Hiya Questions: 1. Can this be achieved with a single PC with either 2 dual video cards or a single 4-head video card (I have noted a Matrox QID-E128LPA or something similar). |

4. Would a simple splitter be sufficient for the signal to the singer LCD screens (presuming the length is acceptable). |

5. For the re-broadcasting of the video camera signal to other rooms - is there any other specialized equipment needed here? |

I am not sure if any other equipment is needed. Originally I thought I would need a matrix switcher or something similar but now I am not sure. |

Finally - and maybe I should have mentioned / thought of this earlier.... we also need the option of an additional single VGA feed coming from the stage for use by speakers that want full control of the projectors (which would have to be in clone mode). |

Thanks everyone for their feedback. RGB signal length from the control box to the projectors or monitor LCD screens will need to be up to about 110 feet, so presumably we will need amplification for this length? |

What are people's thoughts on using 2 x dual head video cards vs 1 x quad head video card? The first option appears far less expensive. Any recommendations on models etc? |

Any suggestions on good quality VGA switchers with 4 inputs and 4 outputs? |

Thanks Arnold. Will have an experiment with the existing computers to see how they go with 2 video cards. Below are the all of the switching configurations that I can think of - which would presumably define the equipment needed. The main monitor for the control PC would obviously be directly connected, and would not go through the switcher. |
