I have a PC and want to connect with two monitors and 1 projector. 1 monitor is near the PC, the projector is 15 m far from pc, and the other monitor is 30 m far from pc.
i have 2 HDMI cables 15 m each and a HDMI splitter.
I can get signal from projector but not form the monitor that is 30 m away. How can i fix this problem? Thank you

Did you click the link, it works for me even though it only shows http.(due to the actual link being really long)
It looks like the HDMI splitter is not working if it won't even work with a 2m cable.
Does the splitter work with two short cables ? if it does but does not work with the longer cable then it is not working as an extender and is actually attenuating the signal .

Hi
30m is probably too far for an HDMI cable,I was getting artifacts using a 15m cable due to low signal strength so I used one of these ; http://
This solved my problem,I suspect at 30m the signal strength is too low to be detected properly.
The blue rotary you can see is a level control and when you plug it in you set it to 0 then increase it step by step until you get a good signal.

Thank you for your answer.
First - the link you send is empty.
Second - when i use only the 15m cable the signal is perfect, but when i try to connect the hdmi splitter (which also extends and improves transmission signal) there is no signal. I tried as well with a 2 m cable from pc to hdmi splitter and 15 m cable from hdmi splitter to monitor, still nothing. Any other suggestion?
