Hello! It's my first post (that will not be the last one...) in this useful website!

I was wondering if I could make a simple patch with video/keyboard/mouse?
I wanted to use db25 to make things easier and make my own pin-out (I must admit i never did db25 cable...).

It maybe will take time but do you think it's possible?
I will have something like 3 computers / 6 screens for three commands.

To be clear the patch would be like that:
sources - pc1.1 - pc1.2 - pc2.1 - pc2.2 - pc3.1 - pc3.2
sources - pc1.1 - pc1.2 - pc2.1 - pc2.2 - pc3.1 - pc3.2
destinations- post1.1 - post1.2 - post2.1 - post2.2 - post 3

The post3 has only one screen. I made 2 sources lines for distributing. The lenght of cable is not a matter.

Thank you (sorry for the froggy english, too!) Your advice is really welcome!

You can either use a program called Timbuktu, and a laptop to control your DAW, or use a unit called the Tranzport to achieve the same effect, which is made by Frontier. But I'm afraid I don't understand your PC routing very well...
