I have a few consoles setup on my desk and I think it would be neat to be able forgo switching inputs on my monitor.
It could be useful for setting up a picture-in-picture system and using the inputs in EmuVR to play non-Retroarch consoles like my Xbox 360 and original Xbox.
Is this feasible? I would be fine playing at lower resolutions. I have attempted it with a cheap Ali Express HDMI to USB device but the latency through a wrench into that idea. I am wondering if a more capable capture device could be the answer.
Also would my graphics card play a big factor? I have 1070ti so I feel like it should be fine.
I feel like it’d have to be pretty expensive and you may as well just… buy a 2nd monitor?
If a DeckLink or an Aja card doesn’t cut it, nothing will.
I hate to be the negative person, but I think you would be adding so much complications that it would necessarily cause delay at the very least. I’d be fascinated to see if you could prove me wrong, though.
No worries. I was wondering if anyone else has done it already so I wouldn’t need to do some potentially expensive experimenting. I feel like I’ve seen devices specifically for splitting and sharing inputs somewhere before.
It’s not cheap but I did this just fine with the Elgato 4K
The latency isn’t too bad? At $200 that doesn’t seem too bad compared to some alternatives I’ve seen suggested
Sunshine and Moonlight are what you want instead.
How does that help him play his 360 without swapping inputs around?
Sorry thought he wanted to play emulators from his 1070 rig.
