Does the P-A-P/Twin Picture mode on the KDL50W800B allow viewing of any two input sources? Or is one half always the "Smart" mode?

Hello dk60, thank you for your message. In regards to your concern, You can watch two pictures (main and sub) simultaneously. The main picture can be displayed in full screen, and the sub picture can be displayed in an inset window (e.g. HDMI input (PC format) and TV program). This feature is called PIP. For more information, check this link: http://docs.esupport.sony.com/imanual/NA/2014/KDL-50_60_70W800B_W830B_W840B_W850B/uc_uen/c_pippap_uc_pap.html. When opening the previous link go into watching TV section and select either PIP or P&P.;

Sorry as I had no idea there was A PAP twin picture mode. Have never tried to watch 2 sources at the same time or tried.

In both the PIP and P&P; only one source is changeable, the other one defaults to TV and cannot be changed, so viewing of 2 different HDMI sources is not possible, I messed around with it for a bit and couldn't change it beyond that. I dont know what you mean by "Smart" mode, but like I said, there's 4 HDMI inputs and an HD Component insert that the display defaults to TV, I'm guessing they expect you to plug your cable box through that, personally I only use the HDMI ports and seeing as you cannot use this feature with 2 HDMI sources, I don't use it, hope this answers your question, let me know if you want me to test anything else.Regards, In both the PIP and P&P; only one source is changeable, the other one defaults to TV and cannot be changed, so viewing of 2 different HDMI sources is not possible, I messed around with it for a bit and couldn't change it beyond that.

I wish I could help you. I'm only using the splitter to show the same image on 2 computer screens at the same time. No sound is being used. Joe

Doh. I meant over the COMPONENT video connection. The WDTV Live, for example, doesn't support 480i over component for some unknown reason.

Only line inputs, not line outputs in channel 7/8. You can't record from the board and run monitors at the same time, only one or the other

I've never had 2 working simultaneously, but are you able to try the second on on a different computer? Maybe it's one per program. Are you using there software for this?

I only have one camera currently, but within two weeks I should have a second one set up. The only way I could imagine having both video displays on one monitor is to open up two internet/safari windows to Samsung's SmartCam website, accessing the different cameras from the two windows respectively, and arranging the internet windows side-by-side. Once I receive my second camera, I will test this out.

Yes only one source at a time. But beware you can't have them both plugged up or will not work.

You can do all of the above. Full screen on one, 2 cameras or all 4 at once. If you only connect 2 cameras...go into the setup and disable the other 2inputs...that way you dont have 2 black boxes that say no input or something like that.

I do not recall any switch on it (and do not see one from here- but it is difficult to view fully with computer tower, desk, etc. as is placed), but I use mine with one monitor, and it does not transfer to television screen (which I use it for instead of another monitor) unless I change the source for the television to it. I suspect (but do not know) you could do the same controlling the source....not sure, but found this online in case it pertains: http://superuser.com/questions/156058/how-can-i-share-a-monitor-between-two-computers Best wishes!

yes, you can view the same or any of the 4 inputs at any time on either of your 2 outputs, totally your choice, the same or different

Thank you for your interest in Levana. There is a setting in the monitor that allows the change from one camera to the other automatic. PEEP mode will not function while in this "Sequence" mode, there would always be an image switching every 10-15 seconds along with the audio from that camera.

I can't remember if there was two video inputs or one. If two yes, if only one then no, but you can add a video switch input, that makes one input into two, but you will be forced to switch to the one you want to watch.

No , it only allows for one tv monitor where you can switch between 2 sources of input.
2035533
No. It will not do that. You can duplicate one input and transmit it to two outputs at the same time. You have two different inputs so you can switch between two different video sources easily (by clicking the input button).

You should be able to it looks like there is two video inputs and one output

Yes it's a switch not splitter so only 1 source will go through at a time and it shouldn't matter if both are on.

Yes that is true. I have a computer and dvd player connected, and I can manually switch between the two sources. And, yes it sends the one input (the one you select, input 1 or 2) or same signal to two HDMI sources.
