How can you connect a PC to multiple TVs?

    In the secondary school where I work, the Principal wants to have multiple TVs showing the same stuff - this will work as an e-notice board. The 10 TVs will usually show PowerPoint slideshows of events, announcements, etc. I imagine all TVs will show content from the same PC.

    The difficulty I see is how to connect it all up. The TVs all have SCART, Component video connectors etc, but which ones should I use and how can I run the signals for all these TVs over (in some cases) 70m back to some "box", which then connects to the PC?

    Has anyone ever done something like this? I know when I go to my local pub, there are loads of TVs not only showing SKY, but also show pub events and slideshows.

    You could use cat 5 to distribute the signal using these.

    All you would have to get trh is some way to covert the signal from the Pc to AV. Search google, i think there is a few devices out there.

    At a guess something like this to a VCR, and then broadcasting it's output around the place.
