I want to consider splitting the HDMI output of an Nvidia Shield TV so video (& audio?) goes to my TV, and it also goes to my amp solely for the audio to be used.
ie: So HDR or Dolby vision video can go to my TV, and then say Dolby Atmos audio can go to my amp.
Can a simply HDMI splitter simply duplicate one HDMI output to the two destinations?
Or do you need something far more expensive like the Fury AVR?
ps: TV is an LG E7 which happily accepts the likes of dolby vision and audio, but obviously cannot then ARC the audio to an Amp without down grading it. I believe if it's sent more advanced audio formats such as Dobly Atmos, it downgrades it to then send over HDMI ARC to an amp?
