[streaming] monitoring several simultaneous signals

[Anthony Benjammin DeNardo III]

we are currently multicasting 5 channels (channel = mpeg stream) to our 
campus using VLC.  I am curious, is anyone else monitoring several 
streams at the same time?  I've tried with two pretty beefy computers 
(G5/1GB RAM, dualcore2GHz/1GB RAM) and neither seem to be able to keep 
up with decoding more than 3 or 4 streams at the same time :-(

what I'm interested in, is creating a monitoring station, where we can 
check the integrity of each transmission at a glance.  so I envision 
that we will shortly scale our multicasting up to 16 channels.  I would 
like to be able to watch something like a 2 inch by 2inch window of each 
of the 16 channels.

can anyone recommend a system that might be able to handle this?   or if 
you have other suggestions, I'm open :-)

thanks in advance!
