It’s a 1x4 Snap, and generally works but not always.

Comcast box to splitter, to 1 TV HDMI direct, 2 more through HD BaseT, and last output to an AVR before going to the last TV.

If the AVR gets shut down, the three other TVs may blank out and not return. Restarting the AVR usually brings it back.

Maybe I need a 1x2 as a clock splitter?

Maybe run to the AVR first, then the splitter, since the AVR will pass through the HDMI signal even if it’s off?

You might need a Hot Plug interrupt device like our AIO (EDID “All In One” repair tool) or our VCT (Hot Plug Interrupt device).
However both require a control system relay to create the interrupt function.

There is an easy test to determine if these products will work.
When system is on and the problem presents itself, unplug/replug the HDMI cable.
If issue is fixed our devices are the cure.

Have the relay available.

Unplug from cable box I assume?

The switch open/close - just for a couple seconds?

Updated.

Four televisions, three coming off an HDMI splitter, the fourth splitter output going to an AVR and then to the main family room television.

With the whole system on, I could turn off the television that is fed by the AVR, and after a few moments of black screen, the picture would reappear on the remaining three televisions. No further issues. That's what I wanted.

With the whole system on, I could turn off the AVR and same same. After a few moments, all is well.

It was when I turned off the AVR, and two seconds later turned off it's TV that the three other screens went black and stayed that way.

I changed my macro as follows:

HDMI2 to get the TV on the right input for next time
1 sec pause
AVR Off
8 sec pause (during which the FOUR televisions re-sync)
TV Off

The other three televisions don't go through a re-sync, and will remain on as hoped.
