Good Afternoon,

I want to be able display videos across multiple, big, 50" monitors on a laptop using Scratch Live, SL 1 and a Windows 7 64-bit, Radeon graphics card, i7 processor.

Please advise.

Hey Val,

You will need a distribution amp such as this --> www.google.com
Of course you need to know the output that is coming from your computer and get an amp that has that particular input and you will also need to know how your sending the device to the flatscreens (vga? HDMI?) and get an amp that has those particular outputs.

Is it fair to say, when distributing video across multiple monitors, use HDMI? What about across VGA/RGB cable?

VGA and RGB are fine.

Quick ?,

Looking to upgrade the SL1. Which interface is best for video? I understand they all support video but any pros and cons amongst them?

Thx!

There really aren't any restrictions when using VSL with any of the Rane hardware devices but there are some differences in regards to audio.
