UGREEN CM570 HDMI Splitter 1 In 4 Out carries one HDMI 2.0 source to four screens at 4K 60Hz, priced at KSh 3,500 at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The unit ships brand new and sealed in UGREEN 90514 retail packaging. Video and audio travel together to all four outputs, with 18Gbps of bandwidth behind them. The UGREEN CM570 runs on USB-C power at 5V/1A, so a phone charger, a TV USB port, or a laptop port keeps it alive. Setup takes under a minute with no drivers and no software.
Kenyan buyers reach for the UGREEN CM570 when two screens stop being enough. Restaurants and eateries in Kilimani and Westlands hang four televisions and want the same match on all of them, from one DStv decoder. Gyms in Nairobi CBD feed treadmill-facing panels from a single media player. Hotel lobbies, hospital waiting bays, and matatu SACCO offices run one advert loop across four panels. Exhibition teams at Sarit Centre and KICC mirror a demo reel to every corner of a stand. Four separate decoders or media boxes would cost tens of thousands of shillings. The CM570 handles it for KSh 3,500.
Cheap unbranded four-port units flood the Kenyan market and fail in familiar ways: black pictures, flicker, audio dropping on one port, and 4K feeds quietly stepping down to 1080p. UGREEN answers that with a four-mode EDID selector and full HDCP 2.2 handling on the CM570, which is why users consistently report stable output across mixed television sizes. At Mascom International, we're witnessing repeat purchases from AV installers, signage companies, and hospitality managers who had been replacing splitters every few months. Bring your own decoder or media player to our Kimathi Street counter and watch the UGREEN CM570 run before you pay.
Common Questions About the UGREEN CM570 HDMI Splitter
How does the UGREEN CM570 push one picture onto four televisions at the same time?
It takes one HDMI signal and copies it to four HDMI screens at the same time. Plug your laptop, decoder, or console into the single input port. Plug four televisions, monitors, or projectors into the four output ports. Every screen shows identical content with identical sound. The CM570 is a splitter, not a switch: it duplicates one source across many displays rather than choosing between many sources. That distinction matters when you compare product listings online.
Do all four ports hold 4K at 60Hz together, or does quality drop as screens are added?
Yes. The CM570 supports HDMI 2.0 with 18Gbps of bandwidth, which is enough for 3840x2160 at 60Hz on every output at once. It steps down cleanly to 4K 30Hz, 2K 60Hz, and 1080p 60Hz where a screen cannot handle the higher mode. One condition applies: every connected display must itself support 4K 60Hz. If one monitor tops out at 1080p, EDID settings determine what the rest receive.
Is the UGREEN CM570 a video wall controller for splitting one image across four panels?
No, and this is the most common mix-up we correct at the Kimathi Street counter. A video wall controller cuts one image into tiles so four panels form one giant picture. The CM570 does something different: it copies the whole picture to each screen, so all four show identical content and identical audio. For a restaurant, gym, hotel lobby, or shop window, that duplication is what you actually want.
There is no wall adapter in the box, so what powers the UGREEN CM570?
The supplied USB-A to USB-C cable does, drawing 5V at 1A from any common source. Plug it into a phone charger, the USB service port on the back of a television, a laptop, or a power bank. Power must stay connected the entire time the unit runs. Unpowered operation is a known cause of dropped signals and black pictures on four-output units. Mascom stocks 5V wall adapters at the counter for KSh 500 upwards.
Will a PS5, a DStv decoder, or a MacBook feed the CM570 without extra adapters?
Yes. The CM570 accepts any standard HDMI source: PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox Series consoles, Nintendo Switch, DStv and Zuku decoders, Apple TV, Fire TV Stick, Blu-ray players, Windows laptops, MacBooks with HDMI or an adapter, and desktop PCs. Output goes to televisions, monitors, and projectors. No drivers install on any operating system. Gamers should note that mirroring adds no meaningful input lag on the CM570.
Which cable gauge and run length do I need for a four-screen 4K install?
Cable quality and length set your real ceiling. For 4K 60Hz, UGREEN rates 3 metres of 30AWG cable on the input side and 5 metres of 28AWG on each output. For 4K 30Hz, 15 metres of 26AWG works on both sides. For 1080p 60Hz, 20 metres of 24AWG holds, and thin 1080p runs stretch to 40 metres. Long cable runs across a hall need thicker cable, not just longer cable.
What is EDID and why does the CM570 let me change it?
EDID is the handshake where a screen tells the source what resolutions it can display. With four screens attached, that conversation gets messy and causes black screens or flicker. The UGREEN CM570 gives you four EDID modes so you can force a resolution that all connected screens accept. UGREEN advises connecting your highest-resolution display to output port 1. Output 1 also passes CEC, so a TV remote can still control the source.
Will 4K Showmax and Netflix streams play through the CM570 without an error screen?
Yes. The unit handles HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.4, the copy-protection standards that streaming services and pay-TV decoders require. Without HDCP 2.2, a 4K Netflix or Showmax stream returns a blank or error screen instead of video. That failure is common on the cheapest splitters sold locally. Note that HDCP 2.2 needs support from the source, the splitter, and every attached screen, so old televisions may still refuse 4K streams.
Can I connect more than four displays using the UGREEN CM570?
Yes, through cascading. Feed one output of the first CM570 into the input of a second unit, and repeat. UGREEN rates the design for three cascade levels, reaching as many as 64 screens on a single source. Each stage needs its own power and adds a little signal loss, so keep cable runs short at every level. Large signage installations across Kenya are built exactly this way, one unit at a time.
