We are exploring the possibility of installing a single PC with multiple
monitors (about ten) in a workcenter of our plant. The workcenter has ten
stations and the proposal is for a monitor to be at each station to
display information about the work being done at that station. No user
input is required at each station. This would likely be a Windows XP
environment.

Questions:

1. How would one physically attach ten monitors to a single PC?
2. What distance limitations are there on a signal for a typical monitor?
Can they be overcome by additional hardware?
3. What software or other methods are available to control that a
particular window opens on a particular monitor?


I've worked with multiple monitors on a single PC at home, both with
multiple video cards and with a single card controlling two monitors. That
was in a desk setting where I could see the monitor I was dragging a
window to. This environment is one where you probably couldn't see all of
the monitors from a single spot. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
