Wally, does it use HDCP on HDMI output

[H2Guy]

I was looking at some creative ways to feed both my TV's in my camper by using an HDMI duplicator and running to both front and rear TV's. Yes, I do know I will have the same picture on both TV's which is fine but the quality of the picture will be far superior then old fashion RCA video.

The only snag as I see it is HDCP and if the Wally used it. I know HDCP is the thorn in the side of such duplicators as I know these do not work on stuff like Amazon prime and Xbox stuff. Any Comments?

I'm using an HDMI splitter to run all 3 TVs in my house off a single Wally, no issues with HDCP. I think I got it from Monoprice.

I am also running 3 TVs with one Wally through an HDMI splitter using two cat 5 lines to each distant TV with no problems for several years.

Wow, thats interesting, so did you do this using Cat5/6 ethernet cabling and did you have to buy 3 units or one transmitter and 3 receivers and put it all on a network switch?

HDMI over coax adapters.

This is my Monoprice two way HDMI splitter. I used it for at least 5 years on my Sanyo 26" LCD and Sony D50 "three eyed" CRT projector with no HDCP or any other problems. The Sanyo is 720p , the Sony was 1080i. When we moved last year I gave the projector away and now the splitter is in standby storage (drawer).

Pretty much EVERY HDTV settop box from a TV service provider ever made with an HDMI output, uses HDCP, as that is a requirement from the programming providers! No different than on a Blu-Ray player.
But as long as you're only connecting the splitter outputs to a display device (& NOT any type of recording device) you shouldn't have any issues. And stick to powered splitters, as un-powered (self-powered) ones tend to have issues with settop boxes.
