azkid Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I just installed a video over ip device that takes the inputs from one room and plays it in another. The setup is video sources go into a hdmi switch, the switch output goes into the ip input which sends the source to the 2nd room and the loop keeps the source in the current room. The setup works perfect to mirror content in both rooms. Now I am trying to figure out how to control the sources (Apple TV, firestick, gaming console) from a remote in the 2nd room while also not turning on the first room. Is there a way to have Control4 put a video source in two rooms at a time? Seems like I need a virtual switch? Thought maybe path setter but that only allows for one input/output. I have remotes in both rooms but I want to be able to turn the rooms on independently while still also being able to mirror when I want. What’s the best way to do this?

azkid Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Just tried to create a virtual switch with one input and 2 outputs (each going to a different room) and in only the 1st room do the sources show up, the 2nd room I can add them to the navigator but there is no watch menu on the c4 app in that room. It does look like it works on the remote. Any idea how to get the app to show the duplicate sources in the 2nd room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstafford388 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 If those video sources are available on the remote but not the app in that room you probably don't have the watch favorited in that room. hit the 4 in the top left and you should see it there. Press and hold the watch and favorite it to the room. azkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does.....but can be removed, and once manually removed it wouldn't automatically come back. Unless it's some sort of weird bug/glitch, I would suspect that at some point, watch was visible (because an experience button got placed in it for example) and was manually 'hidden' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
