So what I'm reading here is that in Japan, Microsoft is going to use the PS4 as a selling point for the Xbox One. BRILLIANT!
Yeah, it's gonna be a fucking slideshow
It's a damn video feed. Any overlays and such can easily be done without affecting the actual feed itself. And modify? So I'm going to be able to add video filters to my PS4?!
So what you're saying is that the Playstation 4 has no true exclusives.
"Xbox, play Playstation 4."
More on topic, would anyone actually plug a PS4 into a X1 other than as a joke? I cant see the benefit unless you have a shortages of HDMI ports on your tv.
Could we create an infinite loop?
It will also be shrinking the HDMI input video down to provide the snap functionality. This is not a simple passthrough.
I didn't say it would be a slideshow. I said the video will likely be delayed slightly, which will mean it will lag slightly more.
I would be surprised if the HDMI-In in the XBO doesn't add some considerable latency given all the processing that it does on that feed.
Do HDMI switch boxes have remote control or extend CEC to a host device themselves to control? Or do they switch to active signals automatically if a new one is connected and powered while others are? I haven't thought much about switchboxes for HDMI since my television and receiver takes all of connections. Would be supremely convenient if possible.
Some people, myself included, use their receiver to handle all components, and only have one OUT to the TV from the receiver. And that out is only passing the video image to the TV, all audio is handled through the receiver. My TV's speakers are totally disabled as a result.Or you could connect PS4 to the second HDMI input in your TV and make things much easier for you. What's the point of this?
my receive does. My receiver has a HDMI switch built in, and my PS3 will go through the receiver and turn the TV on (and set the receiver to the correct HDMI input for it too)
I would be surprised if the HDMI-In in the XBO doesn't add some considerable latency given all the processing that it does on that feed.
Oh, duh. I didn't think of that. Gonna hook up my new-ish receiver to the X1 pass-thru now and everything else directly into that. At least, that's the one thing really good about Wii U's LPCM/HDMI-only surround audio output forcing me to upgrade receivers. I hope this works as well as I imagine it will.
we must go deeper.
Still seems redundant why would u want to have both consoles running at once consuming tons of power when ur only using. One.
but then what is your Xbox plugged into..?
I still haven't gotten my head around this. If you run everything into your receiver and then into the xbox, you can't run the xbox into the receiver.
I *think* I'd just run my DVR into the xbox and then into the receiver - keep it simple.
Must be me. But didn't we already knew that you could plug any HDMI device into the X1 and it will work? Why is this suddenly news again?
Fair enough. Still waiting to hear if the passthrough will also work if the X1 is turned off/stand-by.Well, obviously, it makes sense for it to work by virtue of its connection. Apparently, though, many still don't understand that it does work. Not everyone knows, therefore it is news to someone. The smaller details still need revealing, though.
/thread"Xbox, play Playstation 4."
In this case, the X1 is connected directly to the display. Wouldn't it be able to send audio back through to the receiver?
Could we create an infinite loop?
Too bad it seems like you only snap an app screen to a game screen though. If you could have two apps then I could have the PS3+Netflix going at once.
We need to go deeper.But will it support another Xbox One?
Hard hitting journalism from Gamespot there....
The rumored secret sace was PS4 all along
