Stretching single video feed across 3 HDMI Monitors

[Paul Peterson]

I’m going to be designing a show where I’m looking to stretch a single DP output across 3 HDMI Monitors.  I already have a Matrox TripleHead2Go, but I need to eventually run everything over HDMI.

Does any have any experience with this StarTech gear:  http://www.startech.com/AV/Splitters/DisplayPort/Triple-Head-DisplayPort-Multi-Monitor-Adapter~SP123DP

I figure I can go from this device into my various HDMI extenders using a simple DP-HDMI cable.

Is there something else out there?

Thanks!

Hello Paul

While I've never used that device, the page states that you need active DP to HDMI adapters if you want HDMI output, so do not think a straight DP-HDMI cable will do the trick.

I use a TripleHead2Go Digital SE all the time, with three DVI to HDMI adapters that cost $5 each. Works a charm for me.

Cheerio

Thanks Sam,

I neglected to mention that I’m actually splitting 1 image to two video screens, each of which are comprised of 3 HDMI monitors.  Originally, I thought about using two Matrox Triple Heads as you suggested, but the website says that Multiple GXM’s are only supported on Windows machines.

I suppose could split the 3 outputs, but that feels like it could get messy.
