Re:point cameras

iirc hl2 by default only supports 1 active camera that can render to  
as many monitors as you like. You can always change the camera source  
to show other scenes but only one can be shown at a time. The reason  
behind it (again iirc) is due to it only having one frame buffer for  
the monitors by default.  If you're working on a mod team you may  
wanna ask your coder to implement multiple cameras, we have it working  
with up to 4 active cameras in Dystopia (www.dystopia-game.com). Keep  
inind the extra resource costs involved with rendering 4 scenes + the  
first person view. if you guys need a hand throw us an email and we  
should be able to help but as far as I know you need it coded in,  
there no easy way to hack it together.
