Connect iPad with two TVs

Hello Frank,

I see 2 gray areas in this case –

1. TV brands and which are the ports available there

2. How far they are located

However, If we consider all possible cases, we can have following solutions–

1. If TV has HDMI out port-

Take Output from IPAD device and put it in through HDMI in and then take it out using HDMI out and put it to next TV

2. If TV doesn't have HDMI out port–

Use a simple passive splitter if they are located quite near, that is HDMI cable length for any connection is not exceeding ~5 Meter. Else, we need active splitter/ DA All interfaces should be HDCP compliant

Hope this helps, thanks

 

This is how HDMI splitter looks like
