Network question

Here is the scenario:
Computer-based video wall processor using Win7. One Ethernet port to hit the Corporate LAN, one Ethernet port to support Clients managing the wall.
The videowall processor can decode the H.264 streams directly on the processor and open them as individual windows on the videowall.
There are multiple cameras feeding the LAN on various subnets. My question is, "Is it possible to be able to subscribe to those rtsp feeds from the different subnets at one time without having to make ad hoc system changes?" Sorry for sounding so ill-informed.

Let me see if I understand this properly..
-The processor has 2 NICs, and you have one NIC plugged into the LAN, and one NIC into something that allows clients to manage the wall, correct?
-The cameras live in different subnets, but are all part of one 'logical' LAN, correct? Do all of these subnets have the capability to talk to one another? As in, is there a router that can route among the networks?
-You're wondering if you can talk to the cameras from the video processor

That pretty much sums it up. I believe these cameras have their addresses set by IT as a static IP, rather than DHCP, and they reside in various areas of a campus and are on seperate subnets. I don't currently have enough info, I'm afraid, to create a logical assessment. I should have more info later. Your assessment of the wall processor and clients is correct. I usually see these cameras coming back through a VMS, PSIM or Lenel, so I'm just a little baffled for the moment.
** clarification: I don't want to control the cameras, just decode the streams off the various subnets.

Based upon the info at hand, If the processor's NIC that lives in the LAN can communicate with all of the cameras individually, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do what you need to do, aside from a firewall being in the way.
