The Framecastic Set-Top Box drives two independent HDMI outputs at up to 4K, each running full screen or as a 2×2 quad-split with a separate stream per tile. That is up to eight streams on one compact unit. It boots straight into the streams on power-up with no user interaction, which is what makes it usable on a wall where nobody is going to log in.
