Xlobby Video Question

[aviaudio]

Will Xlobby allow you to add a window to be used as a Pre-View monitor? I have a 8x8 matrix switcher and it would be nice to pre-view the video before I send it out, or see what is on a source from a touch panel.

Any help?

hanks for the help, but I am still confused.

I have 4 satellite receivers among other video sources I would like to pre-view. I would like to view the satellite receivers from the touch panel, maybe also use the panel as another monitor if selected.

I was hoping the xlobby machine had a video input. I could use the last output of the matrix switcher as a monitor out and select video that way.

I think Wes was talking about something like that in this forum: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=6205&p=44261&hilit=matrix+switcher#p44261

You can use a video webserver that is typically used for video CCTV systems to stream a video feed inside xLobby using the webbrowser. If you put an IR\Rs232 controlled video switcher ahead of the video webserver, you can select any video signal you want to see in xLobbys webbrowser and use xLobby to control the switcher via ir or RS232.
