XBOX ONE Multi Room Setup, Connect 1 Xbox One to 2, 3 or more TVs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Hi, this 'How To' video shows you how to setup the Xbox One so you can play it in 2 or more rooms. This will be useful if your wife, daughter, parents etc. want to watch TV in the room where your Xbox One is located so you can move location to another TV and carry on gaming. I will release another video when I have it installed properly in my house, this was just the initial test to work out length limits on the Xbox One controller. Once I get a USB powered HUB then I am assuming the length will rise from the 10m tested in this video.
I haven't tested it on the PS4 but I am sure the same setup would work.
Many thanks Vince
Much better than my technique of "Buy an Xbox One for every TV!"
Timothy Lewis Really 300$? Or More Lol
I did that but now I have 6 Xbox’s
why not just get a chromecast for the non smart tvs
I have 3 Xboxes in the same room connected to different tv but all the storage is on the middle one there all connected together
😹😹
i think i’ve watched this video 50 times the past 5ish years i love ur vids they are so chill, thank u for the years of content vince
i started watching when u started makin switch videos… it’s been a little longer than 5 years ig..
I have a question if you could answer that would be great.
I was thinking about doing something very similar but if my main tv where the xbox is at is a 4k if I was to do this and my second tv was a 1080p would is still work or would all the Tv's need to be the same spec
+Raymond Flores yes it would still work
great video! I didn't even know this was possible until I watched your other video how to sync my controller and heard you say I could have it on all tvs and I was like whoa what? lol ... thanks! much appreciated.
Hey Vince,
Awesome tutorial! good job mate loving it. Hope we can see more innovative ideas from you.
Thank you,
Marc
That is so nice to you I think Vince will be happy
awesome now i can play xbox and take a shit at the same time.......Life Mission accomplished
PhilmoeSlim i
Use A Laptop
Lol
Love it I got to do it and take a shit
PhilmoeSlim excuse me
Excellent video. I'm in the process of wiring my house and this will save me having to buy multiple systems lol. This is a very easy setup. I just need exact max footage of HDMI and USB/cat 5 runs that a HDMI splitter and USB off Xbox can run. Thanks again!!!!
Thank you so much for all your videos Vince. Always so so helpful even though I only discovered your videos 2 days ago. Didnt know about these splitters. So I have just ordered myself one. Saved me having to rent a second tivo box. Wish you were around here so I can hire you can connect my equipment for me. But I will follow your very helpful tutorials. Many thanks.
Thank you for the lovely comments :-)
@@Mymatevince ok thx
Awesome video, i have two TVs setup in my room which i can gameshare or your friend wants to watch youtube or tv and you can freely play on your other console... Thank you for this helpful vid that i showed to my mom of how it works
You still recommend that HDMI splitter? Is there a better one you now recommend? My parents have Sky Q but they say it might be getting a bit expensive. Therefore, I have declared that if I can find a better assisted living house to move to (my current one is awful!), they can have my 2TB Sky+HD box! When my parents had Sky+, they had a TV link, allowing Sky to be watched on any analog TV in the house. However, they recently had someone take the aerial out. I think one of these HDMI splitters would be a great idea!
I tried to extend the usb port by, USB male to Ethernet female->15m cat 5 cable->Ethernet female to USB female-> Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider Racing wheel.
The wheel lose connectivity sometimes, also noticed it less sensitive.
Hey I really like your video but I have questions about an Xbox s1 and wanted to see if you might have any ideas of how to use my Xbox on two TVs if you can show me that and what I need that would be very helpful thank you
You could use a MOCA box for Coax Cable, we did that to get our living room tv into our bedroom what they call that Whole House Cable TV with the main cable box being in the living room. Just used a small MOCA box in the bedroom, basically turns your Coax cable outlet in each room to a type of PowerLine. I am assuming it would work if you can get a MOCA transmitter for the Xbox and then the MOCA in each room would connect to the main box in the living room.
I know it's 7 years later, but you can get USB extenders. They're powered locally from an adaptor, and will boost a USB signal to go so-many metres further. You could just use a USB hub to do that, but it will add a little latency. For controllers though it's going to be nothing compared to the latency of your eyes and hands.
Using cat 6 is nice, ordinary USB cables don't do anything against interference and just rely on re-sending any corrupted packets. It's the cheap way to do it but not the best. Using repeaters and cat 6 you could probably reach the Moon no problem!
I’m looking for a tutorial or hack to play Xbox in different rooms without the consule; if I want to play a different game than my kids….. how to do that?! Can I change the game from the tv without the consule?
Do I have to do split screen or can I have multiplayer on 2 different tv? My Mate Vince
What are you doing with the long HDMI cables though? Are you just leaving them on the ground?
Brilliant! Is there a follow-up to this video where you run in through your existing wires, as you mentioned?
You can't really do more than 2 wired rooms since there's only 2 USB ports on the X-Box, right?
I am looking to set up another TV or two so I can do exactly what you're doing: play in another room. Thankfully though the wireless controller 🎮 has no trouble in the upstairs room. Now I need an amplifier and long HDMI.
Thanks for the info!
How many Xbox ones do you have running right now?? Or is this all off the same xbox from where you were just setting up the cables from your main room?? This is amazing if you are doing this all off just the ONE xbox.
Hi, it is all off the one Xbox BUT you can only play the same game in every room because it just duplicates it so it is not as good as having separate Xbox consoles (but it is cheaper).
Thanks.
SO the way you have it connected in multiple rooms. is because you have HDMI wall hook ups or is done through Ethernet hooks ups? OR, do you have extremely long HDMI cables running to the rooms you want connected.
I just did this using windows 10 Xbox streaming. I had it set up via HDMI to CAT6 before that witch worked nice. I just got me the Xbox wireless controller dongle and plugged that into the xbox and ran that to 3 rooms VIA modded cable that shared the signal in the dongle.
+Masculineish dongle my favorite dirty nerdy word. 😅
How for did you run the HDMI over IP cat6?
Is there any possible way i can hook xbox up to 2 tvs but play same game but on 2 diffrent accounts so i could like play online with my bro on gta 5 rather than buying another xbox ?
I've done this but got stuck on the distance. Did you solve the 16m lead problem?
I do wonder if you can buy a usb dongle from Microsoft to make the controller wireless too
If you have windows 10 then you can mirror what's on your Xbox to your laptop/pc.
I do it with very bad wifi connection across my home and it works very well
Just make sure the Xbox is wired into the wifi box with Ethernet
And it's mostly wireless
+Robert Belcher I would like to do this, I have a computer desktop runnning windows 10, do you have a video to show how to run this?
Robert Belcher X
unless you have the cash to buy a 8x4 or 8x8 hdmi switcher there isn't much of a solution to use
I suspect if you wanted 8 zones of coverage you will also need to consider wired lan and have it segmented off from the home lan.. however it is better to have a console in each room
you will need wireless/BT CIC tv compatible options where it uses the tv's ir/bt/2.4GHz wireless controls through the tv itself
otherwise the only other option for use would be use a network switch and media converters
Can you play 2 different games on the ps4 if it's on the other tv???
no
the question is, is it possible to play two different games on two different TVs with one console?
No
The hardest is connect the controller right?. If my ps4 i just use a very long usb its ok?
This is awesome for multiple tv rooms. We have two in the living room and I'm always switching the Xbox to the big tv and the tv to the small tv. Then my husband comes in and puts the tv back on the big tv it gets annoying. Also I want to make the extra bed a game room and they share a wall! This is awesome.
I guess pay back on the husband for annoying you and turning bedroom into a game room and not a S room
btw a amplifier creates more output power, That is a SPLITTER as the signal is split (splitter) four ways...
just saying you can stream it to any laptop either threw wifi or directly threw the modem btw you dont have to purchase any extra equipment
this is awesome I'm definitely gonna do this
Can this work in PS4
@@JaspreetSingh-wn1om i think its compatible with all devices since its not a xbox designer
great video man! I have a question though. I have my own tv set up in my basement with my xbox one. I just want to run my satellite through the xbox. The receiver is on the first floor on a different tv setup. Is that amplifier the one i need or another kind? Hope you can answer me. Thank you
+Raul Castillo Hi, this amplifier will distribute any HDMI signal so SKY, Xbox, PlayStation, DVD etc. but you will also have to look into how to use the SKY remote control in the basement.
@@Mymatevince oh Ok
This is good for people who have the Xbox one, or the x or s. Even tho you can play through remote play I think on the one x, but I know u actually can on the series x
hi it is possible to play in split screen with 2 ps4 in 2 different monitors
Thank you so much this is going to be great for my gaming channel thanks man
Thanks for the video! Question: Without the HDMI splitter, the Xbox performs a plug and play config to setup the HDMI resolution according to the connected TV screen. If we have a HDMI splitter in between the signal path, and we use 2 different TVs, will the HDMI configuration (resolution) be correct for both TV's?
this will not work due to the console itselfit will only support 1 setting and all the tvs in the loop would be needing to support whatever console was setup on..
so initially set on 1080p then every tv/monitor would also be at the support level of 1080p same with 4k hdr!!!!
personally whilst this might be a valid proof of concept though past a second tv i really think you are think you are pushing the shit up hill past this without a external gpu or 3 being involved
So do you use the cat5 cables for the controller or the hdmi video?
Great video!! very useful information + very well explained
hello great video, just wondering what is the purpose of the ethernet, isnit just so you keep the signal for the xbox one controller ?
Hi, yes that is correct. If your controller stays in sync then you wouldn't need the Ethernet but they loss sync quite close so you need the Ethernet to keep the signal.
Thanks.
Could this concept work with other streaming devices? For me I want to try this my Nexus Player or Firestick and view same picture in separate rooms.
HGD12 yes it will work with any hdmi device
You are an electronic genius & I respect what you do 👍🏿👍🏿
Hi, how possible is it to use ideas from your hdmi to ethernet videos to help manage multiple consoles for video games center
If i want to use dual monitors setup for my xbox will the spliter/amplifier work?
can i go to about 21 metres if i use a usb hub and do i have to have a powered usb hub or can i just use one that i have for my laptop
can u do an amazon firestick hdmi splitter video just got one
spitter
Will one Xbox display two games at the same time on two separate screens
Good job Vince but actually iam looking for to connect 3 screens monitor 24" with my xbox one to play with them together to Forza motorsport or wrc 6 or 7..... left window right window and inside car is it possible to do it (sorry for my language level iam French) Thanks a lot Vince show must go on ✌🏍✌
Federico Monaco hey man I think I understand what you mean you want to have the three monitors set up so it’s like your in a car irl. Having three monitors would be like having and extended display but the programming for the game will not allow an extended display. You could do a set up that would allow extended display however it would just be a really stretched view of the same thing that would be on one. Almost like changing a tv from standard to wide screen
whats the cabel setup behind the tv mate?
can we connect two tv at the same Xbox and tv are interconnected ? (extanced image from same game ?)
Is there a way to share a hard drive with 2 xboxes via usb want to share all games
i did same....the controller charging but the signal continually disconnecting !Please Vince could you help me?
+Bashar Hemedany Hi, is it over a long distance of cat5e/cat6 cable. I think from memory I ran into problems over 15m.
Now its working after i change the usb cable with original one .thank you my friend. ..
+My Mate VINCE this is where you need to add a 5v power supply to deal with the drop in voltage.
Can i stream my xbox on a pc but then be on different accounts and play rainbow six siege together
What if you want to play the same game?
What about bluetooth extenders would that work?
A very informative and useful video. I really appreciate you for the time involved in making this video and giving in detailed information about the setup. Really helpful.
With PS4 the same setup would also work because the technical aspect is also same as xbox one but it wont serve the purpose because you cannot multitask in PS4 as like in X1. PS4 can only do one at a time, means if you want to play game then you can only play game and it will transmit the same signal on to the different TV, as here in X1, one can watch TV either through X1 hdmi in or connecting a set top box to the main TV and of course gaming in the background in another TV.
I am guessing if you use two separate connections then TV and PS4 gameplay can work together. set top box hdmi out--->to tv hdmi 1 and PS4 hdmi out-->to splitter hdmi input, then hdmi out 1 from spitter to another tv in. So this way you can simultaneously watch tv and also play game on another tv. DS4 controller setup I think the same way should work as you did here...
BTW one thing which I did not understand is that how did you connected the normal TV signal here. Was it through a separate hdmi from set top box to TV ?
+Arijit Majumdar Hi, thanks for the informative comment. Yes I have a separate HDMI from the Virgin media set top box to another HDMI Amplifier/splitter feeding this TV and the other TVs in the house.Many thanks Vince
can you not have a long male usb to female usb running from the xbox to the other room in the house?
Hi, 5m is the maximum length for USB unless you plug in USB repeaters/extenders.
So i did this setup, but my xbox controller says low battery. currently I am running over a 5ft ethernet cable. Today my 50ft flat ethernet cable arrives so i can routed to my bedroom. If my bedroom was 3 ft shorter I would not need the USB-Cat5 cabling.
Is anyone else getting that low battery message? does this mean the controller is still connected wirelessly?
Just want to know if you can play split screen in multiplayer on two screens like player one got one screen and player two on the other screen
Would it bring down the resolution?
Hold on so can multiple people play for example me and my brother argue over it constantly cos it’s in my room so we’re swapping it every week and it’s so annoying cos on Friday and Saturday it just hits different so say it’s in his room would he be able to play it in his room and I could play In my room at the same time?
Nah, can’t play at same time bro, you could watch what he was doing though in his room if you wanted
@@chrisunsworth6584 shit, do u know if there’s any other way my dad won’t let me buy my own Xbox out of my own money and pay for everything myself
So not multi playing together or able to play 2 different games , so say if you wanted to play a game with family say Mario kart , how does one split the screen on different monitors and have capabilities of playing together on the same game say up to 4 members is it the design of the game that renders people from doing this saying it's not a multi game but what if it was , and you want a family tournament how would one do so
used a 15 metre hdmi to do the same with upstairs tv, only the signal drops off when used with the xbox one, but the same lead works when its plugged in to my virgin media TiVo box, does anyone know why this could be, thanks...
Well, damn. I already have three Xbox One consoles. could have saved a lot of money!
How can I play ps4 in 2 televisions which are in different places ?
I feel as if there's definitely an unnecessary amount of adapters In this setup
I have a similar setup but I'm using USB to Cat 5 extender which are powered using a 5V power pack over a distance over 20m!
+Martin D Thanks for the info.
+My Mate VINCE I personally don't own a xbox one but couldn't u just use a high quality a/v receiver with Ethernet RJ 45 ports on the back of it and redo it that way?
+Martin D I have something like that I have a 20m hdmi cable and I just got it 2 days ago
Nice video m8, i like how u explain :D
Do you need a hdmi switch that supports 4k?
If you have the new Xbox One S and wanted to use the 4K feature rather than 1080p then everything would need to support 4K. If you have the older Xbox one then the cheaper splitters/switches etc. will be fine as it only outputs 1080p.
Thanks. I have the regular Xbox one in the bedroom and the Xbox one S in the living room. Sometimes I connect it to the TV and play and sometimes I connect to my computer monitor to play.
Will remain with such fork ??? 4K ??? HDR ???
so how do you deal with the controller disconnecting when in other rooms?
Big question can u have 6 xbox consoles in 1 location
can we play the same game on two different TV's coming from the same console
No, you can't but you can play split screen in different rooms.
thanks!
I have a 5.1 surround system. Those hdmi splitters only output the sound to stereo. It drove me mad. Ended up just buying another xbox 1 lol.
No good if u have 4 rooms and linking 4 xbox with 1 account cant be done. ( i bought a 2nd one too tho lol )
can you play on a diffrent account and play the same game.so can my brother be on his account and then im on another account and we join each other on the same game is this possible
No
The link to your ebay store on your website doesnt work anymore boss hogg
Hi there, thanks for the message. I have closed the eBay shop at the moment but I may open it up again later in the year :-)
Yeah I know. I figured that was the case since this video is from 2015 lol
I love the video, I have a 70 inch tv on wall sick of wires everywhere so I purchased a $40 on eBay called YS-199 HDMI SWITCHERS 5 HDMI 1 output I don't know where the out put goes on my tv as my tv has 4 HDMI ports on side. So output on the switcher where does that HDMI cable go to on your TV to make this work Please help Thank You great video!!
+River lee Hi, you would plug it into any of the empty HDMI inputs on your TV so if HDMI 1 is empty then go for that and then set your source or input on the TV remote to HDMI 1 and then it will display whatever input you have live on your 5 way HDMI selector. Then when you change the input on your 5 way HDMI selector the TV will start showing the new input. Hope that makes sense.
You could stream it to a pc there would be a tiny delay but not really noticeable the controllers just connect to the pc through the xbox app
Am I wrong off the rip, would this only work for single player, or would it work for multiplayer the way we select a user.
Can you plug in 4 game systems in that box
Is there a part 2 to this video? I've been wondering for so long how to do this lol
can i sign into another account and use this separately?
or do i have to force everyone to watch me?
+Max Mowery Unfortunately it just amplifies the same signal coming out of the Xbox so if someone in another room goes onto that particular HDMI input on that TV then they will be watching you gaming, you cannot sign into another account so it is not the same as having another Xbox.
That was my one missing link.thank you!
I did this as i have all my equipment in a media cupboard under the stairs but found the signal would not reach. However if i had the xbox one in the lounge and the controller signal would reach upstairs to the bedroom easily. So now it stays in the lounge and distributed the same way over cat5 hdmi
+shutinyanks Thanks for the info.
+My Mate VINCE will it work on ps4
i have a ps4 and two tvs a big one and small one. what im looking for is something i could just switch between them. example if i have friends over and we want to play game on big tv i dont want to have to switch hdmi cable from small to big.
Hi, you can get a cheap 1 input 2 output splitter (1in 2 out) for around £10. This means you wouldn't have to keep changing the HDMI lead between TVs.
My Mate VINCE thanks ill give it a shot
great vid man! for a new subb✊🏾
How does the hdmi splitter split the signal??
Yes you’re right great job 👏
Will this work on ps4
Can a xbox one HDMI cord work on HDMI 3 TV
will it work if i connect two hdmi's to two seperate monitors
+Hady Nasreddine Hi, if you use a HDMI Amplifier/Splitter like the one in the video then you can use up to 4 separate HDMI to 4 separate TV/Monitors.
Yes there is a way my friend, try getting a receiver with dual zone hdmi Onkyo, denon Yamaha all have version of these it will really impress the ladies lol.
Does this work for Ps4's????
Hi, I am not sure. I might be getting a PS4 so I can test it out. The picture will definitely work but I am not sure about the PS4 controller.
I usually just stream to my laptop or pc if someone else is wanting to watch the tv.
Where can get that multiple adapter
Great vid - thanks
A simpler option:
1. Route ethernet through house (if not already done so)
2. Plug Xbox into routed ethernet cable
3. get old laptop and install windows 10
4. plug laptop into routed ethernet in another room
5. plug laptop into tv
6. Use the stream feature, to stream xbox.
Done!
if needed in another room, move laptop.
KILLERTX95 Hi, is that option just for the viewing of what is on the xbox rather than using the HDMI cables? The problem I am having is using the controller at a long distance. (any ideas). I will look into that streaming idea, sounds good.Thanks Vince
Hey Vince, when you stream Xbox One to Windows 10 it not only shows game play on the laptop, but sends the signals from your controller back to the console. Meaning you can play from your laptop. You don't have to use any HDMI if you dont want, you could even play the Xbox One wirelessly if your WIFI is strong enough. The only reason you need to use a HDMI cable is to connect your laptop to your TV.
Hope that helps, Bryce.
+KILLERTX95 Hi Bryce, thanks for that it helps a lot. All the best Vince
no problem :), apologies if there was bad english.. I usually only get time on youtube after a long day some time around 12am so yeahh lol
What hdmi is that can u link it
I guess you could do a similar thing with the raspberry Pi? - That could be another project for you?
+Robin Beaumont Yes, I do like the idea of the Raspberry Pi. I looked into it a little while ago but my programming skills (Python) leave a lot to be desired!!!!!!!!
