Audio Visual Nightmare

[awzm]

At the company I work at we're having a mini nightmare trying to get a range of equipment working together. Put plainly, we want to have one PC that can output it's screen to any 1 of 3 TV's or all 3 TV's at one time.

We have 3 large Samsung flatscreen LCD's. Our newest (model LE40R86 - 40'') has the following connections...

3 x HDMI connections (2 rear and 1 side)
SVideo input
RF in
Component in
2 x scart connections
Composite AV
PC in DSu
Audio out L/R
Optical sound out

Our main problem is that we want it to hook up to a small form factor PC that is not physically near either of the TV's. The TV is central in the office whereas the TV's are around the outsides. Further to that, the SFF PC only has PCI slots but is running Windows Media Centre. The ultimate goal is to have the PC's output going to one TV and be able to switch it to another TV (or all TV's) quickly and easily.

Ideally I'd like to know the plausibility of getting the PC's output on the TV's including what equipment I'd need. If it requires getting a new SFF PC then so be it but can this actually be done?


Many thanks in advance.

The best idea I think would be:

Buy a 4 port DVI KVM which will connect to all 3 TVs, through a DVI to HDMI adapter.
You can press some shortcut key on the keyboard to switch screen once it is setup.

Although some TVs may not work well with the KVM switch or the computer because of the TV reporting wrong resolution. I'm not an expert on this as I don't own a TV.

Personally I'd forget the digital connections on the panels. You don't state what the other panels are, but I'll assume they all have a DSub input. Then just use a VGA amplifier (1 input in 3 out) or matrix switcher. You'll have to set the resolution of the PC to one that they all accept.
