Emphasis on Analog.
I have access to many many Sony Trinitron CRT monitors, which have BNC input and output, so daisy chaining is possible. I'm working on an art exhibition (read: tight budget) that calls for a large CRT video wall. They want multiple channels of video, not just the same content across every screen. I plan to use 6 Micca Speck G2 players (which have composite out), one for each channel. I will daisy chain 4 monitors together per channel. (24 monitors total).
But now this has me thinking about how to create a "mosaic" of CRT screens (a 6x4 array of 640x480 monitors) that could display one image across all 24 CRT's, with a Resolume server to map and control for bezel.
In an ideal world with a big budget:
- GTX1080
- 6 Datapath FX4's (2 daisy-chained on each of the 3 Displayport outputs, giving 8x screens per output)
- 24 HDMI -> RCA converters
If you really love troubleshooting and Tylenol:
- 3X NVS810
- Quadro Sync Card
- 24 Mini Displayport -> RCA converters
Who's got a better idea?
Anyone know how to downstream a single 4K texture to 24 discrete analog SD outputs? Is there any kind of hardware switcher/distribution system that can take HD digital input and output analog SD? Bonus points if they frame-sync!
