Can this simultaneously output to a home theater and a soundbar from 2 sources like a DVR or Blueray? thanks

I have never tried because I'm only using one output to my receiver but it should work using both outputs to the same input.

Jerry, I'm not sure I understand your question, but the dual output works by passing along the sound input from any one particular source (e.g. blu-ray player) to two different sources simultaneously (e.g. your sound bar and home theatre system). If your Blu-ray is on input 1 and your Cable/DVR is plugged into input 2, you'll have to switch between the two inputs to hear that sound from that source on both your sound bar and home theatre simultaneously. That's easily done with the remote.

I want to say yes even though I haven't done that, but I do output sound to a headset and surround sound so I think it will work

You can output to 2 devices. But it can only have 1 input going to those 2 devices at a time.

The question is not about listening to two outputs at the same time.The intent of the question is to give myself the flexibility to route one source to a decoder of my speaker system (for example) while routing an other source to the input of my sound card to record it but be able to then switch to that later back to he speaker if I want to listen to it directly. Basically: n-way multiplexing.

It is unlikely. Typically it's one source to the outputs...in this case, you can switch that source between 2 devices.

Yes you can. , whatever input you select, this device splits it into a separate audio and video signal. Audio can be linked soundbar through your digital audio port using a toslink audio cable.

If you are thinking you can utilize 2 seperate devices through the receiver, I don't think so. If you are trying to augment the HDMI device, That's where I get a little hazy..... Running a fully digital HDMI device I wouldn't think that it's necessary. But I don't think that it would hurt either. Basically there are multiple inputs, but only one output sort of. Your watching a video, you get the sound for that too. Your listening to music, nothing shows on the video.

The unit has one output to TV and four input HDMI ports. I use only two inputs - cable company DVR and Panasonic DVD player.

You can output separately if you decide to left and right stereo and then edit it back together post recording. Otherwise no, there isn't really a way to do that.

If your home security DVR has a VGA out (I'm assuming it does) then yes you can do as you asked. You would connect your VGA cables from your DVR and your computer to the 2 VGA inputs on the switch box and then you would connect the VGA output to your monitor. If your DVR does not have VGA out you could still do it but you would need an additional converter box to convert your DVR output to VGA.

Yes, that is correct. This item is designed to split a single source into two outputs. It is not designed to combine two sources into one. So you will need separate inputs on your TV; you might choose the component output for one item and HDMI output for the other.

Hi James. It will not be possible since this splitter will be connected to a single source. Whatever audio coming from the source will be shared on both outputs.

Yes, you can. I have the same setup you described and it works. HDMI connected to a flat screen TV and at the same time have the SPDIF connected to my surround receiver and both can output sound simultaneously using the View HD switch. You have to check the menu on your bluray/DVD/ cable box supports sending the audio out on both outputs at the same time. Hope that info helps.

Yes that is true. I have a computer and dvd player connected, and I can manually switch between the two sources. And, yes it sends the one input (the one you select, input 1 or 2) or same signal to two HDMI sources.

Yes you can, you just have to assign which source will come out from each hdmi output

Yes, use the hdmi setting on your dvr and change the settings on your comp to output via dvi.

Yes it can, however as I just learned, you cannot have another HDMI source playing at the same time.

output to another higher resolution tv, can be used as a standalone blu ray player in that sense

Hmm, that's kind of a complicated setup. Basically the dvdoair would act as a bridge between your source (unnamed) and output (projector for video/sonos for sound). Am I imagining the setup correctly? The projector part should be easy, since I imagine it uses hdmi as the dvdoair does. The sound might be considerably more complicated though. Dvdoair won't natively split you audio and video streams, so if you want to fork video to the projector via dvdoair, in order to fork the audio elsewhere, you might need a separate receiver or converter of some kind. Basically the difficulty would stem from splitting audio and video to different endpoints, since dvdoair is built for a simple, all-in-one solution for both streams concurrently... More info on the proposed setup would yield a more conclusive answer.
