Ah, but have you seen Rad I/O? (http://www.redradio.com/) That
eliminates the problem.

They have a board that takes a single screen and splits the signal up
into pieces that runs over Cat5 to multiple touchscreens.

You could simply run a browser in kiosk mode, split it into multiple
<iframe> sections and voila. Multiple, independent screens that can do
anything a web page, applet, or flash object can do. At CEDIA they
demoed eight screens each running a video.
