This is what RedRadio's RAD-I/O does - it divides a single screens 'real
estate' into 8 sub panels each of which drives a low cost screen
directly over CAT5 with power and video,which means all display is at
full PC speed. Touch screen feedback emulates a mouse click on main PC
- there are a couple of restrictive aspects although not serious. 1)
The 'touch' is shared across all screens, ie they fight for contention
as there is only one mouse effectively and 2) the video card has to be
the main and only display screen on the PC.
