Computer Which is linked to a main HDMI hub (external) via the internal Capture card to my consoles. I have two usb hubs that I do not use together. One has a scart input to HDMI, and the other is an HDMI splitter which gets around the PS3 and PS4's HDCP. PS3 and PS4 and PSTV use the same HDMI and eithernet cables. However, as for all of my old consoles, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, JPNPS2, some of them remain plugged in. The genesis doesn't, because the brick is always drawing power.. The sega dreamcast, PS1, PS2, and sega saturn all use the same power cord. The Japanese PS2 doesn't. Eventhough I only use fat PS2 models they decided to go with a different power cord in Japan. Everything is plugged into an 8 socket heavy duty surge protector. the scart to HDMI goes to my capture card, the capture card's HDMI is going into my gaming monitor. Which is set up as monitor 1 of 3, which means, I have to make sure to move all my stuff over to monitor 2 if i wanna see it while gaming.Monitor 3, is use mainly for screen captured special effects.
But, yeah, I can't just turn on a console and start gaming. Did I mention I must have my computer turned on to power the capture card or else I wont get a video signal to begin with?
TL;DR So basically, unless I'm going to play the currently connected console, I have to probably unplug something, switch the converter box, switch the video cable and plug in the console I want to play while having my computer on. |
Reminds me of my setup to run DreamCast games on my old CRT projector. For some reason the signal level from the DC was incompatible with my projector. So I had the DreamCast feed into a capture card in my PC through composite video, which scaled the image up to 800x600, then put it back out as S-VHS to my S-VHS video recorder and on to the input box of the projector. Analog sound going to PC as well, through the Sound blaster AWE64 Gold edition audio mixer, to continue as optical audio to my amp. And analog audio from the Amp connected to the S-VHS for recording. (Sound combined with CD music coming from my LaserDisc player)
Had lots of fun playing crazy taxi on 72" while listening to The Prodigy :)

Either that or they know VR isn't here to stay and will eventually be taken out of the loop. Or make it even more tempting to buy an upgraded model that has proper passthrough. What is it Sony? What is it?! Maybe HDR was an afterthought after Xbone made it a big deal? So it wasn't even designed with that in thought. |
It's probably the same nickel and diming as leaving out the 4K UHD player. HDMI 2.0 ports are a bit more expensive, almost twice as fast, different protocol, different DRM perhaps additional license fees. The XBox One S only has 1 hdmi 2.0 port. The hdmi in port is still 1.4, it doesn't support 4K pass through either. http://windowsreport.com/xbox-one-s-support-4k-pass-through/
Considering a HDMI 2.0a signal splitter is $160, while 1.4 splitters are sub $20, I'm guessing the new ports, especially the receiving end, require a bit more grunt than your average 1.4 port.
