gofanco Prophecy 1x4 HDMI Extender - Review

As someone who enjoys high-quality audio and video experiences, I was excited to test out the gofanco Prophecy 1x4 HDMI Extender Splitter. This product claims to extend and distribute one HDMI source to four different displays simultaneously, making it a fantastic option for anyone with multiple TVs or monitors in their household or workspace. In this review, I will share my experience using this product and provide a thorough analysis of its strengths and weaknesses.

Out of the box, I appreciated the gofanco Prophecy 1x4 HDMI Splitter's sleek and sturdy design. The surface-mountable metal housing felt like it would be durable even with frequent use, and the fact that it was FCC, CE, and RoHS compliant only added to my confidence in its construction. The product also came with an easy-to-follow user manual, which helped guide me through the installation and EDID configuration.

The installation process was relatively straightforward, even for someone who doesn't consider themselves particularly tech-savvy. I used CAT7 Ethernet cable to connect the transmitter to the receivers, though the product is also compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 cables. From there, I wired my input source — in my case, a PlayStation 4 — into the transmitter. I was pleased to discover that the transmitter also had an HDMI out port, which allowed me to connect it directly to a local display for monitoring or cascade HDMI signals to four layers.

Once everything was connected, I turned on my input source and each display, and the signal came through flawlessly. I appreciate that the Prophecy 1x4 HDMI Splitter supports up to 50m (165ft) of cable length at 1080p @ 60Hz with CAT5e/6/7, and that it is compatible with HDCP compliant devices & content. Additionally, with surround sound up to 7.1-channel or stereo digital audio, this product is perfect for anyone who wants to experience their movies, tv shows, or video games to the fullest.

One of the standout features of the gofanco Prophecy 1x4 HDMI Extender Splitter is the embedded Silicon Image chipset. This chipset is responsible for blending quality, compatibility, and reliability. This product extends HDMI audio and video signals to synchronous output display(s) as fluent as a direct connection, making it an excellent choice for those who prioritize high-quality visuals and audio. With nine built-in EDID resolution options, it's easy to ensure that the configuration fits my display's capabilities. I was pleased with how well the product was able to make the most of my display's capabilities.

Another feature that impressed me was the product's bi-directional IR remote control. This feature makes it easy to control my media player or device remotely from the TV's side or to control the TV from the device's side. The fact that no driver is required means that the product is straightforward to set up and use, with no extra steps or hassle involved.

In terms of criticisms, there are some minor aspects that could be improved upon. For instance, the product could benefit from the addition of an HDMI cable, as it took a bit of effort to dig out my own. Additionally, while the product manual was helpful, I would appreciate more detailed technical support or troubleshooting options in case of any issues. These are minor nitpicks, though, and don't detract from the overall quality of the gofanco Prophecy 1x4 HDMI Extender Splitter.

Overall, I was impressed with the gofanco Prophecy 1x4 HDMI Extender Splitter. It's a well-built product that is both easy to use and provides high-quality visuals and audio, making it an excellent option for those who want to distribute their HDMI signals across multiple displays. With its embedded Silicon Image chipset, bi-directional IR remote control, and easy-to-follow EDID configurations, the gofanco Prophecy 1x4 HDMI Extender Splitter is a top-of-the-line product that I would recommend to anyone who wants to boost their audio and video experience.
