognize it.

A: Hi there, B&H have asked me to try and advise you when using a Gefen HDMI Detective. Firstly the frame rate of your camera thru to your switcher is not changed by using this device. If your camera has the capabilty for different resolutions and frame rates, then you must carry out this procedure from within the menu of the camera. Normally most vision switchers require all sources to be the same or it will not recognise them. Hope this helps you.

Q: 5. Can the bolt transmitter be added at a later time, or do you have to purchase it already installed?

A: The SmallHD ULTRA 7 Bolt 6 TX 750 Monitor (B&H # SM160729)has the transmitter built in to the monitor, so the transmitter can not be purchased separately at this time. As an alternative, you can purchase the Teradek Bolt 6 LT 750 3G-SDI/HDMI Wireless Transmitter (B&H # TE102261) to establish a wireless transmission signal from the SmallHD ULTRA 7 UHD 4K On-Camera Touchscreen Monitor.

Q: 6. I want to use a portkeys bm5 and an atem mini pro with my bmpcc 6k. both need HDMI capabilities, will this splitter allow me to accomplish what I need?

A: In theory yes this should work. This takes a single HDMI input and splits it out to two. However you are not going to be able to control the Pocket 6K from the ATEM Switcher like you would with a direct connection.

Q: 7. I have an Xfinity cable box connected to a Sony H800x tv that is connected to a Sonos Arc. I have a lip synch issue and cannot get it corrected. I spent a lot of time with Sony and Sonos but nothing worked. Will this device solve the problem? Does the device require power?

Q: 9. Trying to go out of a MBP to an HDMI splitter, but having issues. Someone suggested an HDMI EIED emulator. I guess I'm having handshaking issues? I get images on both sides of the splitter's output, but only for about 3 seconds, then it goes blank.

A: The HDfury Dr. HDMI EDID Manager / Detective (B&H# HDDRHDMI) is useful if the issue is synchronization or handshake-related. There's no way to know what the exact problem is that you're experiencing, but you're welcome to try this and we do have a 30-day return policy: https://bhpho.to/3m17kwn
