Time2Jet Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Does anyone know a way to display a text announcement on a TV, or send a snapshot to a display, short of having it have to switch over to OSD (which takes forever)?

Crustyloafer Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 As above, Toast notifications on LG TVs via the awesome Annex4 driver are the way to do this. South Africa C4 user 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time2Jet Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Video storm netplay hardware can send love video, snapshots or text. this installs locally, one at each display?i have EA-1s going in locally, but I assume the delay to switch ports won’t be much better than my extended EA-5?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time2Jet Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 I should have been clearer. pop up texts on the screen while watching TV in any room is what i’m looking for. i have it set up, but it takes forever for the inputs to switch to OSD. All still applies? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a VMM and then a fire TV or android tv/shield at each TV. watch second video https://www.video-storm.com/tiling.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggzlot Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 It’s a cheaper matrix than JAP but expensive to only do what you need. But then you get a heck of a lot more features too not just PiP Time2Jet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if it can do 4:4:4 subsampling? This is really interesting. I’ve always followed that you integrated it, upsides, downsides?I’m looking for a new matrix solution anyway. This could be interesting. I’ve looked at JAP, Atlona and my personal favorite AVPro Edge. Right now I’m TiVo mini VOX’s fir video to 3 locations and HDBaseT fir audio and vid to 2 other main zones through my Denon X8500. AVR’s suck at matrixing. I need a better solution.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Its a bring your own hardware platform, so if your hardware (that is compatible) meets those specs, then yes. https://www.video-storm.com/proddetail.php?prod=netplayhomedecoder https://www.video-storm.com/proddetail.php?prod=netplayready There is a new Encoder being tested right now that will be HDCP 2.2 compliant, right now the latest units are only 1.4 compliant. Not sure of the rest of the specs because it is not yet released but I'll be getting my hands on it once it is public.

eggzlot Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 oh and pros: its flexible, as an end user I can buy most of the hardware on my own. It is all configurable mostly via Composer HE and/or their Web interface. And they have customer support that answers email in a timely fashion. No specific routers or switches needed with custom firmware. Cat5 or even Coax will work. Seamlessly incorporates your IP cameras into the system without additional hardware per camera. Splashtiles is a nice feature but have not really invested time to set it up yet. Drawback: documentation is a bit sparse. software sometimes require manual updates. A bit slow on releasing / certifying new hardware but then again I just got a 4k tv less than a year ago and minus Netflix there isn't much 4k content for me so being able to pass 4:4:4 isnt such a huge deal - I just use the Tv App to watch Netflix local on that 4k tv and then I use a Roku to share Netflix to all other tvs in the house. I've never had a use of coordinating Netflix on 5 Tvs at once in my house - really just cable TV for big events need to be in sync around my house. the price is very attractive though when compared to other solutions and because its VoIP its very modular and not a fixed 8x8 type set up of traditional HDBaseT Daniel-J and Time2Jet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
