Does such a thing exist??

[stretch0069]

I'd give you the reason, but you would just shake your head and wonder what the hell is going on in the FAA, so.........

...anyway.....is there any piece of hardware that will take 10 PC VGA inputs and selectively output to 4 different monitors?

There are 10 PCs. They have 4 big monitors. They want to be able to select an input and display it on whichever monitor they want.

what their solution was would blow your mind.

i tried to do a search, but couldn't get anywhere. just hoping that someone here has heard of such a thing.

Re: Does such a thing exist??

yes of course. everything you want can be done.

there is offerings from http://9xmedia.com/ (these look to be server based which i would not recommend)

what you really want is an NTI video matrix switch http://www.networktechinc.com/vmtx.html#

what i am thinking though is that you have 10pcs and 4 external big monitors. but you also have the 10 monitors that the computers already have (so 14 outputs really).

You could use one solution which would be the 16in and 16out but that would be quite expensive at $8310 (plus the cables).

It would probably be cheaper to put two graphics cards in each pc and run one to the local monitor and the other to the switch (unless they already have dual output vga cards in). So you would need the 16in and 4out at $2915. (plus the cables)

control of the switch would be via rs232 or over the lan with a web based interface

can i have a job please. it sucks here this week

damn Will....I can't believe I missed this! I would have replied earlier. Sorry dude.

Its such a cluster f$%k they have. Air Traffic Controllers are children. Ugh.......

The PCs they want info displayed from is about as non-standard as can be envisioned by the human mind. UGH!!!!!! If I showed you pics of how they have their crap wired right now, you would dump right where you sit. It is the most unbelievable mound of $h!t.


.........ooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............................



about the job.......you're probably better off where you are.
