    I have a office and i would like to have a big screen tv display my GPS system monitoring my vehicles and my security cameras.  The gps system is a webpage and the security camra is also web based.  I would like to display one gps for a minute then display the security cameras for a minute and keep switching.  Is that possible?

    Do you want a hardware or software answer?

    A hardware answer would be a switch driven by a small 8 RPM motor.

    Software would be a HTML page that would be a frame and it would refresh the child frame between two sources.

    Or, it could be done in Adobe Flash.

      I really dont care if its a software or hardware solution.  I really just need a reliable way to rotate the input into the TV.  Where would i find a switch with a motor and how reliable are they?

      Hi

      Using Google Chrome browser there is a add on called Revolver Tabs.

      https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/revolver-tabs/dlknooajieciikpedpldejhhijacnbda?hl=en

      This will scroll thru the current tabs you have open keeping the image on the screen for as many minutes as you select.
      You could open a copy of chrome with the 2 webpages  on tabs and shift that to the tv screen with this addon loaded and it would scroll say every minute between the 2 screens. If you click on something on a screen, like to see details from the gps the scroll will stop until you finish what you are doing.
