How do I mirror 2 signs from one media player, or how do I connect 2 signs to one media player?
There are 2 ways to use a Media Player to mirror content on more than 1 TV/display.
1) The easiest way is using an HDMI Splitter.
These can be found at Walmart, Best Buy, or online at Amazon.com
An HDMI Splitter takes the input (from the Media Player) and "splits" the signal to 2 or more ports.
HDMI Splitters can split to 2 ports up to 5-10 in some cases. Obviously the more ports, the higher the price.
An HDMI Splitter for 3 ports can be found for around $10 to $50.
Each port can be connected to an HDMI cable then directly plugged into the TV.
All TVs (and the HDMI Splitter, if it has power) should be powered on BEFORE turning on the media player. This ensures the media player correctly sees the TVs.
2) The second way is using the 2 HDMI ports on the media player
If you recently added a 2nd monitor to the media player, simply reboot the media player after both TVs are connected.
If that doesn't work you'll need to add a BAT file to your 'Startup' folder.
Copy/paste the following BAT file into 'Notepad':
@echo off
timeout 3
displayswitch /clone
Save the file as xCloneDisplayx.bat
Drag-and-drop a copy of the xCloneDisplayx.bat into the 'Startup' folder so it runs every-time at startup.
Next click on xCloneDisplayx.bat to execute the bat file and make sure the screens mirror.
