Generally, **Yes, the local media player software [WPITCOM Signage Suite 3](https://www.wpitcom.com/en/wpitcom-signage-suite-3-en) can support up to 4 displays current*)** , but depends on

- The number of HDMI outputs of the local hardware player device

- The power of the GPU and the memory of the local hardware player

- The required resolution o each connected display

Sometimes the question is asked in relation with **video walls** – but that is different, as the majority of **“normal” video walls are driven over 1 display connector** and the professional screens are splitting the signal accross the video wall matrix – there are of course exceptions, but these are rather special.

The question often arise when talking about **menu boards, sandwich installation (front- and back side), window displays and some other advertising visions.**

Basically it a **lso despends on the operating system of the device** , whether it is Linux® or Android™. In contrast to Linux, Android is based on a one-screen-concept, mainly, even if the Android device has multiple HDMI interfaces, internally it is handled as one big screen only. Linux in contrast to that supports also the all-screens-separate as well as the one-screen-concept with certain settings, which can be set in WPITCOM Signage Suite 3.

**Up to four separately driven screens with one hardware player**

With the correct compatible hardware player, you can operate currently up to 4 screens on a single hardware player simultaneously, noticing that split screens in [WPITCOM Signage Suite 3](https://www.wpitcom.com/en/wpitcom-signage-suite-3-en) for Android is also possible but needs to use the included “Split Screen App”.

Please ask for details.
