Messages from HS on home's TVs (english)

Post by drmacchi »

Sorry but i don't speak Dutch[V]
New Idea:
Watch on ALL TV in my home some messages coming from HS server trough its serial port.

PLEASE SEND YOUR COMMENTS , AND TELL ME IF IT CAN BE DONE.

1) looking at site Jon00 http://www.btinternet.com/~jon00/ i saw that he was able to send messages from HS to a serial LCD using scripts : from his site , log in in HS server and go to projects

2) looking at site of LCD supplier used by Jon00 i found this:
http://www.milinst.com/Audio_Visual/XB4AppGuide.pdf
Its even better than a serial LCD display! in fact it can outputs the messages to a TV. At page 7 you find an information about using overlay on all channels: NOT POSSIBLE. No problem i need a channel , but i must see it on every TV. So i if would check something: TV on , TV remote "Channel 12" i.e , i see HS messages without ANY PC in that room !

3) My idea is : a) connect XBOB4 video OUTPUT to a marmitek input video selector, this selector is connected to a Marmitek megavideo 55 that sends all video signals to home's antenna system. So i can see HS messages on a channel in ALL my TVs. <u>About "marmitek devices line" i can sure that it works because i ALREADY see live all my security cams on all TVs.</u>
<font color="red">Do you thinks this XBOB4 works with HS using scripts?</font id="red">
Waiting for your comments
