Hi Geetika,

We have done that for slideshows on ZKM in Second Life. Sequences of
Jpegs were composed with imagemagick, encoded into MJpeg and MP4 for
streaming, with a slow framerate of 1fps or so. 

If you want to stream "real" video with higher framerates, you could
probably try to compose the (4) videos on a screen and framegrab the
composed signal from there. There are also video mixing cards with
several inputs, but these are expensive. 


Cheers,
Torrid
