Hi,
I am trying to run ten 4K 55 inch TV's, and trying to figure out the most cost effective way to do it.
The 10 screens will all show different images that will fade in and out (no video), like a slide show. I am not looking to span all 10 displays into one big display.
What would be the best approach be to achieve this? So far AMD looks promising (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Eyefinity) with their Southern Islands, Sea Islands and Volcanic Islands lines of chips, but I'm still not 100% sure if it will be the cheapest. I know if I go down the AMD route that I'll need to cards. I'm not sure if there are any options from NVIDIA that are cost effective or Matrox.
My other idea was to configure 10 raspberry Pi's (found a thread where they have managed to get them displaying 4K @ 20Hz). But this means more wires and mess, not to mentioned the PI wasn't designed to output 4K so more chance things could go wrong, I need something fairly solid I can rely on.
Has anyone else attempted to hookup this many 4K displays using one PC? what GPU's did you use?
Thanks,
Anton
