Closed Circuit Computer Television? 29
Modern Fix asks: "I work at a small business with about a dozen employee's slaving in half a dozen offices. We're all relativily computer and media savvy, but have all desired for one thing: a networked television channel we can all use for project work and multi video playback. Basically, we've got a television in each office, and an extra pentium 3 computer system. Is there a way (perferabbly wireless) to configure that computer to display media (divx, etc), general computer (powerpoint, etc) work and whatever we have as a source input onto all of our televisions?"

Didn't think so.
After all, who encodes powerpoint presentations as divx?

Why would I want to watch the same pr0n as them anyway? They can have all the little people and bungie cords they want, it's all lunchmeat, all the time for me

but if you would work for me, I'd be removing that TV from your office, as I'd prefer you toiling away than watching "Pretty in Pink".

Do they advertise ??

I apologise about ruining the humour, i do run jokes through in my head many times to see which work better. Without the "do they advertise" bit it sounded slightly like i was being rude towards the parent post and i wasnt sure how to impress upon people that i was referring to their ammount of ads.
Thanks for that anyway - i love thinking about comic presentation.

If they put up advertisments with the murky, green hued video that actually comes out of those cameras, no one would buy them.

They come in 1 and 3 channel flavors, so you can monitor multiple things by flipping a channel.
This assumes you have a raw video feed, either from a camera, or other device.

Another company GlobalStreams had a product called OnQ that could also do that.
