An HDMI splitter sounds like it is probably the best bet. As long as you get a simple splitter without any kind of scaling capabilities, then it should not affect the video signal at all and functions much like a reclocking distribution amplifier would.
Some of the newer 4K HDMI splitters include down or upscaling capabilities for compatibility with both HD and 4K equipment depending on the signal format, so you may want to avoid those and just get a simple 1x2 or 1x4 split model or however many outputs you need.
Another option if you have a HyperDeck with an SDI input, would be to use a Micro Converter BiDirectional 3G (or 12G) as these have both HDMI and SDI inputs and outputs. So you could use this as a signal splitter out of the ATEM and send the HDMI output to the Teradek Vidiu and the SDI output to the HyperDeck.
You could also use the HDMI output from the HyperDeck and send that into the Teradek I suppose, but this could be problematic if you ever put the HyperDeck in playback (rather than record mode) as then the HyperDeck playback video would be sent into the streaming device.
