hdmi 3d splitter (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone, i am a newbie to the site. Any help is appreciated. I recently purchased an epson hd/3d projector and i love it. I am using a bose t20 sound system and a sharp aquos tv (not 3d)


my question is this; I have a samsung 3d blu ray input to the bose and i am using a hdmi splitter to feed the bose output to both the sharp lcd and the epson projector. Everything works great till i want to watch 3d. If i remove the splitter and run the output from the bose straight to the projector it works great. Once i hook up the samsung and the splitter no more 3d. It doesn't matter if the tv is on or off. The spitter says it is 3d capable/ready.


is there a better splitter? Can i make this work?

Nope. HDMI signals are "dumbed down".

If you bought a HDMI matrix it would work. But the matrix would have to go before the Bose and Sharp.

ok thanks how do i hook it up? What is the wiring pattern

Samsung to matrix.

Matrix to Sharp
Matrix to Epson
Matrix to Bose

This would require a matrix with a separate optical output.

With a matrix you can "kill" the connection to the Sharp while using the Epson.
