Connecting multiple TVs to a computer

[Zard]

ok i know it's a bit far-fetched

but is it posible to connect multiple TVs to a PC and be able to turn them on and off using the computer with any special software or sensors etc?

well i guess it would depend on how u would like connect the two tv, cause u can have two tv showin the same image with jus a jus a splitter, use the svideo converter to rca then u a rca splitter and then u criss,

to show two different images on two tv connect to one pci usin on vid card not sure about how u would go about doin that

i want multiple TVs on a grander scale like up to 10

basically i want to interface with the TV through the computer as much as posible without using the tv remote

hmmm... on/off is troublesome but otcwireless (http://www.otcwireless.com) makes a product that does the multi-monitor thing.

If you're interested you can drop a link at info@digisolvit.com

good link GK


but i want multiple television screens not computer monitors

you'd need a couple S-video splitters i think....

i havent seen anything more than a 3 way one...

Zard let me see if I get you!?! You want the output from the PC to go to as many monitors as possible and a way to turn off all TVs from the PC without having to use a remote?

As far as connectivity goes that is possible...but trning them off using a pc...that's tricky...I've had some experience operating a system that gives feed from a PC to TVs and what we did was buy the SAME BRAND of TVs...use one remote and turn them off. We created another system and replaced the TVs with 17" Monitors and we still have to MANUALLY turn on/off the monitors...hence my reason for saying that it may not be possible...

basically thats it

what i want displayed on the TVs are like logos and vids etc which would be fed from the PC....but I also what each TV to be able to display it's own stuff independent of the PC or the other TVs at times

zard, as we discussed, there are actually TV ones available - but that doesn't fit the solution of separate video feeds - instead it gives a single feed to multiple TVs.

[Zard]

the single feed to multiple TVs can work GK

lets talk more by messenger or PMs

I was talking to someone about your situation and what he said is that you CAN have separate VIDEO FEED to ALL the TVs from one Device...if you use a THIN CLIENT...

[Zard]

a THIN Client?!?!?!?!?!?

wah dat?

[erbag]

He was explaining while on the phone but I had to end the conversation pre-maturely. However, this is the DEFINITION (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/T/thin_client.html) I found...He wants to better understand the situation in order to help...tried my best to communicate what was posted but you can hit me up with the FULL 100%...so I can feed it to him...

[erbag]

BASED on what he said...it's as if it has MEMORY for each output and you can store what you want displayed in the allocated places...you can also update the info as regularly as possible...when he spelt the word over the phone i thought I heard PHIN CLIENT...but when I did a search found out it was a THIN CLIENT...

He told be once about FEEDING VARIOUS ADS into STORES from one location and I believe this is what they'd use...
