Running multiple participants at once?

[JEC]

Assuming you're showing the same video image to all five people, I'd search for something called a 'VGA Splitter' or 'VGA Distribution Amplifier.'

The folks who handle your campus A/V installations may even have something lying on the shelf you could use. Sometimes these are available for short or long term rental from Audio/Visual supply houses.

If you're buying, price starts at a few hundred dollars and goes up from there, depending on the available outputs.

Basically it takes the output from your computer and splits it multiple times for different displays.

It's the same sort of box used in the furniture stores when they want to show the same football game on an entire wall of television sets.

As Blair mentioned above, we can also help you with a set of custom button boxes. These would allow responses from all five participants to be recorded discretely.
