Dual Monitors - Adding Monitor to HP Pavilion p7-1287c

HP Pavilion p7-1287c desktop. Trying to add 2nd monitor. Got: 8gb ddr3, Intell HD graphics, 1 tb hard drive, Windows 7 64-bit. Bought a PNY GeForce 210 graphics card. Installed card without drivers installed and both monitors screens black. Removed card, and tried to install drivers via CD and website, and they both say card not installed. Also, without card, installing driver via CD, incompatible with current drivers message results. Radio Shack cable splicer worked but I didn't care for the low resolution.
Thought it was simple to add and wanted to avoid paying a geek to do this, but after 4 trips to Best Buy, 1 to Radio Shack, still no solution. Getting somewhat educated, still determined and hopeful.

Hi:
Did you try hooking up both monitors, one to the DVD-I port and the other to the VGA port on the back of your PC?
Sometimes that works.
Does the BIOS in your PC have a setting where you have to enable the PCIe video adapter?
On all of my HP business desktops, adding a video card automatically disables the onboard graphics but on some consumer models, you need to actually enable the PCIe video adapter with a setting.

Connect 2 monitors to HP Desktop (HP Pavilion 500-130d)

I would like to connect 2 monitors to this desktop (HP Pavilion 500-130d), 1 via DVI and 1 via VGA
Is this possible?
thanks!

Hi,
Cables made by different manufacturers may deliver different results but the shorter cables say under 15" should produce the same quality signals. HDMI has different specifications for the different version levels.
I have yet to see any difference in picture quality between DVI-D and HDMI with a resolution of 1920 by 1080. If the color depth is greater than 24 bits using DVI then need to use DVI dual link to keep up with HDMI.

I have 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II. How do I connect? 4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI. 5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute?

I just bought a 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II. How do I connect? 4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI. 5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute any work at all? I read where on a PC they would work together, but on a MAC they do not.
I read that Display Port has higher band width than DVI, NEC monitors for best performance they recommend using DIsplay Port.
When I was setting this up I looked at a Nvidia Quadro 4000, unfortunately it was for PC, it had 2 Display Ports, in the Mac version they reduce it to one. I did not think there could be a difference.
Mainly want to use it for CS6 and LR4.
How to proceed???
I do not want to use the Quadro 4000 for both, that would not optimize both monitors, one DP and 1 DVI. Using just the 5770 would work but I do not think the 4000 would be doing anything, and the 5770 has been replaced by the 5870.more bandwidth.
Any ideas, I am a Mac newbie, have not ever tried a Mac Pro, just bought off ebay and now I have these problems.
As a last resort I could sell both and get a 5870. That would work, I'm sure of that, it's just that I wanted the better graphics card.
Thanks,
Bill

The Hatter,
I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can. From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance. The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs. Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
You said I have the 4000 for CUDA. I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it.
A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000. Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected? I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are. I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4. Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

PB G4 as added monitor

I just purchased a new iMac 20" and would like to also use my previous PGB4 as an added monitor, for applications other than graphics ones. I have no idea how to do that, any chance I could get some advice?
I also use a Wacom Intuos3 graphic tablet, is there anything I should do in regards to that?
Here are my iMac specs.
Thanks for the help!

Hello,
That is the only way:
Holy Grail
I would recommend using an IP over Firewire network as this is probably the fastest network you can establish between the Macs and should give the best performance.

Dual Samsung 2343bwx Monitors with Mac Mini

I am looking to purchase the new Mac Mini Server for my lab, but have a question. I currently have dual Samsung 2343bwx monitors attached to a Windows 2008 server (please no snickers, I am replacing it with a Mac!) using UltraMon to span the desktop across both monitors. My question is can the Mini support both monitors at 2048 x 1152, and give me the same functionality I have now?
If it does support it can you tell me what connectors your are using?

Should work ok. The 2048x1152 16:9 aspect ratio on the 2343BWX is only slightly more pixels than 1920x1200.
See this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9855163&#9855163
And spanning shouldn't be a problem, either.

NativeWindow for each Monitor (Multiple Monitors playing same content)

Requirement
Display same media (movie/images) content (only once instance) in all attached Monitors
Problem
I am creating two NativeWindow class instances for each monitor (2 monitors available). After I have added the movie content to each NativeWindow, I use a third-party ScreenManager class to say "Send this Native Window to Screen 1 and so on". And then finally I call startMovie method on my movie class. Unfortunately, the movie only starts in the second NativeWindow the first NativeWindow displays a blank White screen.
Code
var nw : NativeWindow = new NativeWindow(new NativeWindowInitOptions());
var nw2 : NativeWindow = new NativeWindow(new NativeWindowInitOptions());
var movieClip : MovieClips = new MovieClips();
nw.stage.addChild(movieClip);
nw2.stage.addChild(movieClip);
// ScreenManager is a third-party class available here: http://code.google.com/p/airscreenmanageras3
ScreenManager.openWindowFullScreenOn(nw, 1); // 1 means Monitor 1
ScreenManager.openWindowFullScreenOn(nw2, 2);
movieClip.startMovie();
Result of above Code
nw is blank white screen. nw2 successfully plays the movie content.
Second experiment
If I create a brand new instance of movieClip let's say movieClip2 and then add it to nw2 (instead of adding the same movieClip instance added to nw). Both the Native Windows successfully plays movies. But again this is not what I want. I only want one instance of my movie and play it in all available monitors.
Environment
Adobe Air 2.5, ActionScript 3.0, Eclipse FDT plug-in

That's just the way the display list operates. If you add a display object to a new container it is automatically removed from the old one.
Possibly you could render each frame to a BitmapData object and use that object as the source for two different Bitmap objects.

CCMS Alert Monitor (edit monitor-configuration.xml. ?)

Hi Friends
I'm trying to change the default polling time for the CCMS Alert Monitor, 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
In http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/e5/5d1741b393f26fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm you can read:
Accuracy
The default polling period for the monitor is 30 minutes. If you want to have shorter polling periods, you can change them in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator as follows:
1. Choose Availability and Performance Management ® Resource Monitoring ® Java System Reports (alias: /nwa/java-sys-reports).
2. Select an arbitrary Number of errors entry in the monitoring tree of the Adapter Engine (leaf node).
3. Choose Configuration in the right-hand pane.
4. Choose Edit in the dialog box that appears.
5. Change the polling period to 5 minutes, for instance.
6. Choose Save and wait until saving is finished (be patient, since this may take a while).
7. Choose Configuration Management ® Infrastructure Management ® Java Configuration Browser.
8. Choose apps ® sap.com ® com.sap.aii.af.app ® Monitoring Configurator ® monitor-configuration.xml.
9. In the xml file, change the polled-by-template period to the same value as above, for example, 5 minutes.
10. Save the modified xml file.
11. Choose Operations Management ® Infrastructure Management ® Start & Stop ® Java EE Services to restart the Monitoring service to apply the changes.
But in step 9, the xml file I've found in my PI 7.1 (SP6) is this:
<monitor-configuration>
<monitor-semantics />
<monitor-tree />
</monitor-configuration>
Also, there is no way to modify that file, you can only display it or download it.
can anyone tell me how to edit the file.
regards
raja

Hi Raja,
This is the same as doing the following:
You can locate the monitor-configuration.xml file in the SDA com.sap.aii.af.app.sda (inside META-INF folder). You can find this SDA in the install directory of PI installation. In this XML file please locate and edit the following tag:
<template-info template-name="SAP_XIJ2EE_RCRDS">
                        <polled-by-template period="30" unit="MINUTE">
                            <generating-resource
                                name="com.sap.aii.utilxi.rtcheck.mx.standard.XIJ2EEComponentMBean" type="APPLICATION"/>
                            <template-attribute-mapping>
                                <invoked-resource-method name="getMonitoringRecords"/>
                            </template-attribute-mapping>
                        </polled-by-template>
                    </template-info>
Change the above to the following *************
<template-info template-name="SAP_XIJ2EE_RCRDS">
                        <polled-by-template period="5" unit="MINUTE">
                            <generating-resource
                                name="com.sap.aii.utilxi.rtcheck.mx.standard.XIJ2EEComponentMBean" type="APPLICATION"/>
                            <template-attribute-mapping>
                                <invoked-resource-method name="getMonitoringRecords"/>
                            </template-attribute-mapping>
                        </polled-by-template>
                    </template-info>
The main change is the polled-by-template value from 30 mins to 5 mins as per your req ******
Construct back the SDA (you can search SDN for that) with this edited XML and then redeploy this SDA with the help of JSPM tool.
This will re-start the PI Server for the changes to come into effect.
I hope this helps.
PS: You can consult your BASIS consultant to locate this sda and re-deploy it on PI Server.

CS4 Premiere Pro Clips Won't Play in Source Monitor/Program Monitor

I can't get clips to play in source monitor/program monitor/preview pane in Pr Pro. I have spent hours looking through the forums to try and find a fix and I have troubleshot the following.....
1. Codecs are not broken... or seem to be working according to Sherlock
2. Video and audio drivers up to date
3. Unistalled and re-install Pr Pro then updated via updater
Here is the funny thing...
In Encore, OnLocation, and other Suite program the play functionality works just fine....the only one it doesn't is Pr Pro.
Question:
Is the source code to playback video in Pr different then the other suite programs or am I just making a trivial mistake in Pr?
Sorry for the novice question but I am about to give up and have no where to turn.
Hardware Specs
CPU 3.6 GHz
HD 1TB 7200 RPM

Number of issues here:
1. Your system does not meet minimum requirements.
2. Your CPU, disks, memory are not enough for anything other than DV.
3. What video camera was used with what codec on what OS with which version of PR. etc.
Some suggestions... and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

"8 Transport Monitor Transport Monitor Hot SyncLib.PPC " Huh ??

Hi
I had a problem logging in to my PowerBook. It may have been related to my wife's Palm or the iPod I just got(my first).
Either way I was able to log in after doing an "Install and Archive" but I received this message;
The application Transport Monitor could not be launched because of a shared library error
"8<Transport Monitor><Transport Monitor><Hot SyncLib.PPC>"
........any suggestions or ideas as what this is about?

Hi
This is, indeed, Palm Desktop/Hotsync software. It stores files in your system's Library folder, so after an Archive and Install, it will malfunction in the way you've seen.
You should completely uninstall (see instructions), and then reinstall, Palm Desktop. Reinstall it from your Palm's installation CD if you still have it, but if not, you can find the software online.

Got the "apple firewire ntsc" choice to show up even if grayed out and "missing" under "audio/visual" menus by recreating choices in Easy Setup under "final cut pro" MENU thank GOODNESS because I was reading horror stories on here about this under another thread with someone trashing preferences, reinstalling and the works and still not getting it to show up...on my search now for an analog/digital converter up at b&h...find it odd that the s video connector wouldn't show the crt monitor when I put both displays through the 3870...I switched it back to see if it worked again when only the one dell monitor display was there and there it is again mirroring the screen display on my desktop...just can't be seen as an "external monitor" in fcp...couldn't find anything specific in the shane ross threads to this. I'm sad the program doesn't just see the s video connection though the 3870 though my computer does fine and will query up at b&h in regard to what might be affordable as far as a digital/analog converter. It's also weird in itself that when I put the two dell monitors on the one card my computer no longer could see the s video crt connection...makes no sense. Will report in later as to what I discover up at b&h as I'm sure there's a world of people out there using this sony crt monitor still even into the upgrades with computers and software so I imagine therein lies the solution. Thanks again and I'll report in as to what hardware might be suggested for me.

Dual Display, 2 Monitors - Extended Desktop

Hello Everyone:
There isn't a clear cut answer or solution in connected a Macbook Air to 2 external monitors in an attempt to create an extended desktop. I have read older posts that it's either doable or not doable. My questions are the following:
-Is it possible to connect a new Macbook Air to 2 external monitors for extended desktop purposes?
-Some users have reported lag issues (mouse dragging , delays, etc.). Will this happen for sure with a Macbook Air or is it a monitor issue?
-What's the best non-Apple monitor brand that would work best with a Macbook Air for dual display purposes? I've read that Dells have a problem in this regard.
-What would be the advantage or disadvantage of using a dock station in setting up a dual display environment? Would this add to the lag, latency factor?
I'm thinking of investing in a new Macbook Air, but I want to make sure I dont end up with silly issues - such as latency, monitors, etc.
Thank you for all your help and advise.
Best,
G.

Yes, extended desktop works with monitors set to differant resoultions. the Monitors pref pane allows you to select relative arrangements and rez of all monitors composing the extended desktop.
personally I run a dell CRT at 2304 X 1728 @ 60Hz along with an NEC 6FG a 2048 X 1280 @ 60Hz off a radeon 9800pro on an MDD.

T420 can't use dual DVI connected monitors

I have a T420 connected to The ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 - 90W (433810U* - United States), DVI port 1 connected to monitor and VGA connected to second monitor using extended desktop. This configuration works fine but when I hook up both DVI ports to my monitors only one of the screens work and in the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel only shows one monitor. I have 2 different cables 1 DVI-D dual-link and 1 DVI-D single link, the dual-link works with the VGA setup but with the 2 DVI connections only the monitor with the single link cable works.
Any ideas?
Thanks

So it looks to me like both displays are being detected. The geometry looks such that one display is on top of the other, but I can change that using an xorg.conf.d config file (e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … xorg.conf). I also tried using arandr.
The real problem is that the display on HDMI3 just isn't "waking up". The power is on, but it just sits there in sleep mode.
Any help would be great. I might just be missing something simple. Thanks.
Edit: I just saw a short list of window managers near the bottom of the Arch Multihead page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … _xorg.conf). I don't see openbox on that list. Does that mean I'm SOL if I want to use openbox with multiple monitors? This page seems to imply that it should work fine with openbox http://magnatecha.com/dual-monitors-wit … nd-xrandr/.

I use XFCE, and when I boot my computer I just run:
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --auto --output DVI-I-2 --auto --left-of DVI-I-1
I'm assuming if you modify the names appropriately that it'll work too. I have had issues before trying to run dual monitors without taking both outputs off of a single video card (which is what I'm doing now). For example, I had a graphics card with one (VGA) output and a VGA output on my motherboard. But, connecting the graphics card disabled the on-board VGA. So it is possible (I'm not an expert here) that two displays coming off the motherboard may not work for hardware reasons.

Imac dual monitor primary monitor issue

This is driving me nuts and I must be missing something...
I have a 27" Imac (all-in-one) fully loaded with all the software I need (which I will call my old machine). I then bought another iMac but a newer one (I will call my new machine) again loaded with the software I need. I linked them together with the correct cable and the dual monitors worked great - my old machine being the primary display my new machine being the external display. It worked great for about 2 years but yesterday I thought I would like to switch the machines around so my new machine is the primary machine I work on (because it has a faster processor and some newer software) and my old machine will be the external display.
I just cannot do it!!! The arrangement tab in the display only shows on my old machine and no matter what I do with the screen and menu bars it is always the old machine which is primary with the older software.
I have tried unplugging each machine in different sequences, rebooting several times with always the same result - my old machine is the one with the Arrangement tab and therefore this is the primary display (with the older software).
Can anyone offer any advice on how to resolve this please.
Thank you in advance.
Tony

- What specific model iMacs do you have?
- Just how are you connecting them?
You may be using Target Display mode
Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
If so only the new machines can be used at a Target Display
