I use the splitter to connect my Apple TV to two different HDMI inputs on my AV receiver at the same time. Why do I do this? One input has a setup that is set up for audio, the other for video. Depending on whether I am listening to music or watching a film, I then select the other input of the receiver. Actually, it's the same as if you (like you) want to connect two different devices. Conveniently, you don't have to switch anything on the splitter. In this respect, I would think that your application should work.
