Do the movies run independently or are the synchronized with each other? My first thought would be to use a mac pro with 4 dual headed graphics cards (8 video outputs (There are also 4 port graphics cards, so 2 of those would do the same trick)). On each screen, play a single full-screen movie. (The computer's going to treat it as a single large contiguous desktop space). Depending on the movie resolution, the computer'll probably do fine with the playback, especially if you use a quicktime happy codec like H.264. -bw. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Bruce Wyman, Director of New Technologies Denver Art Museum / 100 W 14th Ave. Pkwy, Denver, CO 80204 office: 720.913.0159 / fax: 720.913.0002 <bwyman at denverartmuseum.org>
