Seeking for a Dual HDMI IN -> Single HDMI OUT external tool for split screen gaming.

Hello everyone, title says almost all but since I'm pretty new in TV tech and video signal things, I prefer to come here and ask for help to eventually more experienced people.

 

I am searching for an external device, that can accept 2 HDMI video streams of 1920*1080 at 60 frames per seconds, and outputs a splitsceen view of both signals at the same time on a single monitor with audio streams combined.

The output would be 1920*1080 at 60 FPS, but both video streams in the 1920*1080 area, not a 1920*2160 or 3840*1080.

 

I have no idea if such a thing exists, and if it exists, a device that is not very expensive,

and in best cases, a device that can let you choose the disposition of the 2 streams in the output area (vertical or horizontal disposition)

 

Thanks for reading !

maybe you can find a KVM that can do that, but I highly doubt it

what are the two imputs that need to be split screened? I assume a webcam and game?

I like Computer Stuffs. Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it in again? Automation Expert (Bots, scripts, etc)! Add me on Xbox Live: JollyPlanet449 And on Steam!: Baxtmann Wanshow.tips is a cool place too

Yes this is the kind of thing I'm seeking for, looks like the second one is more the thing I'm searching for, not that expensive I'm pretty surprised.

I will continue to search, I would really like to find a 2 in 1 out thing, 4 in 2 out seems a bit overkill for my needs, but it exists at least so thats a good sign :)

Would that thing do the job ?

 

http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00182940.html  (sorry it's in french... can't find product reference anywhere)

 

Looks like it can have up to 4 input streams and make splitscreen of source 1 and 2 on tv 1 and 3 and 4 on tv 2.

But I'm not sure, I need to be sure ^^

 

EDIT : mmm, looks like it's not doing the job after all, it can display streams on 2 TVs, but only one stream at a time.

I need something capable of producing both streams in a signle display at the same time.

Seems like I found the thing :

 

 

This one looks like the super overkill solution though. I'm interested into casual gaming with friends nothing more lol (since splitscreen is dying on consoles and not very present on PC games.)
