Setup a TV to view many different PCs?

GoodGame Boston · Jul 27, 2014

I'm opening a PC Cafe soon and will have 2-4 large TV screens on the walls. I'd like to set them up so you can view all the pc stations like you're watching normal tv. So channel 1 = station 1, channel 2 = station 2, etc.

I know I can plug a hdmi cable into a PC to view, but how can I cycle through 25-50 pcs on ONE tv screen?

This is for when we have tournaments and we can show the game on the big screen. Also will deter people from doing bad things if they know people can see them anytime on the big screen.

Thanks for the help!

There are HDMI switches which let you flip between multiple HDMI sources, they aren't super expensive though you would likely need to nest a few of them to get 25 outputs, 5 in a creative arrangement would get you 16 screens, you would have some lag between whats on the TV and whats on the PC screen if you do start nesting a bunch since you will have some added latency.

I see many hdmi switches with 16 ports, but they're 16 out, 1 in. I can't find the reverse. Do they make such things?
