How to split video output signal from 1 PC to 40 projectors [closed]

I am thinking of implementing this by daisy-chaining multiple splitters but I am not sure if it will work.
Does anyone know of a cost-effective solution to this?
Thanks.

You certainly can't do this on the PC itself, so it's off-topic. I don't see why chaining multiple splitters shouldn't work...

I'm afraid of signal attenuation and I'd like to do some research before running off and buying a bunch of expensive splitters that might not meet my requirements. The cost of the cables run up to quite a lot too.

Splitters must be active, so you needn't worry about signal attenuation. You need to make sure to use powered splitters, though. And yes, wiring up that many splitters is a nightmare no matter how you go about it. So a network based solution, possibly even WLAN if possible in your situation, with a multicast stream would be a lot better (non-multicast will saturate WLAN). If it's LAN instead of WLAN, you need a big switch and lots of LAN cables instead of HDMI splitters and HDMI cables...

You could output the video as a stream on one pc, and play this stream with something like a raspberry pi attached to the 40 projectors? In this case, every projector would have a raspberry pi attached to it.

That might be a good idea actually. What software would you use to stream? I would need to stream as close to real-time as possible. Ideally through LAN without an Internet connection.
