Forgive me if this is the wrong forum, but the other video forum seemed tailored to video cards, not this type of issue.

With that said, here's my issue. I work in a Network Operations Center (NOC) for a large bank. In the center, there are approximately 60 some 22inch monitors displaying various monitoring tools that watch over our network. In addition, there are two large (55" Plasma) displays that show other monitoring tools. The higher ups have requested a device which would allow them to stroll into the NOC, and display an image of any of the 60 smaller monitors, on the large screens. They also noted if it was a wireless controlling device, that would be better.

All monitors (small ones) are connected to Windows based PCs (600Mhz or higher) and contain semi-decent video cards. The large screens can take just about any type of input, be it svga, svideo, etc...

Does anyone know of audio/video solutions that could accomplish this?

The first thing that comes to mind is to do it with VNC: Run VNC server on each of the 60 windows boxes. Run a VNC client on the boxes
attached to the big displays. When $BOSS wants to see what's on $DISPLAY, just point the VNC client at $DISPLAY's VNC server. Doesn't
require any extra hardware (you're in a NOC so presumably all your monitoring machines are already network-attached) and you should
be able to have the whole thing up and running in a couple hours.
