No - I don't believe it will. It's basically just a splitter, but adds amplification so that the signal can be effectively split/repeated. There is one input that gets amplified and "repeated" to up to four other displays. For spanning, you would need something more like a Matrox TripleHead2Go, or multiple onboard video cards/video outs.

This unit will actually have two tuners. So it will be capable of recording two things at once just like the DirecTV units. Which means that unless you need to record two things while watching a 3rd live program, there will be no need to split the cable and use your TV or VCRs tuner.Da

Yes, but this only splits the video signals. You will still need to split the audio.

Yes, just keep in mind that each time you split the signal of the antenna you weaken the signal that actual reaches the device (t-v, DVR, etc.). You can probably get by with a one-to-two splitter, but more than that and you need to think about getting an RF Amplifier that has multiple outputs, with your antenna connected directly to the RF Amplifier, and individual coaxial feeds from there to each device. I've learned this the hard way.

My Dish DVR has two receivers inside so I can have one program recording and watch another, or I can have two different programs recording and watch something I recorded last week. Both signals come out HD, but this device is to split the signal into two channels to go INTO the DVR and not into a TV. IF you want to split one signal for two TV's, you can buy a much less expensive splitter. In case I was not clear, this device hooks up to the satellite dish (the end with one cable). This device splits that satellite single in two so both of the satellite receiving circuits get a signal they can process into an RF signal to go to my television.

I have never tried that, but I know it handles all 4 IP cameras really well simultaneously. I am currently using just the VGA output to a "cheesy" monitor. Since I use it mostly via remote viewing!!

1 video in port would mean you can use a multiplexer to feed multiscreen video to the dvr.

As far as I know : NO! You can only record one channel at a time, and this recording will nlock the viewing of any other channel.

One receiver=one program at a time. The DVR has just one receiver so, whether watching live TV or recording, the unit can only receive one program at a time. Use an RF splitter to send a signal to both your TV and the DVR and you'll be able to record one show to the DVR and watch a different show simultaneously on your TV using the TV's receiver.You can watch a show previously recorded to the DVR hard drive while simultaneously recording another show to the hard drive.

if you're sending HDMI into the powered amp, the EnjoyGadgets splitter is supposed to enable that. but, there's really only one way to find out...

Unfortunately the answer is no, it will not output two video signals simultaneously.

I like ricky answer of january 13,2014. Quote,It will monitor two channels with each channel support up to 4 cameras unquote.As for quad don't know. But possible I think with technical support.I would go into it further with u but need to talk with you. I hope this will of helpful. Remember I think it is possible!

You say u have a four channel dvr but you dont say how many channels you are using...if using all four answer is no......if using less the answer is yes.

Yes you will need a signal splitter (switchable) to provide the signal for the VDR unit and the TV. This will give you the option to view the direct signal (on TV) or allow you to record one while you watch the other. If you desire a device with greater flexibility explore the TIVO recorder/player.Hope this helps......

I don't know, I only use computer monitors. I have seen this question asked before, and guess that older TV's are not compatible with the software on the DVR.

Yes, it is capable of viewing two monitors. There is a connection for a VGA and HDMI connection. You are restricted with the VGA cable due to cables length i.e. most are 3ft long, but you can buy HDMI cable over 50ft, allowing you to monitor the system from a different area than where the DVR is located.
