How to stream from 4 PC/360's to a single viewing source?

[CSavory]

Hey guys,

I'll try and describe clearly what i'm trying to set up.

I have 4 PC's with capture cards that are connected to 4 XBOX 360's in a single room. I would like to be able to stream the footage from the 4 360's to another computer in a different room. That computer would like to see all 4 of the streams on a single screen.

What hardware/software would I require to set something like this up?

Thanks for any information!

One way would be to use a multiplexer like security systems use. http://www.supercircuits.com/Video-Multiplexers/QS29 The downside is it's composite only and you need a monitor that has a composite input, IE, a TV.

Or you may be able to use another capture card in the PC used for the display of the four images and some software tricks to stack all four images. Avisynth might be able to help there. But you would still likely need composite inputs for the card.

But other here may have some better solutions.

And welcome to our forums.

Thank you very much Redwudz!

Regarding the multiplexer. The room with the computer/tv i want to have the 4 screens viewable on is on a different floor than where the 360's are. I would not be able to run a wire from the 360's to the multiplexer. That removes it as an option doesn't it?
