Signal Splitters for Videowall-type Setups?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday March 11, 2003 @11:45AM from the splitting-your-image-into-portions dept.

TwoHeadsAin'tGoodEnough asks: "For our current contract, my company needs to find video splitters which don't just replicate the same signal across all monitors. Googling isn't helping too much, because thousands of people are selling video splitters, but they're all the wrong kind. We need to split a signal onto 4 displays. (Each display is going to be a 52" plasma screen, *drool*). It doesn't matter whether we are splitting analog vga output or dvi output, so long as it works. Any suggestions?" These type of setups are commonly called "videowalls", and there is a library out there called VWLib that can be used to manipulate such systems. Some videowalls are custom affairs, but I'm sure there are commercial entites out there that build complete setups. Have any of you tried to put something like this together? If so, what were your experiences? Update: 03/12 9:15pm EDT by C :After digging thru the Slashdot Archives, this story was found that might also shed some light on the subject.

A control center I know of uses KVM splitters from NTI http://www.networktechinc.com/. One mouse, one keyboard, four CPU's, four monitors. Can call any screen in the room up on a 72" projection TV.
