Nice setup....what suggest for a PC that uses 2 display port and I want to connect 3 monitor extended

[@RazeDee]

This is exactly what I was looking for. A matrix switcher. Great video!

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Awesome. Thanks.

[@seyiadesigbin]

Amazing content! This has to be one of the best tutorials I have watched on KZbin. Very well structure and easy to follow. Thank you!!

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Thanks. It took a VERY long time to produce.

[@sharadkumar8365]

what about SOUND? you left that out totally! if your arc port is busy, hdmi doesnt transmit sound in that case. my matrix that i am returning woudl also block sound out from other ports of my tv. i had a 2 x 2 matrix . so not much help there . thx

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I don’t use sound. If you have questions feel free to email there support team.

[@ttangomd]

@@MonteWeaverofficial so many of us use multiple monitors to watch sports. the video gets setup via the matrix pregame and stays that way all game long. But where is the sound going? The man-cavers want to keep the video static once it's setup, but move from one audio feed to the next seamlessly and constantly. It's possible with some AVRs, but it's a hornet's nest of wires. If the matrix can solve that, then explaining how would be super-helpful

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

My YT channel is geared more towards churches so as it relates to sound I would need to hook everything back up and test. It will be a much faster answer if you email the company support team.

[@raymondparker3896]

Perfect - Orei HDMI Matrix Switcher - Exactly what I was searching for.. Thanks

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Hopefully the video was helpful for you

[@sensourymckay3424]

But what happens if I have two TVs on the wall in the front of the sanctuary and one on the back wall. How can I show one screen on multiple TVs wirelessly?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Just add a wireless adapter instead of a physical cable to the tv

[@aspectelectrical8232]

Great demo, just a question with regard to the remote, you pointed it directly at the matrix but what if I put it another room and want to switch it elsewhere? Steve UK Sparks

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

You may want to consider options that have a web based platform as well where you could place the matrix switcher on your network and control with online without a remote control.

[@shiryb1]

This is great; thank you. So, if I have two laptops where I use two screens with each (not separately), and I want a device that will switch between laptops and display both screens for each laptop, will this device do that?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

If I understand your question correctly, you are not able to display both laptop screens on the same monitor simultantelously.

[@hueyt224]

Hello. Hoping you can answer a question about this device. The Matrix has an audio output slot. Which means it doesnt transfer audio. So how would the audio be shared between different outputs? For example a sound bar from my tv vs my pc speakers?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

That’s a question for OREI. I’d recommend emailing their support team directly. I’m only using my device for video

[@rushon1537]

Nice setup....what suggest for a PC that uses 2 display port and I want to connect 3 monitor extended that has no type c

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

PCs are really all really preferences these days. I would check out Amazon ( amazon.com/shop/monteweaver ) and just find any PC in your budget that has the ports you need.

[@nilriverarts2966]

Can I extend other tabs on the other screen?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I’m not sure what you’re asking.

[@brookeraines2325]

Sound was great for me! I am using a 4x2 matrix with 2 devices and 2 monitors but I'm not sure I bought the right thing. I want to have two monitors when using one device but they are mirrored, is this an idiot error or do I just need a different switcher? Thanks :)

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Initial thoughts ... sounds like you may be using a SPLITTER rather than a swicher. I splitter takes one feed and splits it to the monitors, where as the SWITCHER also you both split and switch feeds.

[@alex_supernova]

whick software do you use to manage your different camera live ? :O

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I monitor my feeds with the ATEM switcher software

[@alex_supernova]

@@MonteWeaverofficial thank you really much for taking Time ton answer me i really appreciate

[@Poweranimals]

Question. Can the device display one screen in SDR and another screen in Dolby Vision? I'm trying to test which settings look better but it would be a lot easier if they were side by side.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

That’s a question for OREI support. I would email them directly. I simply use the basic functionality of my equipment.

[@christopherburn8817]

Is this able to make all screens as one? If not, can you recommend what I would need to look for in order for me to use two TVs as either showing two separate things or have both tvs show one picture?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

This device is only a matrix screen switcher. Each screen can show the EXACT same input but if you're trying combine screens to show one image or picture you will need a video wall setup.

[@gracelife7956]

On your ATEM mini pro are you coming out of the HDMI out for the USB out to the splitter? We are trying to run multiview in our sound booth and program view to our lobby screen and screen. I already have the two by one splitter you have in the video.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

One of the HDMI outputs of the ATEM Mini pro feeds into the matrix switcher.

[@sailmailman]

@@MonteWeaverofficial With only one HDMI output on the ATEM Mini Pro going into the matrix switcher, is it possible to have multiview on one monitor and program on other monitors at the same time?

[@nomoreuswa]

Great video..i have a laptop viewing cameras from 1 software. I wang three screens to view different cameras..is this the right product

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

If you want to display the same thing on each screen, you can use a splitter. If you want to have the added functionality to control each screen, go with the matrix switcher

[@contragica8609]

Hello, is the sound only heard in one monitor or in both at once?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Sound could be played out of each tv if i wanted.

[@nolanjoseph1892]

I was hearing everything you were saying but your voice was glitching a little. Not sure if it was on my end or not. Thanks.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Interesting, I didn't hear anything glitching in the editing, I'll have to listen to the published YT version.

[@nolanjoseph1892]

@@MonteWeaverofficial I did listen to something else right after your program and it was not glit hing

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Thanks for feedback. I’ll have the editor check it out.

[@ariesr4883]

How can you reduce or remove the video lag on your Output #3 (monitor behind you)

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

High speed HDMI cables.

[@ariesr4883]

@@MonteWeaverofficial any high speed HDMI cable recommendations?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

@ariesr4883 I just used some basic cables I had lying around but I would invest in any high speed 4K HDMI Cables if I really needed to reduce latency.

[@MonarchIdea]

Sir, it means if I want to monitor my multi works at the same time.. Better buy switcher.. Right? N if I doing streaming at de same time doing trade my stocks.. Did we face any problem?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

unfortuntely, i your question is not clear. I'm not sure what you are asking

[@hydefamilylightshow]

I am having issues with a splitter 1 projector works and the other doesn’t. However the port does work with a different device. Why would it do that? It is a ezcoo 1x2.

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I’m not familiar with the ezcoo device

[@akacyberrat]

Hi, are there matrix switches for displayport? And does the matrix switch support a high frame rate input and output (144+Hz 2K gaming monitor + highend GPU)?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Yes to the first question. For the second question, I don’t have a use for high frame rates so I don’t know. Best place to post that question would be with the manufacturer of the product you may be interested in.

[@grillngill2955]

Is there a matrix switch that will allow 2 sources to play two different audio signals for two TV's example gaming on one with sound and fire tv on the other with sound?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I'm sure something like is on the market. I haven't researched anything like that personally

[@clashwithjerin6127]

Is there any device that can take video input from 2 laptops and split it (extend display) into 3-4 monitors (likely a docking station)?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

If I understand what you want to do, I would say any traditional splitter. Something like a 1x4 splitter. 1 input and 4 outputs

[@srmehta123]

Hello sir, great video. Setting up my office/game setup currently and had a question that I’m sure you would know the answer too. For my outputs I have 2 Acer monitors, let’s call them out1 and out2. For my outputs I have a laptop, in1, an Xbox series s, in2, and a Roku, in3. Looking for a setup where I can switch between having in1 be an extended view through ou1 and out 2… A view where I can have in1 on out1 and in2 on out2.. A view with in1 and in3 A view with in2 and in3. I’m guessing the matrix will do the last 3 scenarios, but can it also do the extended desktop scenario? Also is getting a display port to hDmi cord worth it for my set up? Thank you!

[@chavdaanirudhhsinh2001]

Is it useful if i want to setup 3 Different outputs on 3 Monitor screens from 1 Single Laptop..???

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Depends on your specific needs

[@vinniepaz3961]

Hello, I have a projector that does not support hdmi arc(viewsonic x2 4k) and I have a soundbar that supports hdmi arc. Can I connect the two to each other with HDMI matrix? (hdmi matrix device has hdmi arc output)

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I’m not sure. One of those things where I encourage to just try it.

[@chrismeans6750]

Mr Weaver: If I use the HDMI Matrix switcher to power 3 monitors, is that straining my laptop in any way? Is my laptop (esssentially) generating 3 HDMI output video signals? If that is true, that is really putting a strain on the main laptop CPU - correct?

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

The Matrix switcher does NOT power the monitors. The HDMI matrix switcher is only sending and receiving the HDMI signal from the computer so it requires very little computer resoureces.

[@dwillr86]

Great video superb quality , production, and informative!!

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

Much appreciated! These videos are not easy to make and definitely take a significant amount of time. Its also nice to get good feedback from the effort spent on these videos.

[@amblelusters7309]

sound recording volume is too low. Even at 100% I can barely hear your sound

[@MonteWeaverofficial]

I’ll try to adjust for future videos. Interesting as no one else has mentioned the volume for this video.
