VGA signal 'splitter' ?
Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2008 5:38 am
I know these exist for sale but I am looking at building something that would require a more custom solution.
Basically, a normal VGA signal is passed out of the system at a high resolution rate.
I'm going to have several monitors that have lower resolution, and I want to make a multi-monitor setup.
What I need here is a way to read the incoming VGA signal and chop it into a bunch of smaller 'squares' of resolution.. eg comes out of the device at 1600 x 960 and I want to split it into 4 separate outputs of 800*480 each for a different part of the original 1600x960.
I don't know a lot about video hardware so I'm not sure how to go about doing this. Obviously there is a way, but I'd really like to know how it works/how to build something similar.
For the sake of argument we can pretend that the original signal is coming from the output of a laptop VGA jack and will be used to control multiple screens, 6 - 10 of them.
Thanks guys
