First off, I'll say I got ahead of myself and ordered this before truly questioning the "splitter" look. When it came I really thought the splitter I needed was 1 female, 2 males (what "splitting" infers). Even upon reading reviews that said it A) worked as I wanted it to and B) worked as a way to give a TV, or the like, more inputs, I was still skeptical. But, I hooked it all up (xbox component cable to one of the female connections. The male connection to my recording device. Finally, a male-to-male component cable (sold separately) plugged in to the other female connection and my TV. The Monoprice does not distinguish that the female connections differ in any way. So, I just assume it is by some sort of magic powers that this hookup worked perfectly!
Only downside, there is some quality lost for recording devices (though that's POSSIBLY the software I'm using, but it's only when things are moving *too* quickly on-screen) but NOT the TV (which is why I think it's my software/input and NOT the splitter).
Be forewarned, if you're doing this for video game recording, as I did, you'll need an additional male-to-male component cable in order to use it correctly. I imagine other hookups would be the same, but I have not actually done those.
