HDMI slots- not enough- use HDMI switch?

[bryonf]

Just about to pull the trigger on a BenQ TH671ST projector. Just noticed only 1 HDMI input and that brought up a couple questions... any help would be appreciated.
- Also has an HDMI (MHL): I understand this i Cannot be used as a second HDMI input... but only for MHL?
-How to manage source HDMI- do you use an HDMI switch?
- plan is to have Projector with TV on the side. Allows for golf and watching sports at same time. Additionally, will have Xbox
- so will have Computer, Cable box, x Box that map to 2 displays

How is everyone managing this?

Thanks!

An AV receiver is often used for switching video inputs if you are also powering speakers. They are essentially an hdmi switch.

Everyone has a bit different setup but most only have TGC2019 (or similar) on the impact screen. Two other 4k 42" monitors are also in this room. One of the monitors duplicates the impact screen and is by the keyboard and mouse for software control. The second monitor shows the launch monitor data and maybe a web browser or chat box etc. This second monitor also has a roku streaming video in the lower right corner as a picture-in-picture image. The setup works for me, and is enhanced with the use of a program called ontopreplica to overlay portions of the launch monitor data on top of TGC2019 (more about this free software elsewhere). A secondary 2160p screen can pack a lot of information.

I am in the process of building my sim...when I spoke to the Uneekor rep about having a dual monitor set up like you, he said the monitors would only mirror exactly what is projected on the impact screen. How were you able to create your set up? Thanks

Just been reading the user manual of the 671st. Its not said explicitly but it appears that the 2nd port can be used as either HDMI or MHL. I've just ordered one myself, so I'll know for sure in a few days 🙂

Thanks. I thought the same and googled MHL and could not tell... hoping it is for both!
