HDMI input output to PC window

Hello Everyone!
Tried to change the title to make it more sensible but apparently I can't.

I wasn't sure what category to put this in so I apologize if this would have been better suited elsewhere.

I am working on a custom built entertainment cabinet that I want to condense things down as much as possible and use a pc as a entertainment hub. Many of the components will be being rebuilt into custom enclosures in this cabinet and I'm looking for a way that I can connect an HDMI based input into a PC and have a window that displays that source on my pc as the output that is just like any other program window.

Note that I'm not talking about running anything via the pc itself, just having a window on my pc as a display output (preferably with full screen capabilities)


I have presented this elsewhere so let me also clarify from those responses that were repetitive and unhelpful:
I'm not looking for an hdmi switch
I don't want to use a multiviewer
I'm not looking for 2 inputs to one monitor that are seperate

This is an HDMI from one source being displayed in a window on the windows pc




Thanks for any help or ideas on software/hardware/accessories to achieve this

Sounds like he wants to run an HDMI with a signal into the computer and have that signal display within a window within the OS.

Correct.

I have never seen it done, but I'm curious on if anyone knows of anything that can do this
