Play Your PS4 via Xbox One HDMI Pass-Through Port

It’s a trend to apply HDMI port in any HD devices. Few weeks ago, the HDMI Forum introduced the HDMI 2.0 version to the world, which means the possibility and fluency solution for 4K. Obviously, to follow the trend, the game console like Xbox One has caught up with the steps.

When it was first announced that Xbox One had an HDMI pass-through port allowing for other devices to have their video routed through Microsoft's new console, a common question was whether this feature would support PlayStation 4. As it turns out, it can support "any HDMI device," including PlayStation 4.
The Xbox One's HDMI pass-through port will support "any HDMI device", including the PlayStation 4, Microsoft confirmed during its presentation at the Tokyo Game Show. The confirmation from Microsoft that the Xbox One will not block the PlayStation 4's video signal comes shortly after Sony revealed that it will not prevent users from capturing video from the PlayStation 4's HDMI port.

So as you likely know, the Xbox One has both HDMI-in and HDMI-out capability. The point of HDMI-in is to allow you to hook up a cable box, with output then running from the Xbox One to your television. As it turns out, however, that's not the only thing the Xbox One can do. Since the HDMI-in port is a standard option, it can accept video input from a PS4 -- which means it can also accept a video stream from a PC. According to Xbox senior director of product management, Albert Panello, "any application can be snapped to a game... this could be the live TV feed, so if you wanted to play Ryse and Killzone (a PS4 exclusive), you could snap that."

With the benefits of Xbox One’s HDMI pass-throughport, gamers will be able to access the PS4’s video signal through the Xbox One dashboard and play Xbox One and PS4 games side-by-side if you so choose.
