i got small project from my universiti to setup a entertainment media using 1 computer and 7 lcds. the problem is how to split from the computer and the hardware need to use. and the best thing is the lcd is 60" size.

friends said just use hdmi cable and use a splitter. but how to find long length hdmi cable in the market? else or using the wireless but i still cant find any product which can split the view using wireless signal

btw long length of hdmi cable may lead to high resistance? the video quality can effect or not?

how about using wireless? b4 this i heard that we can split the computer display just using a device which transmit using wireless signal. but i forgot the brand

depend on your video content quality

if VCD quality (ie. PAL 576i) con use RF modulation, can use either single RG6 coaxial cable+rf spliter or wirelessly using RF 1x transmitter+7x receiver pair to distribute video

if 720p or 1080i HD quality, must use HDMI splitter + HDMI cable, wireless HDMI is available but very expensive, you can search the net to find out more

btw 30m HDMI cable will pose no problem displaying HD video, some fellow forumers have tested it connecting to remote projector

you don't need a 7 output graphics card doh.gif , one HDMI output will suffice, then just add this 8x output HDMI plitter

you need a 1 In 8 Out Splitter and 8 HDMI Cables. Please go to my e-store to look for the items. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1730748

I got 10m HDMI Cable. If not enough, I got HDMI Connector as well. The quality of the HDMI cable is important for longer HDMI cable cause the signal might not able to reach if the cable quality is not good..

this av transmitter is for SD quality video only.. it receives input
using the av cable (yellow, red, white).. sold in garage sales..
it works for any device, astro, tv, dvd player etc..

well, if your project purpose is to display whatever you want to present
on 7 different lcd.. this should do the job. But if you want to display
HD quality image, then, this is not it..

if using multi-output HDMI splitter, then you will only need a graphics card with ONE HDMI OUTPUT

currently what video outputs are available behind your computer?

do you want to display content in HD or SD resolution?

do you want to diplay the same content on all display? or 7 different contents on 7 display?

based on your requirement, HDMI splitter + HDMI cables is the right direction to go
