Application Notes

How to Watch 2 Football Games on a Single TV Screen

The SPLITMUX-HD-2LC can be used with two satellite/cable boxes and/or computer live streams to allow two football games to be displayed on a single television screen. In this example, the two connected sources are a wired set-top box and a laptop with a live streaming TV channel. The user is able to watch two football games on one display and selectively choose which audio channel to listen to at any time.

Dual mode

In dual mode, the screen is split into two fields of equal size displaying the entire contents of two different video sources side-by-side.
- Dual Mode A: The original images are displayed with half of their original width and stretched vertically to fill entire display.
- Dual Model B: The original images retain their aspect ratio.
  - Black bands will appear above and below the input images when aspect ratio is retained.
Fluid, real-time video performance with 60 frames per second (fps).

Full Screen Mode

In full screen mode, one of the two video sources is displayed in full screen size and maximum resolution.

Picture in Picture (PIP) Mode

In PIP mode, the full screen display of one of the two video sources is accompanied by one small image (thumbnail) of the other video source on one corner of the screen, allowing simultaneous monitoring.
- The location of the thumbnail image can be chosen by selecting the "position" button.
- The size of thumbnail image is selectable.
  - Size 1: 19.6% of monitor size
  - Size 2: 23.3% of monitor size
  - Size 3: 30% of monitor size
- If there is no video source connected to the thumbnail, its screen will remain black.
