Video Wall using multi output graphic cards

Aug 31, 2016 5:24AM PDT

I am trying to make a video wall with TVs arranged in 2x2 or 3x3 fashion. For the input to the TVs, I want to use a graphic card with multiple output ports. This card will be installed in a computer's PCIe/PCI slot. Along with that, to give the input to the video wall from any external system for which I thought of installing another graphic card with an HDMI/DP input port. Both graphic card will be connected to each other via Crossfire/SLI. In this arrangement, it will be transferring the display from the HDMI/DP input port to the 4 port output and then to the video wall.

The whole point of this arrangement is to get the screen of an external computer mirrored to the video wall. I know this sounds quite long shot but if it can be done, it will be really helpful. Please share your inputs.

Is the amount of information that is now on the web. What you noted is OK, well done but google this too "VideoWall" as well as "Videowall using a PC."

Plenty of content on this subject.

Thanks but can it do screen mirroring from a second computer to the video wall via the intermediate computer?

You either find the app for that

Or have it setup, written for you. There are folk that want complex setups done for free. That's fine to ask but for this one, I'd go with off the shelf video wall systems if you can't create it from what is on the web today.
