A lot of TH-camrs are putting Flat Panels behind them as Windows. Add this box and the setup is done. Either drive from a 4k Input or use that Internal Memory for constant changing backgrounds during a Stream.
Thanks for sharing this. This is way cool and easy!! We have several applications that this will work for on base. Love the fact that it just turns on and works. Other devices have menus to navigate when 1st turned on.
Cool stuff Anthony! Quick q’s if you don’t mind. Can it assign separate 1080p videos and/or images to each output rather than just splitting a 4K clip? And how seamless is the video looping… ie, would it be distracting to use as a background (lots of devices have an annoying stutter when they loop).
This is a 4K player. It plays one 4K clip. I haven't checked it to see how seamless the looping is, because the one clip I have of the news background, I looped for 3 minutes in the timeline, so it's perfect within that, and then 3 minutes till the whole clip loops around again. That's a great way to hide a loop.
Take your non-linear editor of choice, and then put four 1080p videos in the four corners of a 4K timeline. That's what 4K is. Top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right. You may need to adjust the exact position of the different HD video clips to match how the 4K player cuts up the 4K video back into HD clips..
Is there a way to have the menu only show on one of the sources instead of all four? I’m thinking one monitor could be in a control room while the other three are placed in different zones. Also, how does the audio work? I’m guessing it’s just l/r audio that would go to all of the displays.
You can briefly switch it to 1x1 mode in which case all four outputs show the whole menu, as opposed to being spread across 4 monitors. You are correct - the single stereo track goes out each of the four HDMI outputs.

Can be useful in single video loop.
Genius use of this.
Thanks!

Yes that autoplay was something I didn't know was going to be baked into the device's OS but was a nice bonus!
Quite the timesaver. Nice find.
Agreed! Thanks!
Supper cool! Thanks for sharing
Hope it helps you!
Je pense que je vais l’acheter.
Merci pour le partage.
Merci.

I really like this idea. Can I ask, how do you make a 4K video from 4 1080p videos?
