I had already had a glance at IP Homenet and couldn't see the specific
facility you described there, you have now clarified that , thanks :)

I am unsure as to what will suit my needs some homebrew based on the ASEL
or
another video switcher, Keith's KAT 5 or something similar to IP Homenet.

Just checking out the options for now but whichever solution I decide on I
think it is going to be expensive (nothing new in that!).

Could you let me know when specific details of the solution for IP Homenet
are available?

Thanks

Mick
