RE: Multi-VGA to Single screen ?

["Sullivan, Glenn" <gsullivan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If there is a PC attached to the plasma, you can do this for free.

Load up VNC Server on each of the three, and the VNC Client on the 4th.
Using PSExec, kick off the VNC client remotely, specifying the correct
info.

So, on the plasma attached machine, have three batch files (only one
shown below... duplicate for PC2 and PC3):

rem c:\scripts\PC1.bat
rem Batch File to connect to PC1
c:\WinVNC\VNCViewer.exe /fullscreen PC1

And then, on PC1, make a batch file to remotely run the other batch
file:

rem batch file to remotely kick off pc1.bat on PC # 4
psexec \\PC4 c:\scripts\pc1.bat

All free...

If you absolutely have to have a hardware solution, take a look at the
Linksys Wireless Presentation Player, a device which attaches to the
plasma directly, and then other PCs can connect to it remotely (over
wireless or wired connection) and dump their screen output to the
plasma.  But the refresh rate is not all that...

Here's one for all you truckers out there !

Got a requirement here to have a system where there are 3 PC's - and
they
all have their own monitor. Now, we also want the ability to "press a
switch" and that display from the PC you are at to then display on a
4th

monitor (plasma in this case) as well as your own.

The 3rd PC would normally just show photos as a screenshow (not a
'usable'
PC)

Any ideas ? I was thinking KVM but then you'd want to be able to switch
it
from one of the 2 pc's
