Multi screen set up

Lets say i want 2 or even 3 external screens link to my laptop ... How am i supposed to link all this in terms of wires/ conections ?

Depends which model you have. Newer Macbook Pros have HDMI outputs as well as thunderbolt outputs. You can use those plus thunderbolt daisychains. Additionally you can get a thunderbolt hub that has multiple video outputs to allow the use multiple monitors. Like LowLuster said just google it.

Multi Screen Set-up with laptop shut

I have 2 Acer 20" LED monitors and I want to have these 2 monitors be my primary and secondary monitors with my laptop closed.
Is there a program that I can use to make this happen?
Is there any sort of apple dock or third party adapter I can purchase to accomplish this?

Hi Jon,

Speed issue when getting bounds of single monitor in multi-screen display

I've written the following code which should get the bounds of the first monitor in a n-view (multi-screen) set up so I can size JFrame objects relative to the dimensions of this first monitor. However, this bit of code seems to slow done my constructor by a significant amount of time (ie my program now takes 5 seconds to load as opposed to loading almost instaneously). Is there anything I can do to get this information more quickly? And why does this code take so long to execute?
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
GraphicsDevice[] gs = ge.getScreenDevices();
GraphicsDevice gd = gs[0];
GraphicsConfiguration[] gc = gd.getConfigurations();
Rectangle virtualBounds = new Rectangle(gc[0].getBounds());      Thanks in advance,
-jake

I was curious (having never delt with this stuff before about your problem so I put your code into a simple frame and ran it. Sure enough it took on average 2.7s to determine the bounds information and less than a tenth of a secondto setup the GUI. So I added code to print out the timmings of each call in your code and found that almost all of it was in "gd.getConfigurations()". This method says it returns all of the GraphicsConfiguration objects for the device. That could be a lot of objects (on my system it returns 8).
When I switched to calling getDefaultConfiguration I get the same answer and it comes back in 0 milliseconds making the GUI setup the slowest part:-)
I am not sure if getDefaultConfiguration is what you want. It is unclear to me that the first element in the configurations array represents the current mode of the device and it is unclear if the detault is the current mode either. I guess you can experiment and see if the default is the configuration you want or not.
good luck,
IL
I attached my code so you can see what I did:/*

True Multi screen editing

Coming from a FCP background, and I see this in FCP and in AVID, but I can't seem to do it in premiere, though I really want to.
I want a multi monitor set up where the first monitor has my timeline, source window, and project window, then my second monitor has my bins & effects & metadata, then the third will be a full screen of the project window that is still on my first monitor, and then finally a fourth, 65" 4k tv also displaying the project window (mirroring the third monitor).
Dragging the project window around and toggling in and out of fullscreen is a waist of time since there was no need to do that with FCP for so many years. I need 3 project windows in premiere (and I dont mean using the reference) , how do I do this with premiere?

You can arrange the windows as you want them on the first two monitors, then via splitter, hook up the third and fourth monitors to an I/O device, something like the T-Tap from AJA.

Interface FCPX multi-screen

Hi !
Sorry for my english, i'm french...
But i would like to know, if i can separate the different part of the interface instead of the two options available when i have a second monitor...
If we can't, does Apple make an upgrade ? Because i think the interface is too fixed... same as in final cut pro 7 we want to arange the different window wherever we want ...
Thanks

this is a user2user board - Apple employees don't participate and wouldn't comment on future products.
extrapolating the past, Apple never orientated to competitors, plus all 'latest' products offer single-window-interface.
so I dare to see no tendency, why Apple should row back to multi-windows as in FC/p7 etc.
plus, have you tried Ian's advice? you can arrange your working space in many varieties.
best, imho, is a 2nd monitor for 'full screen preview' and 'the rest' arranged for my needs, e.g. I blend out all those Project- and Effect-Preview, plain storyline, Events.
when apllying 'effects', screen set-up differs, Info and the Effect-preview in use ...
depends on your workflow ............

Dreamweaver Multi-Screen SNAFU

I'm trying to set up mobile multi-device features in Dreamweaver.
I have a separate mobile.html file that I want to launch from the main.html when a mobile screen size is detected.
I am not trying to apply a new .css to the existing code, but launch a separate mobile html file with different images & content.
I have been unable to figure out a way to do this , can anyone reccomed a fix?
Dan

HI
The multi-screen preview was removed because it was no longer required.
If you look at the bottom right-hand corner of the document window you will see three icons, (phone/tabled/desktop) selecting on of these changes live view to display these screens. You can also select various common pre-defined screen sizes, (or create your own) by selecting from the screen size menu that is next to these three icons.

Multi-screen development iPhone 4, iPad?

I am curious about multi-screen development. This one of the main selling features of Dreamweaver CS5. With the introduction of iPhone 4 and iPad with higher screen resolutions, what is the best way to target screens? The default set-up for multi-screen in Dreamweaver does not work for these devices? Is their a discussion ongoing about this or best practices?
Dave

Much depends on your desktop layout and how much customizing you need to make it perform well on iDevices. From the hour of testing I did recently on iPad, all my desktop sites display just fine without a special stylesheet.
iPhone and iTouch are smaller so some changes are helpful but not mandatory.
See the device dependant page I've worked up below. View in any browser except IE, resize the browser viewport to less than 480px and you'll see the mobile styles kick in.

Multi Screen Authoring

How do i find the tablet.css, ipad.css and desktop.css files? I am trying to make my website user friendly for all phones and ipads but cant seem to find the correct files?
Are they files i have to create myself or are they already on my computer somewhere? Also i have watched all of the videos on how to do the multi screen authoring however none of them explain where or how to create the relevant (.css) files?
I am new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Declan

Sorry but there's no magic button that can convert your current site's CSS into a responsive one. Start over with a FluidGrid Layout or begin with one of the very popular Responsive Design Frameworks shown below. When you have a layout you like, copy & paste your old site's content into the new one.

MSN Messenger uses wrong inbuilt webcam for video chat on triple screen set up. It uses a cinema display webcam not the iMac webcam.

For some strange reason if i attach my 2 apple cinema displays to my iMac to make a triple screen set up msn messenger video chat does work but it uses the apple cinema display inbuilt webcam and not the iMac webcam. Its annoying as i have to turn sideways to get into the video call view.
So i have a set up like this: an apple cinema display thunderbolt, then in the middle an iMac new then to the right of the iMac another apple thunderbolt cinema display. WWhen i use MSN messenger to make a video call it uses the inbuilt webcam on the far right apple thunderbolt cinema display and not the inbuilt webcam in the iMac in front of me, its annoying any ideas please.
If i unplug both side cinema displays MSN messenger uses the inbuilt camera on the iMac like normal but when i use extra screens it uses the webcam built into those and not the iMacs webcam.

I would try with another client like skype or something
and if it's only msn messanger which have the problem it may
be more of a question for ms's forum?

HT6150 Did the recent Mavericks update and now I am getting the screen "Setting Up Your Mac" It has been this way for an hour...and nothing is going on.

AS soon as I log in I get this screen "Setting Up Your Mac..."
It has been on the computer for quite a while and I can not get back to my desktop.
Please help. thanks!

Here was the answer I found that worked:
Command-Shift-Option-Esc (hold for three seconds) for Force Quit the front-most application (Mac OS X v10.5 or later)
That got to me a new page where I had to enter my security key chain ID, but then wouldn't go any further. So i have rebooted - and lo and behold it opened up OK. It has asked me for a security question, but it now seems to be working OK!! Thanks - hope you get your problem sorted also. I should have copied the name and did not...sorrry.

How do you shoot and record videos on iSight? Also, how to do multi screen?

I've never tried using the camera. Just didn't have a need for it, but I'm gonna start making videos. How do I do this? I'm stupid=(

For one thing, please post ONE question per thread.
In answer to your question, the iSight wasn't really built for shooting video (it's low resolution and the built-in ones are fixed-distance, so they won't work well for anything more than a few feet away. Nevertheless, you can use something like iVeZeen by Boinx Software to acquire video from the iSight.
As to your second question, what do you mean multi-screen? Multi-screen what?

Multi-Dimensional Sets in a hierarchy

Hi
I'm trying to create a set hierarchy which contains multi-dimensional sets. When adding the multi-dimensional set as a sub-ordinate in the hierarchy I receive the error <Set Name> invalid characteristic for Input Field HKONT.
The requirement is that on a report in BI we need to limit rows on a report to specific GL accounts and then specific transaction types (BEWAR) within those GL accounts. We have around 20 reports that have the same format but the GL accounts and Transaction Types on each row are different - hence we wanted to use sets to maintain the GL accounts and transaction types for each row.
So I've created several sets which are single sets and it all works fine. But when I create a multidimensional set (with Account and Transaction Type) it works fine. But when I attempt to add that as a subordinate set (ie to create the row in the report hierarchy) I get this message.
The Set that contains the rows can't be a multidimensional set as I can't add multi-dimensional sets to multi-dimensional sets.
Anyone come across this or know of a way around it ? or perhaps a different approach.
Thanks

Hi
I guess the problem is because, in a multi dimensional set, you have more than one char i.e. HKONT and BEWAR... In your report row, have you included both of these chars or just one?
Try to include both the chars and then use a multi dimensional set in the row...
The idea of multi dimensional set is that no char in it should repeat... When you are adding this multi set to a BASIC SET or SINGLE SET, you are bound to get this error in GS01

Stored Procedure in Universe - Multi-result set

I have been trying to get more information on stored procedures as a source for universes. Business Objects designer 3.1 documentation says the following
Stored procedures with multi-result set
Example: A stored procedure that returns more than one result set. At design
time, several tables are created in the universe structure based on the same
stored procedure.
Does this mean?
1. These result sets are shown as multiple tables in designer?
2. if so, can these result sets be used as regular tables in designer to build joins and contexts.
I searched the forum for relevant threads before posting but could not find any. I tried posting this thread earlier - internet connection timed out. Please forgive me if this is a duplicate post.
Thanks

DROP TABLE #DescendantsMS SQL Server - right?
Then don't drop the table.
From the MS docs for "create table"
Local temporary tables are visible only in the current session;
A local temporary table created in a stored procedure is dropped automatically when the stored procedure completes. The table can be referenced by any nested stored procedures executed by the stored procedure that created the table. The table cannot be referenced by the process which called the stored procedure that created the table.

Key Press to Play Video, in multi-screen project

I have a timeline with multiple videos in it, all loaded as external videos with playback controls as the audio is important (all are 55 seconds long and high quality audio is vital). First of all I want a specific key pressed to play one of the videos. I've been playing around with event handlers, key press event, but nothing has worked.
This is a multi screen project I'm working on so is there any way to have two seperate windows of video 1080x1920 (that would play on two seperate screens to interact with eachother) or would I have to create a stage twice the width. I need two video clips to play simultaniously once a key is pressed.
I am a real beginner to flash so I really have no idea whether this is possible.
I'm doing this on Flash CS6 on a Mac in IOS 10.9.2
Thanks!

i'm not sure what you're trying to do with multiple screens but that should have no impact on using key listeners to control your timeline:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,f):
function f(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
trace(e.keyCode);

Mixer window won't stay put w multiple monitors/screen sets

so i have 4 monitors, 3 of which are together and 1 off in another area for other stuff. this is done w 2 standard apple video (Nvivia GT120) cards and a few monitors. the middle one has a higher res than the others but not so much to need the dual dvi.
i want to display the mixer window across all 3 of my main monitors for a full overview in that particular screenset.
the PROBLEM here is that as soon as i switch to another screenset or even select that same screen set while viewing it, the mixer window snaps to allignment w the center monitor so that the left monitor has nothing on it and the right half of the mixer window has fallen off the right screen.
it works just fine when i only spread the mixer across two monitors. but even then sometimes it alligns to the center monitor after while.
is there some setting im missing here?
thanks!

Awe crap! Sorry for the repost. I was looking at the recent activity screen n didn't see my post from earlier today so I thought it didn't get posted. My bad. Apple forum newbie mistake.
But still.. What gives?
