Posted August 7, 2015 Basically you stick it in a PCI-E slot and plug a HDMI device in(Such as a Playstation 4) and your device will output on your screen through your PC (In full HD) so you can alt tab out of your device to check your emails and such. Just wondering if it exists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 7, 2015 You can get an HDMI switch box, then plug you computer and play station into that. Then instead of alt-tab you tap the button to switch inputs....

Posted August 7, 2015 This is the switch I use from monoprice, you will never need the remote for console use as it is somewhat smart. If you are using the pc and it detects you have turned the ps4 on it will automatically switch to the input and when you turn it off as long as the pc is on it will switch back. Not a perfect solution but gets the job done. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011001&p_id=8202&seq=1&format=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 8, 2015 You could get a full HDMI Capture Card, some of them have passthru, but it would not be a good experience in the way you'd like. I imagine there would be a TON of latency. probably about 2 seconds. Unless your Carey-Holzman, and some how you figure out how to freaking just make latency walk-a-way when you scam a scammer.

Posted August 8, 2015 Capture card? And isn't PS3/4 equip with browser? ^^^^ That's my post ^^^^ <-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar --> vvvv Who's there? vvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 8, 2015 Capture card? And isn't PS3/4 equip with browser? Capture card usually introduces a second or so of Lag. Totally fine for capturing footage, but makes it useless for playing games. The PS3 and 4 have browsers, but I do not believe they allow an "alt+tab" like experience. You'd have to exit the game, open the browser, then restart the game.

Posted August 9, 2015 the OP has a neat idea... it would be cool to have a different device output to a window inside of an OS. someone should do that.

Not true. Very little latency on cap cards or at least the Avermedia live gamer hd. I used mine for a while like that. It's pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol... that makes gaming in consoles even worse than it already is. Origin has had browser in-game since launch. ^^^^ That's my post ^^^^ <-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar --> vvvv Who's there? vvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
