  • Hi, this video shows you how to connect up a Windows 10 PC to all the TVs in the house using a HDMI splitter. I show a diagram explaining the setup and then show my actual setup so hopefully it will make sense.
    This setup is good if you want to do your work on one PC and play a movie for the children on a TV in another room.
    I have also connected up a HDMI switch before the HDMI Splitter to have the option to show/play the Xbox One S on all the Televisions as well within the range of the gaming controller.
    Netflix, Now TV, RUclips and all the online catch up providers all seem to work much better on the computer rather than using Apps so this setup is ideal as it allows you to use the computer to watch whatever you want on any TV that is connected to the HDMI splitter. Even if you don't have HDMI cables installed in your property you can run the HDMI signal down 2 cat5e or cat6 cables using HDMI over Ethernet adapters.
    Many thanks Vince

    Nice video, I set up a system like this a few years ago using Windows Vista.with an XFI 6870 graphics which had 6 video outputs. By using a graphics card with more outputs, You will be able to then run up to 6 separate extended desktops. I run three separate desktops from the one graphics card, Desktop 1. to the PC, desktop 2. to the living room HDTV & a 3rd independent extended desktop to my bedroom TV. I was successfully using three of the 6 outputs with 3 completely independent extended desktop screens & simply used a few pairs of bluetooth keyboard & mouse to control the PC from different rooms.

    If you have an existing ethernet setup, you can use female usb to male rj45 adapters and have usb keyboard+trackpad in each room to control the main PC (or use long usb extension cables)
    Thanks for the vid Vince :)

    • @Mymatevince
      @Mymatevince  7 лет назад +1

      Thanks for this. I was actually experimenting with this a couple of days ago and it works fine but what would be good is if you could have 2 mouse pointers on the one PC so I could do work on one screen with one mouse/keyboard and then on the extended screen another user could use the mouse independently from the other mouse but unfortunately I can't find any software/workarounds that exists. It is not a major problem with the mouse because if the mouse pointer disappears from my screen I know it is being used in a different room on a different screen but the typing can cause problems!!! If you or anyone reading this knows if it is possible to get 2 mouse pointers working please share.
      Many thanks Vince.

    Hi Vince, firstly just want to say having just moved into a new house I find all your videos helpful and informative!
    Will this one work over HomePlug network of ethernet cabling?

    • @Mymatevince
      @Mymatevince  7 лет назад

      Hi, I haven't tried it but I am almost certain that HDMI over Ethernet will not work over the powerlines (Homeplug) because I think all the HDMI adaptors do it push the signal down all the different wires on the 2 x cat5e cables (16 wires) so as far as I know it isn't actually using any Ethernet signal it is just using the wires in the cat5e/6 cable to connect tot he HDMI wires.
      Thanks Vince

    • @Mymatevince
      @Mymatevince  7 лет назад

      Just done a bit of research and although they are very expensive. approx. £120+ it looks like you can now get HDMI that actually works on the Ethernet signal so in theory it should work over any Ethernet even powerlines (homeplugs) but it would definitely be worth doing further research before spending that much.

    Hi Vince, your video is very educative. I wish I could connect more than 4 TVs to the same pc and have several videos played from on the same pc and having each video directed specifically to a particular tv at a time. Meaning you'll have all the TVs showing different videos from the pc at a time. If you have been able to do that, kindly share with me. For example have TVs A, B, C, D, E, & F all connected to one pc through a splitter and playing several videos from the pc, let's say using VLC, you direct video 1 to Tv A, video 2 to Tv B, video 3 to Tv C etc in that order.

    • @Mymatevince
      @Mymatevince  7 лет назад +1

      Hi, those HDMI to VGA leads don't work as you mentioned because the HDMI is digital and the VGA is analogue. You can get converters but they just show the picture and no sound so you may have problems getting the sound out of the Xbox One.

    Hi Vince, I have a Smart TV in my living room that I use as my monitor which is now connected directly to my PC, which is right next to that Smart TV. But now I would like to also connect my other TV which is in my bedroom about 30 ft -35 ft away from that same PC in the living room. Plus I would need a wireless mouse/keyboard that could operate my bedroom TV at the distance of 30 ft because my router is next to the Smart TV. I'd also like to connect my PS 4 which is located next to my PC & Smart TV as well. If you can, I would like to know the best way for me to connect these 2 TVs & the PS 4 and which items I would need to purchase. Thank You, Dave

  • @leannewoodall9680
    @leannewoodall9680 6 лет назад

    Vince, wondering if you may be able to lend some knowledge in our situation. We have two smart tv monitors in our church sanctuary. Prior to purchasing these, we ran one projector from our laptop for song lyrics, announcements, etc. We would like to do away with the projector and use only the two smart TVs as monitors. We would like to do this wireless if at all possible. Any ideas or thoughts? TIA!

    • @Mymatevince
      @Mymatevince  6 лет назад

      Hi, if the laptop is running Windows 10 you may be able to use screen mirroring on the smart TV's, you can project the laptop screen onto the TV if both the laptop and TV support it. If not you could look into Google Chromecast. Lastly you could look into wireless HDMI (if your laptop has a HDMI port) but this one is very expensive although it has very little delay which is great. The range on all of these options is not very good so you may have to run a long HDMI cable or VGA etc. depending on your equipment. Running a cable is always the best result.
      Thanks, Vince :-)

    • @leannewoodall9680
      @leannewoodall9680 6 лет назад

      Thanks Vince! We have been trying with Chromecast, but continue to encounter range issues as our sanctuary is quite large. We have purchased signal boosters, but are still having issues with the reliability. We may have to go with the cable after all...I am all for reliability especially to run a seamless performance. Thank you for allowing me to pick your brain!

      The only way I have found to plausibly do it is to have a PC and chrome cast the desktop to the other display. But this will only work to one other monitor or tv
      As far as I know there is no way to witlessly push video from one PC to multiple devices
      I suspect you will also run into audio/video sync issues
      But let me know if you find a way to do it because this is exactly what I’m trying to do as wel

      Charge your Galaxy Book

      Just like a phone or tablet, your Galaxy Book needs to be charged to keep its battery going. Use the included charger to give it a charge whenever it needs some juice. We also have some tips to help extend battery life, so it will last and last.
      Information provided applies to Galaxy Book models sold in Canada. Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Samsung accessories are designed to help maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and/or cause damage to your Galaxy Book.
      Charge the battery
      What kind of charger does your Galaxy Book use? The regular Galaxy Book, the Galaxy Book2, the Galaxy Book S, and the Galaxy Book Flex all use a Samsung USB-C charger. They also all support fast charging! However, the Galaxy Book S comes with a 25 W charger instead of 15 W.

      To charge your device, connect the charger's USB cable to the power adapter. Insert the cable into the Galaxy Book's charging port. Next, plug the adapter into a wall socket. After the battery is fully charged, the Power LED will change color. Disconnect your Galaxy Book from the charger.
      Help prolong your Galaxy Book's battery
      There are a couple things you can do to help prolong your Galaxy Book's battery life:
      Decrease the screen's brightness.
      Close any unnecessary or unused apps.
      Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi if they are not being used.
      When you are not using your Galaxy Book, enable Sleep mode by pressing the Power key.
      Turn on Battery saver mode. Select the Battery icon in the taskbar and then select the switch to activate "Battery saver mode".
      The Battery life extender feature automatically stops your Galaxy Book from charging past 85%. This helps prolong the overall battery life of the device. However, you can disable Battery life extender if you want to charge the Galaxy Book to 100%.
      Battery charging tips and precautions
      Here are some things to take into consideration when it comes to charging your Galaxy Book:
      The Galaxy Book can be used while it is charging but it will take longer to fully charge.
      Using a power source other than the adapter, such as a computer, may result in a slower charge.
      If the battery is not charging properly, take your Galaxy Book and charger to the nearest Samsung Service Center for inspection.
      If the battery is completely drained, the Galaxy Book cannot be turned on immediately after connecting the charger. Let the battery charge for a few minutes before attempting to turn on your Galaxy Book.
      While charging, the Galaxy Book and the charger may become hot. This is normal and should not affect the Galaxy Book's lifespan or performance. If the battery gets too hot, it may stop charging.
