Video Wall 8 TVs into one screen

    I am interested in connecting 8 TVs into one screen.

    Currently I have a DVD player (with HDMI output) connected to a hub (video splitter), which in turn is sending the same video to 8 screens simultaneously.

    I'd like to position my screens next to one another, say in a 4x2 configuration (2 rows, each with 4 screens), and have the video display as one big image spreading onto the 8 screens as in a video wall.

    Note: If 4x2 is a difficult configuration, I am open to doing 3x3 (9 screens).

    Note: I may end up having the video source be a cable-box instead of a DVD player.

    Can you recommend the hardware required to accomplish this?

    There are a number of different ways to accomplish this:

    1) A dedicated 'one-to-many' video wall processor, such as EZWall-Pro sends one video source to a pre-configured video wall. The only down side to this solution is that it doesn't support a 4x2 layout, but can support a 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 layout.

    2) Use a matrix switch which supports at least 8 outputs and supports video-wall (such as VM5808H; MXWALL-LT-0408). Obviously you'll be under-utilizing the switch's capability (by using only one source), but you'll gain a pathway for future expansion and the flexibility of arranging your screens anyway you want.

    3) Use an 8-port HDMI video splitter to send the video to eight (8) BrightSign media players (one for each screen). The included BrightAuthor software comes with the ability to setup a video-wall (it's called: BrightWall) of any size and layout. Note: This solution will not work If your video source is HDCP.
