What do I need to drive (4) 36" LCD's and put a Fullscreen movie on each?

So, here's what I want to do.......
My office wants to replace the TV's in the Lobby running DVD's that loop...Sound only from 1 TV....
I'm thinking it would be a lot better to not just get 4 36" LCD's and run the same crappy looping DVD's that are for 4:3 TV's
I'm suggesting (4) 36" LCD's Probably a Sony XBR or something we can pick up local. I don't know where I can get Monitors instead of TV's but that should be fine. We will have them mounted on swivel mounts, not flush against the wall. I'm thinking they will be about 12" apart.
I would need each TV to run a different fullscreen video, or (2) running looping Videos and (2) running picture screensaver or iPhoto Slideshow loops. Something along those lines.
The 3-part question is:
Can I use a 2.66 quad intel, get a second Nvidia or Radeon Card and run (4) TV's connected via DVI off of it?
Can Quicktime Pro (or another piece of software) put a different fullscreen movie on each TV?
Can One of the TV's include Audio? Not all 4 because that would be horrible for the Secretary at the front....:-)
Any assistance or experiences you can offer would be appreciated!
I can get the video re-coded out of AVID to be widescreen instead of fullscreen, but it's not HD source, so I am not sure if the TV's will have 720p video pushed to them.
Oh, and if this would work, would I burn out the machine in a week of running this? It would sit in a cool Network Closet, not an open area.
Thanks!

consider the 36" LCD-TV will support max resolution of 1920x1080 (assuming is 1080p).
MacPro with 2x decent graphic card like ATI HD 3870 is sufficient to handle the 4x LCD-TV. But not sure if Quicktime can play each of the video / clips as full screen video on each display. Also, only the primary ACTIVE video will produce sound, other will be silence...
give VLC a shot.

  • What do I need to run Windows on a Mac and Word for Windows?

    I have a Mac OS X Lion and would like to run Windows programs which are only programmed to run on Windows.  What do I need so that I can run Windows and Microsoft Word.

    "I have a Mac OS X Lion and would like to run Windows programs which are only programmed to run on Windows."
    Your best bet is to use VirtualBox to provide a virtual machine capability allowing the installation of a guest OS like windows. I've used VB extensively for years and I highly recommend it's use for your issue.
    If you have a full version of windows, you could use bootcamp as an alternative to VB but you lose the ability to access the OSx environment while booted in windows.
    Best of luck

  • What do I need to travel to S.E Asia and Europe?

    Wondering if any one can help me here, I'm not the most tech savvy person and I've looked over allot of information and none of it is concise. I'm totally confused as to what EXACTLY I need in order to charge and run my 2012 Macbook air and an Iphone 3G. I'm from the U.S and traveling to Singapore, Bangkok, India, Cambodia, Spain, Switzerland, Germany and France for business.  I realize that I need an 230V adapter and then two different types of "plugs" (I may be using the wrong terminology for the thing that goes in the socket) one for S.E Asia and then one for throughout Europe. The Apple "world traveler adapter kit" has bad reviews but I see that it has the different types of "plugs".  Is this really all I need?
    Will the power cord/charging cord that come with these devices work once plugged into the adapter they say 100-240V on them? I looked up both devices and they both have "Auto switching power supply"-so both devices adapt automatically then? I also see that a power strip is recommended for overseas travel to use/charge multiple electronics. Anyone have any experience with this and have any info on actual product requirements for traveling or recommendations? THNX!

    You've got the picture, OK.
    Many years ago I traveled those parts of the world, except India and Cambodia, with Apple's World Travel Kit. It was perfectly OK. But that's nearly 20 years ago. And, yes, you will find similar products both less and more expensive. You should check out your local AAA office that has a travel agency. They also have adaptors as will many computer stores and department stores.

  • What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

    What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

    Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

  • What format for my external drive allows use with Mac and Windows?

    I got an external hard disk (1 tr) and i want to used it for my windows and mac, i read i can have two partitions one for mac and one for windows, but i dont really want to have two parts, and I read i can format it by fat32 and i can write and read on both os, is that true?
    I want to use it for movies, os backups, and files..
    Is it true that i can only save files up to 4 GB when the format is fat32?
    please advise..

    It this case you would need to to go to "Disk Utility" on mac and select 3 partions which will be under the Parition Layout in my screen shot below. "Current" is grayed out that will drop down select 3 partitions and make one NTFS, second Mac OS Extended, third FAT32. Using the FAT32 for both Mac and Windows but the files have to be under 4GB each.

  • What do i need to connect Macbook to LCD tv?

    Can someone tell me what is the best way to connect my Macbook to my LG LCD TV?
    I want to watch DVDs on my tv and hear the sound through the tv.
    I have the following connections available on my tv:
    VGA
    DVI
    s-video
    composite (red, yellow & white)
    Regards Simon

    Hi, refering to your spec, these two might work, and it is up to you which one you want to use, for I prefer the the VGA one, since the DVI have at least 3 kind (DVI-I, DVI-D, and DVI-A) if I am not mistaken.

    Read the user comment on the DVI adapter section, looks like it is easier to use the VGA one instead of the DVI one if you don't know which DVI your LG TV provided for the DVI.
    And as for the sound the first post is give you clear information on that.
    Good Luck.

    Did you not transfer them to your computer? and back them up?
    You only get one download.
    Unless you are in the U.S where Apple has released a Beta version of icloud.
    If not in the U.S., you could try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception.  they are under no obligation to allow.
