@Dashrender What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
my AV equipment is in a remote location to viewing area.
I want to put a monitor where the viewing equipment is so I can make changes, updates and see that the output is working without having to go back to the viewing room each time I make a change.

Don't you have a monitor out on your AV receiver?
HDMI splitter may also work

I don't want to be that guy but couldn't you just set up a wireless security camera that only supports live streaming of video and monitor it that way? Seems like an awful lot of work for very little gain.

yes I do, but as I explained above, I don't know how output on AV receivers work.
In the PC world, when you connect a 1366 x 768 display to an HDMI port, that's all the resolution you get. You might be lucky and able to force it to something different, but unlikely.
But the ability to force this type of change seems unlikely on AV equipment. So I'm wondering, does the AV equipment know what the receiving display is capable of outputting, or does it not care and just output whatever it's set to?

Lots of screens only show their native resolution. So no matter what you feed them, they show you native.

OK that's good to know (I think).
So I'm going to have a 4K TV on the main output from the receiver, and a 1080p or less on the secondary one - does anyone thing this won't work when I'm watching 4K content? i.e. the secondary monitor won't work?

Both ends negotiate about protocols, codecs, resolution and so on. After this "handshaking" the sender will choose the best that was offered by the receiver. A good sender may allow you to choose a mode from a list. I'm not a Yammi fanboy, so I can't help with your receiver.

At the end of the day, you should just try it. Got a spare TV or Full-HD HDMI monitor?

I will have to buy something to try it.

@Dashrender Would get some used HDMI TV or Monitor (Full HD., 1920x1080). You may use that as your monitor later. If it doesn't work as expected, well, happy second monitor for your home office

When you are looking at the small HD displays that have lower than HD resolution ever single one of them have scalers in them for 1080p and 720p the are meant for professional video applications with field monitors. We do not use scalers between the source and them, the moms toes do it themselves..
There is so much bad information in this thread it's not even funny. This site is becoming another spiceworks.

So this will be a temporary setup? Just to confirm everything is working?

Where's the bad info? Seriously asking.
I've been asking questions, granted questions with assumptions, but still questions.

I'm willing to buy a $100 mini monitor to leave in the AV rack permanently.

Look on Amazon or eBay for a Lilliput HDMI monitor should do what you need
