What is HDMI-in capture for digital signage?

HDMI-in capture lets a signage screen show a live HDMI source — a set-top box, camera, or laptop — as a zone within your scheduled content, so the live feed and your messaging play together on one display.

Can I show live TV alongside my signage content?

Yes. On supported commercial displays, you can place a live TV or broadcast feed in one zone of a layout while your scheduled content plays in the others.

What sources can I capture?

Cable and set-top boxes, cameras, laptops, and other HDMI sources can be brought into a layout, depending on the display's capture support.

Which displays support HDMI-in capture?

HDMI-in capture runs on supported commercial LG and Samsung displays with the right inputs. Share your display model and source with us and we'll confirm support.

Can I make a picture-in-picture layout?

Yes. Place the live feed as a window inside a branded layout so it plays alongside your content in a picture-in-picture arrangement.

Does HDMI-in work on every screen?

No — capture depends on the display's hardware and inputs. It runs on supported commercial LG and Samsung models; confirm your display before planning a deployment.

Can layouts with a live source be scheduled?

Yes. A layout that includes a live source is scheduled and managed like any other content from the Loopvew dashboard.

Where is HDMI-in capture most useful?

Sports bars, lobbies, control rooms, and conference spaces — anywhere a live broadcast or source should share the screen with your scheduled content.

The details

Live TV and your content, one screen

Loopvew lets a supported display show a live HDMI source — the game, the news, a camera feed — in a zone alongside your scheduled content, so one screen does both jobs.

Stop choosing between the broadcast and the brand

In a bar, lobby, or waiting area, the live feed and your promotions shouldn’t compete for screens. HDMI-in capture puts them together in a branded picture-in-picture layout, managed and scheduled like any other content.

Bring in any HDMI source

Set-top boxes, cameras, laptops, and broadcast feeds can all join the layout, depending on the display’s capture support. Confirm your display model and source with us and we’ll confirm what’s supported.

Where it fits

Sports bars show the match beside the menu, lobbies show the news beside the brand, and control rooms show a camera feed beside the dashboards. It runs on supported commercial LG and Samsung displays — start with the placement where live content matters most.
