Splitter puzzle: 720p Quadsplit for quad TV's in the back of a Mutant Vehicle.

Hey y'all. Got a kind of weird query today and am looking for ideas!

The problem

I have four 38" TV's that are identical and in square quad configuration. I'm looking for a way to cheaply split a signal from an Xbox 360 or Xbox One (Playing Halo: CE Classic) into the 4 TV's, efficiently having each TV dedicated to a players view.

Now I can do this in an expensive way as I have 3 ATEMs at my house and a whole wall of random video gear but the catch is that this quadsplit is going to live as a dedicated installation inside of my Mutant Vehicle (AKA Art Car).

Not trying to promote but here is some visual context of the vehicle: www.rynobus.com (scroll down for interior shots, the back wall is the one with the screens. 22 other screens are being added as well but that is under control)

Cheap Solutions?

So I'm not finding a whole lot online (in the sub $500 range, there are many fun Video Devices / BMD gear that would work, just not cost effective) to where I can get a quad out of a single 720 signal from an Xbox. Anyone know of any hardware I may have overlooked? Right now the new Blackmagic Multiview 4 HD ($185) seems ok but requires 4 HDMI/SDI shakers to get everything into SDI on the box, making it tricky.

Thanks!

Hd60s only works on 720P output?

I just got the hd60s and I have it hooked to my Xbox and my Asus g74s laptop. But it only gives picture if I set my Xbox display to 720...when I change it to 1080 it gives me a black screen. No clue how to fix this, can anyone help?

Looking to spend less than $500 for programming

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

  • Web development(mainly the wordpress site in chrome or in visual studio code), Microsoft SQL server, Visual studio, GIMP, etc. Will also want to be open to other coding languages programs. I might play some light gaming like CS:GO but I have an xbox one so programming is very important. I basically want this rig to work for whatever programming needs I might have.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

  • Preferably under $500 USD after tax.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • ASAP, faster shipping is a bonus.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

  • Tower

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

  • Missouri, USA. No Microcenter.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

  • Keyboard, mouse, monitor, OS.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

  • Probably not.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

  • SSD and RAM are pretty important for running IDEs and lots of chrome tabs at the same time.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

  • A smaller form factor would be nice but saving money is more important.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

  • No

Extra info or particulars:

  • I have a dog and cat that shed a lot so a good airflow system might be good to prevent accumulation in there. I'm also open to preowned parts if bought from a reputable source(I do not trust my local craigslist at all so I'm avoiding that).

  • I'm open to a prebuilt if there is a good deal. I'm not worried at all about upgradability because I will have a much larger budget in the Fall when I start a "real" job.

  • I also am currently using a lenovo yoga 720 w/ an i5 8th gen, 8gb of ram, intel hd graphics. I am getting this desktop to avoid the hassle of hooking my laptop up and would prefer if this build is a lot stronger than my laptop to help justify this.

Xbox 720?

So, in just maybe one more year, the generation has brought out a new Xbox. We haven't seen any games yet to relate if this theory is actually true or a coincidence. Let's just bet by the end of 2019, advertisements are going to show what games will be aired for the new Xbox. Why do you think there should be an Xbox 720? Or why do gaming producers want this idea to come true?

Console FPS

I play on xbox one, i know in the settings you can change the display from 1080 to 720.

would this in anyway help with the annoying fps drops during late game pop up cups??
