spiritpyre Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 (edited) What I want to do is split the signal from a system and have each player's "screen" sent to a different tv instead of all being displayed on one tv -- and before you say "get a 4-way splitter" that WON'T work because it just sends the same signal to each tv. (and yes... I've had people suggest that).Example: you have an x-box w/ halo and 4-players.when you set it up normally on one tv, that screen is split in four.could I send each quarter of the screen to a separate tv (like electronics stores split their signal across multiple tvs)? I've always wanted to do this, but never found any info on it. I'm guessing that I would need some kind of device that could split the signal "screen" in quarters and send each quarter to diffeerent outputs. So the end result is each player gets his/her screen on their own tv.Any ideas/links/names? thanks<edit> and before anybody asks I have tried to google this and maybe its my search criteria but i've never found anything.

SomeoneElse Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Here's something I found using google ("split tv signal into 4 quarters"):http://kontek.net/davidwonn/4tvs.htmlThey don't talk about what equipment it took, but mentioned that it was about $2000.I've never thought about doing this since most games I have are either one or two players (a few four player party games) and usually all the action is on one screen without splitting. For shooters, I won't play those on consoles, only on a PC and then each person has their own screen Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverscreen Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 sorry mate but it looks like it aint gonna happen for you!to split a screen into 4 quarters is a very complicated process. (it happens that my neighbour was the main man in the group of scientists who invented the LCD and knows his stuff about monitors and light transition).i think that $2000 equipment is the closest u gonna get to doing what you want.to be honest, i'd just buy a very big tv......

Wolf_Demon Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 it would probably be cheaper to get 3 more xboxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
