Convert, split, switch or extend: name the job first

Most products here do one of four jobs. A converter changes the signal format, such as VGA or component video to HDMI. A splitter copies one source to several screens. A switcher or router chooses which source reaches which display. An extender carries the signal beyond normal cable length. A splitter cannot choose sources and a simple selector switch cannot copy one picture to two screens, so name the job before the model. When the two ends do not share a connector, start with signal converters.

Resolution, refresh rate and reach: the limits on the box

Check three numbers on every listing: the highest resolution, the refresh rate at that resolution, and the cable distance. A device that accepts 4K may only do it at 30 Hz, and a 4K picture at 60 Hz needs HDMI 2.0 bandwidth end to end. Twisted-pair extenders usually quote a shorter reach for 4K than for 1080p, and analog VGA extenders lose sharpness with length. Many converters and extenders also need their own power adapter, so confirm what is supplied. For long runs, compare A/V extenders by distance at your resolution.

Questions about Broadcast and Pro Video Equipment

Can a splitter show a different picture on each screen?
No. A splitter sends an identical copy of one source to every output. To show different sources on different displays you need a matrix switch or router, and to extend a desktop you need extra video outputs on the computer.
Why does my picture break up on a long cable?
Higher resolutions and refresh rates need more bandwidth than a long passive cable can carry. Shorten the run, drop the resolution, or use an active cable or an extender rated for your resolution. Poorly shielded cables cause sparkles and dropouts first.
Can I plug an old VGA or composite source straight into HDMI?
Not with a passive cable. Analog signals must be digitized, so you need an active converter, and most of those need USB or external power. Going the other way, from HDMI to analog, copy-protected sources are often blocked.
