Dual display presentation?

Is there a way to display a keynote presentation on a projector and iPad at the same time?
When I lecture the screen is behind me, and instead of turning around to look at the screen after each transition, I would much rather look down at my iPad. Same goes with author notes and the like.
In other words, can the iPad act as the presenter's screen one sees on a laptop?

At the moment it seems not to do it. After numerous posts yesterday about Keynote for iPad, I think there is quite lot of work to be done on using iPad for presentations, especially if they are imported from Powerpoint or Keynote 09.
It looks like the idea tool for the job, but alas it doesn't seem to do an adequate job yet. Maybe Apple will allow iWorks 09 on the iPad soon, that would solve a lot of issues for enterprise users. Alternatively, you might just have to use PowerPoint on a HP Slate or Nokia tablet later in the year for all your educational support and presentations.
Give Apple time, they may see a way of making money out of this and then it will get fixed. They can't be expected to see every possible use for this tool.

Video iChat for Full Screen presentation in dual-display mode

I plan on giving a presentation and want to use video iChat with a special effects background projected using dual display mode. I find that if I use video preview in iChat, that I can't enter full screen mode (this would look best when projected). It seems you can only enter full screen if connected to a buddy in iChat, which I don't want for the presentation.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this, or maximize the appearance?
Thanks.

Hi,
You want the Flipped pic that iChat gives you but using the Preview only as you do not require an actual chat to make a Presentation.
Ideally you would like that to be Full Screen but the Preview only does not do full screen.
Adding a second Screen in the form a Projector and mirroring is possible.
This of course would allow you present a "Live Feed" as it were.
Do you gave Quicktime Pro ?
This allows you to set a window to Full Screen even if not actually recording, but shows what the camera sees. (albeit not Flipped like iChat although iGasses can fix that.
I would also look at some of the options on this page

Hyperlinks in Dual Display mode, Keynote '09.

This problem has been well reported in this forum,but I cannot find an answer.
I have created a series of Keynote '09 presentations and I have installed hyperlinks on the last slide of each one to open, on clicking, the subsequent presentation.
Trouble is in Dual Display (not mirrored) mode using a projector as Secondary Display and a MacBook as Primary Display (with next slide, presenter notes, timers, and other items that only I, as presenter, can see. Then I cannot activate the hyperlinks; in fact the icon of small blue circle and white arrow is not showing in this mode and the pointer does not change to finger.
However if I press X or use "Swap" from drop-down menu I can see the view of slide that the audience normally sees and the hyperlink is shown and active. I click on it and once the subsequent Keynote opens, I can press X again and return to Presenter View on MB, but this is messy and the audience gets to see the "workings". Not a good look.
Interestingly, the same disappearance of hyperlinks also occurs if I use Rehearse Slideshow, but not if I use Play Slideshow when MB is not hooked to external display. This seems to suggest thst these hyperlinks are not there in "Presenter" view.

I found I had the same problem at my let presentation: Hyperlinks do not work in dual display using the MacBook at primary display. I gave up and put the presentation on my iPad and everything worked fine. Think I will just mirror the display of my MacBook so I can use the hyperlinks.

Dual Displays (Fooling Keynote)

I read something online and I can't find it anymore. What I'm looking for is how to "fool" my Powerbook and Keynote into thinking I have dual displays so I can test out my presentation's presenter options.
I know it had something to do with attaching the dongle, changing the System Preferences and Keynote Preferences. I also remember that things had to be done in a specific order. I have tried a few combinations, but none of them work. I've also searched the web with not luck.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
I'll be presenting Monday morning at a convention from my laptop with a projector that will be set up in my classroom. Unfortunately, I won't be able to practice until 1 hour before my presentation.
Thanks!

Powermac G5 & Powerbook 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to the forums, renee.
Do you have Keynote 3? If so, simply go to the View menu and choose "Rehearse Slideshow". That view will let you see the show as if you are viewing the Presenter Display.

IMac G5 (iSight) wont do dual display? Are you kidding me!

Why in the world did Apple even make a computer that won't do dual display. This is probably one of the first let downs I have experienced with Apple. I just purchased the iMac G5 to use primarily for presentation and need dual screen capabilities. I should be more clear on the specs page that the "all new" iMac DOES NOT DO DUAL DISPLAY. I am thinking of returning the iMac and going another direction (pc) and don't want to, but may not have a choice, unless someone has a fix for my problem.

I understand the risks of hacker-ware, and certainly don't want to void my warranty. But this begs the question: If a hacker can figure out something that usually works, can't Apple fairly easily come up with an official iMac G5 expansion that will always work and that won't void the warranty? Please, Cupertino, Please! I've subscribed to this topic string in hopes of hearing a happy ending.

Acroread full screen problem - dual display on Linux machine

Hi:
I am running Linux Fedora core 15 on an HP laptop that I use for presentations. I have dual displays set up and run my presentation software (opera and acroreader) in the external monitor in full screen mode. This works fine for opera, but when I try to use acroreader, it only appears on the laptop's built in monitor when in full screen mode. Any suggestions on how to get it on the external display?
Thanks.

When you normally play iTunes on a secondary monitor (23" Cinema on the side) and then disconnect to go mobile, there's a problem - can't get video window to show up anywhere without changing preferences to have video display in iTunes window or art window. Disabling spaces, checking display, "detect displays", nothing else works.

Bridge and dual displays

I have been searching the web for a while now to find a way to show the usual Bridge window on one display and a preview - just a preview... no menu bar or other embellishments - on the other display in a dual display setup.
Apple's Aperture does it but I can't find a way to do it with Bridge, nor does it appear that Lightroom will do it.
I think this is a significant setback... being able to do this would be great for editing so you could see the image preview with no distractions and as big as possible. More to the point it would be good for presentations so the presenter can see all the folder structure, favourites, thumbnails etc but the audience only sees the intended image on a clean black (yes black... not the image backdrop colour) background.
I have found a way to cheat this, by extending the Bridge window over both displays and positioning all the favourites, folders, thumbnails panels etc on the extreme right side but you still see the menu bar and other bits and bobs at the window edges and the background colour is grey, not black (unless you set the image backdrop to black, which I think is a bit harsh for viewing thumbnails).
If you want to see what I mean, go to http://www.2020graphics.com.au/dual_displays.html
If anyone has any ideas on how to do this, or any Adobe engineers are reading this... help!!!

>Select an image in Bridge. Then hit the space bar on your keyboard.
 
 This is what you get:

Full Screen Preview Space
 nothing but your image on the main monitor, your secondary monitor totally blacked out.
 
 You can use the arrow keys to navigate through the images in the folder. Use the escape key to go back to regular view.

SX20 Dual displays- How to mirror

Hi,
I have several SX 20s with dual display licenses and 2 displays installed.
I want both displays to show the same thing with both video and presentation shown on each display.
I've tried setting the same role on both monitors with no luck.

Hi,
I tired the settings you suggest with no luck. I'm running 7.3.2
When not in a call I see video and content on monitor 1 and a clock and booking info on monitor 2
When in a call I see content and video on monitor 1 and a black screen on monitor 2.
Thanks,
David

Cisco Profile 52/55 Dual - displays video on only one screen after software upgrade 7.1.4

Hi,
I've upgraded the Profile 52/55 Dual system to TC 7.1.4 and it no longer shows video on both screens during a conference. It displays content on the second screen fine. It worked in version 6 so I wonder if something changed in the software or the endpoint requires some additional configuration.
I've checked settings under Configuration > System Configuration > Video > Monitors and it's set to Dual. I've changed it few times and set it back to Dual but this didn't resolve the issue. I can't see any dual screen option key added under system information but I assume it has a dual screen option hence it's a dual screen system.
Do I need to change any settings?

Hi Patrick
Thank you very much for your response.
The system doesn’t have a remote control as such, it’s an MX700 so it has the 10inch touch panel, I had some engineers onsite attempting to bring the self-view image up using the panel but the only image that they managed to retrieve was a self-view PIP on the main image.
If I change the self-view settings in the configuration nothing appears to happen on the codec, the second monitor will only display the presentation, it’s as if the system is stuck in dual screen presentation only, even though when I set the system to dual screen, flick it back to single screen, set it to dual screen, back to the same situation no image unless there is a presentation being sent.
I have ensured that these settings are forced on the system
xconfig Video Monitors: Dual
xconfig Video CamCtrlPip CallSetup Mode: Off
xconfig Video SelfviewDefault Mode: Off
xconfig Video SelfviewDefault OnMonitorRole: Second
xconfig Video SelfviewDefault FullscreenMode: On
But no matter what I do I am unable to get the behaviour that I expect, this is why I have posted on this forum, I seem to think that the problem may be related to a software bug, however I am unable to downgrade as that would stop the control panel from working (this system doesn’t have a remote), and I see no mention of a second monitor issue reading the release notes, I have checked the online bugs and cannot find anything there either. so I am wondering if someone in Cisco has any idea as to what is happening here.
I thought about trying to use TC console to see if I could force a layout via this tool / or at least see what layouts are on the system, however the TC console version 6 will not connect to this system (I think this is more firewall related than system, as standard telnet and ssh attempts fail also).
Again I appreciate any and all assistance provided greatly, I am completely baffled as to what is happening here.
Cheers

Wacom tablet on dual display dual card setup...

...and the cards are as follows, one Geforce GTX 460 (nvidia driver), one Radeon x1650 (radeon driver) As such, I have to use Xinerama and not RandR for my dual display setup. I have configured the driver to use my main display (Dell CRT on GTX 460) and the cursor shows up where it's supposed to, but when I draw, the cursor "splits" into two, the actual cursor, and the drawing cursor. The regular cursor moves as if it's on my main display, but the drawing cursor spans both desktops.
I've tried all kinds of things to make it work, no luck though.
xsetwacom set "Wacom Graphire4 6x8 stylus" Area 0 0 30408 12064
xsetwacom get "Wacom Graphire4 6x8 stylus" MapToOutput HEAD-0
Both of those commands produce the same result, which is shown in the video below.
xorg.conf
http://pastebin.com/d0TSwNrR
And a lovely video showing what I mean.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMGGehD81jM
Any help would be lovely.

MisterAnderson wrote:Honestly no clue how to help you, but I am interested in your setup. Are you using the proprietary drivers for your nvidia card and the opensource radeon for your ati? How did you get this setup working? I've been trying for ages!
If I remember correctly, I just used --nodeps and maybe --force when installing the nvidia driver, that way it didn't force me to uninstall the radeon driver when I install the nvidia driver. Then, look at my xorg.conf. there's no acceleration of any sort on the ati card, but I can use it for terminals and browser windows, text editors and the like. Can't watch flash videos on it though, and I don't think mplayer works on it either, I'm not at my arch box atm, so I can't verify that.
Also, as mentioned in my opening post, no composting either. The same setup works pretty good in Ubuntu with a similar config, but no compositing there either, Unity clones 1680x1050 of my main 2048x1536 display, can't split the desktops, and I just end up using Xfce4 because it handles Xinerma pretty well.. I have to turn off the compositing extension in the config on arch to get X to even start up.
:edit:
back in arch, should note that whenever I install a new package, I receive this warning. Everything still works tghough as I describes. And back on topic, anyone have any clue as to why my tablet behaves this way?

I am going to connect the screens in the following way:
1x mini-dvi - HDMI to one screen.
1x HDMI - HDMI to the other screen.

According to the copy&paste from wikipedia, HDMI should support higher resolution than 1920x1200. So the question is, does it aupport that on the mid 2011 mac mini. It says in the specifications
"Mac mini is designed to work with HDMI devices that comply with versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2a, 1.3, 1.3a, and 1.4 of the HDMI specification."
That should mean it should be able to support it, but I don't know : <

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?
I want to have my itunes visualizer on my TV which is connected via HDMI adapter, and still have access to full screen itunes and my desktop on the main display.
Any suggestions? App downloads that can do this? Please let me know.

You can't do it. This has been an issue since Lion.

Dual display color and other related issues...

I have posted this on painter forums, though some of the issues coming together here are directly related to issues w/ Snow Leopard and dual displays. Thought I would try here....
This is so bizarre. When I ever I run P11(I think this is going on in P10 too?) w/ the OS X (snow leopard, 10.6.2 on quad core Intel Xeon Mac Pro, 10 GB of RAM) menu bar on my Eizo(making it the main display), and the Apple Cinema display left as the #2 monitor, I get very annoying brush cursor artifcats left randomly on the Eizo screen after strokes. One cannot predict when the cursor will leave it's gray "marks", but it will do it, sometimes 5 strokes in a row, sometimes after 15 strokes or so? If I move my brush back over them, or change the image percantage view, they vanish, obviously new ones coming back, as I work.
However I put the OS menu bar on the AC display, yet work back on the Eizo, this does NOT happen. No cursor artifacts. Well, at least I can summon the issue
The reason I am doing this is Snow Leopard has bad color issues w/ dual displays (well documented, much to Photoshop CS4 users frustrations, and mine). Apple needs to fix it... but for me to see the right color on the Eizo(this is my main color and superior display), it needs to be the main monitor(menu bar) in 10.6.2.
So, you can see my trap - Accurate color, or annoying cursor artifacts left on the screen (sorry, it really bugs me as I work) as I work in Painter.
Attempted fixes: Trashed all of Painter's prefs, all of Wacom's Intuos 4(latest driver) prefs and software, switched plug ins on the back of the mac for the displays(lots of restarts), ran cache cleaning Cocktail and DiskWarrior, etc. -- no change, as I can duplicate the issue w/ the above set up. A sidebar or maybe be very related note: I have an iMac w/ max amount of ram (model not very old -- maybe 1 or 2 old) and I have had a long standing issue working on the iMacs we have had w/ this brush cursor artifact problem (in Leopard and Snow Leopard). I am on one monitor w/ the iMac, so you know here the menu bar is...hmmmmmmmm.....?
Thanks!, T

Possible to do dual display with a mini?

I have an early 2008 Mac mini (Intel) - with the standard DVI connector; using the supplied DVI/VGA adapter to connect to an LCD monitor.
I'm just wondering if it is possible to use two displays with this model and if so, how do I connect the second monitor?

Several ways of doing it in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8335705&#8335705
If you want to go the usb route, see also:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VIDU2DVIA/
Be sure to examine the limitations of each method.
(I'd also consider that your 2008 Mini likely has substantial resale value and that you might prefer getting a 2009 Mini which natively supports dual displays.)
