Game console switch box

摘要

An apparatus for dividing a split screen video game display into two separate video displays, for displaying two different screens. The apparatus includes a main switch box which connects to the game console and emulates all the connections expected by the game console. The main switch box wirelessly connects to a receiver switch box. The main switch box takes the video signal from the game console, divides the split screen into two halves, and outputs one half on a first screen connected to the main switch box and sends the other half to the receiver switch box for output on a second screen connected to the receiver switch box. The main switch box also takes a first headset input signal and a second headset input signal from the receiver switch box and combines the headset signals into one signal for sending to the game console.
