What you need is an HDMI "splitter" (not an HDMI switchbox). Future Shop sells a couple of models of 2-way splitter (click here to see one of them) - you can daisy-chain a couple of these boxes to effectively create a 3-way splitter. Alternatively you could buy a 4-way splitter - do an internet search to find retailers of these devices.

You also could send it through a video disrtibution unit or matrix device, these allow you to send multiple signals to multiple display devices simultaneously. We have access to these devices at Future shop, and our connect pro teams are experienced in installing them

Re: Multiple hdmi

Will daisychaining these splitters lead to signal degradation? I know it's a digital signal, but just curious to know if it will still have an impact (i.e. increased abundance of artifacts).

Re: Multiple hdmi

It may degrade thesignal depending on the quality and length of the cables . for best results some type of video distribution device like a matrix is preferred
