Multiple screens displaying a video

AbdAllah Dawoud · Jul 29, 2013

Hello everybody...

I have searched a lot and I believe this is the most suitable place for my question.

I have the following problem: I have (at least) 4 monitors all with the same size, now -some how- I want to connect them to my PC and make each screen display a portion of a video of my choice. I think I'm gonna need a video splitter but I don't know what software work should be done or which hardware component to use.
If my words are not clear then check this video at second 27: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNoyHdWXUlI#t=27s .. He is using 2 monitors but I want to use more than 4 monitors. So how can I do it?

Thanks in advance..

Regards,
AbdAllah

what are you going to be doing with the monitors? just using them for displaying video and work and not gaming etc?

Just for displaying a video, no gaming. I'm going to place them to form a larger screen (3X2 screens).

ah to get a 3x2 setup as one display you will need an eyefinity 6 graphics card

the 7870 eyefinity 6 is the cheapest available solution, you will need 6 mini display port active adapters to whatever connectors your monitors have.

Thanks for the links noidea_77, but I was wondering id using a video splitter would work? check: http://www.aten.com/products/Video-Products/Video-Splitters/16-Port-Video-Splitter-with-Audio~VS0116.html

Does the video splitter do portioning and not just amplifying the same signal and repeating it?

Sorry mauller07, I didn't notice your comment. I'm going to study your solution.

Thanks a lot, your comments are so much appreciated.

no worries, if you want each individual monitor to display something differernt then you need the eyefinity 6 card.

that video splitter is actually a duplicator, each of the outputs will be exactly the same as the input.
