al-yeti Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Lan output? You intend to decode? Auto switch instead of manual hdmi switcher? Auto in what way I not the expert lol just copy what terms others use lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 What is the application? Switching between sources would be annoying for the viewer. Any reason for not using one NVR or two monitors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkey Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 I have two 4 way NVRs one is a IP cam system & one is a Analogue system, the units both have HDMI output and I want this to switch between the quad display on both NVRs on the one monitor.

Yes but any other way is just using a hdmi switch You specifically want to trigger it sitting on your sofa yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrolhead Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Just flicking between the inputs at set intervals? It'll look ****, die to the time the hdmi handshake takes. Get a hybrid or an 8 channel nvr and use the anslogue dvr as an encoder, or get a cheap sff pc like a sumvision cyclone and install ivms4200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyFish Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I've had some crazy requests in my time but this one sounds mental! You could maybe try pip depending on the tv but obviously one would have to be via bnc output, and it'll only be a small box in the corner of the screen. other option could be to use the ivms software, again depending on the tv (android etc) and whether or not they're on your network? All streams could then be added to one screen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
