Dream Alchemist - Utopia Pinball VideoWall and Show Screen Part 2, first flow and Hardware

Hello, in this update, I am showing my first flow.  My goal is to have 8 video inputs and output them onto 4 different displays.  The video ins are 1080P 60, and the Outputs are UHD 60, in portrait mode.  I am creating a canvas that has all 4 screens in portrait mode as one canvas.  The reason I'm doing that, is I plan on combining 4 outputs using Mosaic mode, or whatever the equivalent is on the nvidia 5090 comes out.  Yes, we can do that on gaming cards now, cool.  I have switchers that allows me to switch the video inputs for each panel, and also a switcher that allows me to switch between a constant and video inputs.  The constant I'm picturing puting in other items like leaderboards, tournament play, music or other cool stuff.

I'm labeling each panel with what is chosen right now as straight manual inputted text.  I plan on expressioning this to be based on what is chosen in the switch, only I don't know how to use expressions yet, so baby steps.  If you have ideas, I'd love to know;)

Below are a screengrab of the flow and also another of my output.  It may not seem like much yet, but it's the start of something great to me.

Next, I've been doing all my proofing on my 3 year old Razer laptop.  It's been great, but I'm building a new workstation to do the heavy lifting too.  Below are the specs.  I'm sure this is overkill, but I would rather have overkill than not enough.  If you can think of something that I'm missing, or think I'm crazy let me know.
