- Hi, this video shows you how to play your games console or watch your Android TV box in any room of your property and control the equipment as well.
I show a real life setup which allows me to play the Xbox 1S, PS3, Nintendo Switch and Android TV box in any room that I choose and by using USB extenders I can also control the games and TV box using the original controllers/keyboards etc.
Many thanks Vince
Man you must be the best dad if have children because you got all these game consoles in multi-room and you must be the best friend of amazing friends in your life to play video games in the living room or in the back room
I want to thank you for such an incredible video. I also just want to put it out there for anyone interested in implementing a similar setup. I went on amazon and purchased quite a few of these items but the one thing I learned is.... not any ordinary hdmi extender will work if you intend to bring switches and distribute the signals, you need an hdmi extender that works over tcp/ip. I did not have this information beforehand but now I have to make new purchases.
I like how you put a xbox 360 foe your thumbnail honestly clicked on this just because i was curious what we were working with back then
I already have my xbox connected to my monitor and mouse and keyboard but I still love to watch your videos
Love your set up, the only thing i do different in mine is i simplified my set uup with USB Hubs, and USB Type c Adapters, and all my HDMIS are also Hdmi over Ethernet, very useful for having tvs anywhere i want, and then i combo it with a few WIFI Extenders and MirrorCast Devices for tablets and things i have set up to be able to play anywhere anyone wants, its very useful for some of my little gaming parties i do now and then, or when friends have the kids over, and we wanna play games while they do. , i find powered USB hubs to be the biggest upgrade path for you in your set up, your reliant on base station power from what i saw and that can degregate latency. 10/10 very nice to see other people doing these crazy tech builds
Id love to talk to you Vince, im not educated on this stuff either and just love tearing things apart and re building them as well.
Wow and here I was thinking that we were headed for a wireless world lol........it seems we have a long way to go!
May i suggest you to use some kind of panel to hang all the devices and connectors in order to keep the wires neat and in order?
You'd recover a lot of space if you manage to create some order and proper cable management :)
In my setup i struggle every time i made an addiction, but i try as much as possibile to have a neat arrangement.
As a new subscriber anothet great video. Need to say this Vince you must have a really tolerable/loving wife/missus to allow or agree to you running all the cables/switching boxes etc all around the house lol. Some would have your bags packed and out. Keep the videos coming.
Hey Vince! Just a few things I've found with this:
PS4:
1) Apologies if you already know this, but it's only the CUH-ZCT2 controllers which work as wired controllers on the PS4. That should hopefully fix your problem.
2) If not, the Navigation controllers seem to work as wired controllers both on the PS3 and PS4 (they have to resync when I disconnect them.) Obviously, even if that does work, it'll greatly limit the games you can play, because it doesn't have all the buttons, and the PS Move controllers understandably only seem to work as wireless controllers on both consoles again (they don't have to resync when I disconnect them.)
3) If that still doesn't work, the PS3 controllers always seem to work as wired controllers, both on the PS3 as you've found, and on the PS TV (they have to resync when I disconnect them.) Therefore, if you can get them to work on the PS4, they should let you do this.
4) If all else fails, you could try using the wireless adapter at the end of the USB extender, and use the PS4 controller wirelessly. Maybe, if it were within Bluetooth range of that, rather than the actual console, it would still work.
PS TV:
Interestingly, it's only the PS3 controllers which seem to work as wired controllers on the PS TV, not the PS4 ones. The PS Move and Navigation controllers don't seem to be compatible with it at all, which is understandable.
Nintendo Switch:
While we already established that it's only the Pro controller which works as a wired controller, and not the Joy-Cons in the Joy-Con grip (I'm not sure about third-party controllers), I found I still had to use the Pro controller in my setup as the Bluetooth range of the Joy-Cons is not great.
Hope something of this is helpful! Thanks again for the video!
I was right about the PS TV btw. I realised there's an easy way to check on that whether you're using a wired controller or Bluetooth. You just click 'Settings', 'Devices' and 'Bluetooth Devices'. If you're using a wired controller, as opposed to Bluetooth, it won't have the green dot next to the controller.
It is only the PS3 controllers which act as wired controllers. Obviously, there's only the one USB port though, and using a USB hub only let me use two controllers as wired controllers, which then decided to keep disconnecting when I tried to play a game.
So, basically, if you're doing more than one player, I would just use Bluetooth (as long as you're within range) on either the PS3 or PS4 controllers.
Ethernet can travel HDMI signals and usb inputs from controllers.
I learned a lot from this seriously I didn't even know that was possible
Thanks Brandon.
Yes thx brandon. Copy

Wow this is amazing you are a genius

THIS MAN KNOWS HOW TO OPTIMIZE HIS SETUP
great video - like all those wires - all seem to have a purpose so keep up the good work.
You Got quite a big setup, YES the Slim PS-3 is about $95-110 at computer exchange stores, and most of that stuff is $10-15 at Amazon

Homes under the hammer aren't going to hire you as cameraman with work like that :) (useful video, thanks)
This is a damn good channel! Shouts from the states! 👍
For the problem with the ir remotes you could use an ir blaster with alexa or Google home to switch signal between devices
The online chat part of the ps3 can be solved if you use the Sony wireless stereo headset. That uses a usb dongle that you could plug into your second usb extension. That will pass your voice to online and pass game and chat audio to your ears instead of the tv.
awesome setup. thanks for shareing your knowledge with us.
your hair looks amazing. also i like your vocabulary. thingy mijigy. this is why i subscribed
Cant notice lag? Youre kidding me?
Still, solid effort with the setup.

This has happened twice
I was watching your videos at night and fell asleep with the phone in my hand
The two videos I fell asleep on was
How to setup the Wii u
And
How to setup the Xbox one X
Your voice sometimes makes me sleepy 😴😴😴💤💤💤
I'm wondering if instead of plugging that usb run into the controllers at the end of the run, you plug it into bluetooth controller dongle adapters for the systems.
You should do an update to this video with newer technology and newer versions of all these adapters and better versions and better adapters I would love to see an update to this videoAnd make a quick version I would just like to see it update to this video
This guy is so smart
This video will probably be a good reference for that.
Hey I love that video Dan
Now re-watching this also I recommend having all your games digital if you’re going to be doing this so you don’t have to keep going back-and-forth to rooms just put a game and every time you wanna switch games and play a different game
I love this video and this channel
When u only have tv so ur just watching this cus his voice is soothing in a weird way
Question, does the hdmi to ethernet converter use up all 8 of the ethernet wires? Or can I still run a usb over the 4 spare wires inside the kabel?
If it is one cable then no it only takes up one if it’s mutable yes
Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure Dual Shocks only work via BT. You can buy the 3rd party Sony endorsed "Pro" controllers that *DO* have USB control but I'm pretty positive that the basic DS controller (V1 & V2) only work via BT.
I think official X1 controllers work via USB or BT. I know their Pro model does but I think the base controller also works via USB.
IMO, it's maybe the only thing they did better than Sony this gen.
It would be good if you could also play 2 different consoles on 2 different tvs at the same time.
But you can
what you should also add it would be really good you should add a chrome cast
Really useful stuff. One question: does transferring the HDMI image work when using a homeplug setup? I use homeplug to play movies from my NAS to various media devices around the house...
Im not familiar with the term homeplug, but if it is pretty much the same thing as a powerline adapter (which sends an Ethernet connection through the mains wiring) then unless you are using HDMI over IP adapters it wont work (im not sure if it would work with HDMI over IP adapters, but if it does you may run into issues with the image quality, especially at higher video resolutions)
Them hdmi ethernet senders are way better with cat 5 cable had problems with cat 6 solid core and cat7 flat cables
Use cat5 also you can get same hdmi splitter with ethernet built in with powered reciever and has ir remote eyes too use cat5 probably not 4k either
Also if u cant be botherd with wires you can get 5ghz hdmi senders that dont interfere with Bluetooth and wifi 2.4ghz
Good video
Wow ffs bro i like the wire cupboard 😅😅😅
I ended up with 4 ethernet cables into my bedroom internet to second router, HDMIs back an forth was crap with sky 1080i was ok on playstation tho 😅
Holy shit, so many wires. I hate them and thinking how to remove, and you add more and more.
With the cost of all these extra cables, splitters, putting holes in walls, and the time taken its just cheaper to buy more consoles
But then you miss out on the fun in setting it up
That’s not the problem. The problem is wifi connection is poor. So the setup is much needed for those with game rooms outside of the house. A simple wire would fix.
With today's technology would you do anything different? Or upgrade anything?
Input lag would do my head in but nice setup.
Very new and investigating setting up a system in my off time here. Is it safe to say an HDMI switch or splitter will allow Xbox One and PS5 to LAN two TV screens on the same game?
Would u have 2 change the screen size each time?
For the PS4, it's not that the controller has to be within wireless range when the controller is connected via the cable.... USB 2.0/3.0 has a maximum length threshold. Therefore, if you try to connect the controller using a USB cable that's too long, the controller won't work.
Hi,
Can't you just use the USB ports from TV for controllers/keyboard&mouse?
Or an HDMI m to USB f (if u have more than 1 HDMI port and no USB ports).
I use SteamLink with my controller directly in my TV, but is LAG because is over WiFi.
I'm asking bcz I want to use and 10M HMDI cable and I need to know if I need a cable for USB as well.
Thanks
great vid
great job can you pls put the parts names and or a amazon link thank you
and if my wife say anything about the cable il gonna tell her that's it's ur fault :)
"Mr yes the thought has always been there having a central hub in a locked room for all your gaming equipment connected to each room . 'especially if you have kids to properly control the use of game time in the household, integrated sockets in the wall would certainly clean that mess up.. pro's and con's the longer the cable the .. you know the rest. Haha this video is 5 years old.
i use a nyruis hdmi transmitter 100'distance works great
How do we do it wireless though? My Bluetooth will reach but I can figure out how to mirror both tvs without all the wires
will this work in canada
So what do you do if you kid wants to play a game and you're watching a movie? Cause only 1 device can be displayed across all the tv's at once...this is cool but doesn't make sense to me, every body has to watch the same thing across all of the tv's
Sheem Cole 13:23 he explained this in the video.
no need to get confused
Sheem Cole or really this is all going to one HDMI input.
if you have more than one HDMI port on your tv you can hook up more stuff
I would rather have a dedicated game room..or put a different console in different rooms...lol ... example in my house...I have a xbox360 in one bedroom.. a android box with emulated games in the living room and a ps4 In a next bedroom
I kind of have a dedicated game room, i have a PC, an Xbox 360 S, an Xbox One X, and a Nintendo Switch, all in my bedroom, i do not have an Xbox Series X or a PS5 right now, but i plan on getting one of each, they will also go in my bedroom, i also do not have a PS3 or PS4, and i have no plans on getting either of those
Right now, my Xbox 360 S and also the Nintendo Switch dock are not connected up, because i don’t yet have a dedicated HDMI switcher for the consoles, so i have to connect the console that i want to use to the spare port on the KVM switch
I have a second 360 (one of the “elite” ones) connected to the TV downstairs, I plan on getting an Xbox Series S for the TV downstairs, and it will be connected to the “same” input on the AV receiver as the 360 (the AV receiver counts all the different types of connector assigned to that input button as the same source, and prioritises higher quality sources (for example, HDMI gets priority over Component, which gets priority over Composite)
So if the 360 is on at the same time as the series s, the series s gets priority, now all i have to do is find a console that i can connect via composite so that i can have a full set of consoles connected to a single input
the beginning when you say you're not a professional gamer now I feel like that's a lie but maybe not because I seen your other videos and you are so good at like those games and you have a thousand looking to a Playstation PS4 pro and turn the switch light and Xbox one s Xbox one x all the old Xboxes like almost every single game thing you can have or what you mean you're not a professional gamer
Owning consoles doesnt make one a pro dedication to your craft does
I am looking to do something like this so I can have my console be 30 metres away from my tv
Hope ur kitchen never floods.

Hey thanks for the video! Just to say, I've got the charging grip, and, when I disconnect it from a wired connection, it doesn't have to resync with the Nintendo Switch, as you showed it does with the Pro controller. (Suggesting it will only communicate wirelessly.)
So with PS4, you're saying it's only possible to do Remote Play, and there's no way to control it from another room otherwise? Thanks!
Thanks for the info about the charging grip, that is a shame as I thought the wired option might work :-(
Yes I can't control the PS4 via the controller from the other room, as soon as I am out of Bluetooth range then it won't work even when it is powered via USB.
Thanks Vince
That's alright. Yeah, it is a shame :(
Thanks for the info! That's a shame.
pppo
Hey vince please can you do a video of a closer look at the beelink box
Hi there, definitely. I am going to try and do a video on it this weekend :-)
Thanks vince
Anyone 2019 like
tell me the stuff i need to buy for xbox one if you will it'll help alot
Bro no one gonna buy an PS3 Nintendo switch Xbox one s and a PS4 at same time and even JUST puting a TV in your rooms wall is enough you can JUST play it even before You go to sleep or play it to like 3 am somthing and thats much easier also cheaper Cool vid tho
xbox 360 very big wow😍😍😍😍!!
Its a Xbox One S bruh!
would it be possible to also split the USB into several rooms? Setting up the same system myself, but do not have coverage for the controllers upstairs. Would need USB in 3 rooms.
You could do but you would need more USB extenders and a USB Hub and I am not sure even with these additional items whether splitting it along 2 or 3 runs would affect all the signals. Maybe you could put another USB splitter box after the 1st USB splitter box to divide it between different rooms to save it travelling down all the cables all the time.
Will try and work on some of your suggestions, will let you know how it goes.Thank you for your time.
can the usb thing be used for Wii u gamepad?
Can u buy a wireless hdmi thing to send the signal to a hd tv upstairs? Would I still be able to have 4K on my tv downstairs?
Yes you can as long as they are plugged in
Mr Vince what the name of your Samsung
I like computer games and I like convenience but I like neither enough to even contemplate anything like this.
great video

Plz see if you can do a sky Q multi room DIY vid :)
Hey Vince, sorry it's me again. Just to ask, in this setup, how do I stop the host TV changing input automatically when I turn a new device on? I mean, to change the input on the destination TV, I need to turn the device on that I want to use on it, and press the button on the HDMI splitter.
I have the same problem with doing Remote Play on the PS4 Pro, although I can just unplug the HDMI lead from the HDMI Switch to avoid the problem with that.
Apart from having the device already turned on, I can't really find a way around this (except maybe getting an HDMI matrix, which is considerably more expensive.) Can you help please? Thanks!
Hey there, you may not be able to depending on the TV. You could look into turning off CEC may be called AnyNet+, HDMI-CEC, SIMPLINK on the TV or HDMI Device Link on the PS4 etc. www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/5/18/15658876/samsung-tv-2016-automatic-hdmi-switching-complaints
or
us.community.samsung.com/t5/TVs/Turn-off-auto-detect-HDMI/td-p/2578
Thanks for the reply Vince! I meant that it was the HDMI switch which was switching inputs automatically, but I could have some things plugged into other HDMI ports on the TV, and then follow this advice to not make it switch inputs automatically on the TV either.
I mentioned HDMI matrices as I thought they wouldn't change inputs automatically as they have more than one output. Is that right? Thanks!
How many consoles does this guy have
What is I wanted multiple controls
Can x box be played on 1 TV and ps4 be played on other
Do we need to see your whole house ?
Claire Kingston yes, why would he not?
Nevermind I forgot you have that thought process and it's common sense
45:08 is that carbonara or Bolognese??
what is the HDMI
Do a laptop to a XBOX S
Try male to female USB cable
0:12: Xbox One S
9:10: Nintendo Switch
0:13: PlayStation 3
8:17: Android TV Box
Im confiused, so many wiers! And plug the Nintendo Switch in to the switch?
wouldn't it have lag input
Yeah
No projector
Mission controle 😃
Am I missing something? This looks like a mirroring setup, so all TVs show the same thing? Or is it possible for the TVs to be independently used somehow?
The setup he is using there displays the same image on all the connected TVs
I suppose in the case of the UK, if someone only used Freeview (which is essentially an unencrypted TV signal, usually digital but in some areas analogue signals may still be available), then a setup like this may be more useful than to someone who has a subscription TV service, as they would have a choice of TV or the HDMI source on each TV
But if you were to use a HDMI matrix switcher, then you could have each TV display a different source, however, you would only be able to change the sources if you are in the same room as the switcher
just take your switch out the dock its that easy
Why didn’t you try to get a Bluetooth extender
Because it gets a lot easier when you have a hardwired home.
The other is not the intended for
but if say you had 2 kids wanting to use the tv at the same time, one wanted ps3 and other wanted to watch pregramems, it wouldn't work.
Hi, yes it would work if one wanted the PS3 on one TV and one wanted to watch normal TV on another TV because you would select the source (input on the TV) so for example all the consoles could be connected to all the TVs on input HDMI1 but then you can still watch TV via the aerial or a set top box via HDMI 2 or HDMI 3 etc.
You planning a party with all that booze? I'll help you drink it if you like!
