Is it possible to use  one imac to control the screen of another?

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a new iMac. At present I have an older intel iMac (1.83, 17 inch, 2 Gigs ram, 250 hd) and I work mainly with Logic Pro 8. Logic Pro 8 has a node function which allows you to use the processing power of a second computer to enhance the processing power of the primary computer. My present iMac in my new setup would be the node computer to the new iMac. I already know I can use the processing power of my present computer but can I also use it's display? In other words can I use the new iMac to control the old iMac's screen? Thanks

One thing I'd caution you on, Logic node uses resources over an ethernet connection, which this screen sharing application also appears to be transmitted over. Using this screen sharing app, the internet, or any other networking application on the Logic Node computer will affect the amount of bandwidth available to Logic Node, reducing the amount of performance you get by having the second "node" computer hooked up.
It's possible that it may not be very noticeable, but I'd definitely do a test with and without the screen sharing app to see how far you can push it.
I'm curious to see if this works well, I wouldn't mind using my PC laptop for a second monitor.

  • Is it possible to use a variable to control the path where a sub-flow is found ?

    I have a customer on UCCX 7.0.2 SR5.
    They are developing a script that uses many sub-flows and they wish to have a "Development" , "QA" and a "Production" versions of the application all on the same box.
    I can build the applications easily enough but the challenge I'm running into is we want to also have 3 different sub-directories in the repository to hold the different versions of the scripts and the sub-flows.  The thought is the developers can keep working on modifying the code while the QA team tests the latest build without affecting each other.  Then there is a separate production version of the script that has previously passed QA and is public facing.
    Example: the directory structure where the scripts are stored.
    \root of repository
         App-Dev
         App-QA
         App-Production
    In a script, it seems that you have to browse to the location in the repository and directly select the subflow you want.
    This is a challenge since when I copy my code from the development to the quality assurance directory I have to go thru and edit all the references to the sub-flow to the QA directory.
    Ideally I'd like to do the following:
    Define a string variable "Script-Path" and assign it to the desired directory
    then call the subflow
    SCRIPT[Script-Path\ScriptName.aef]
    this doens't seem to work.
    Has anyone found a solution to this challenge ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Does the subflow script and the script that calls it are in the same folder??
    If the script was originally loaded from disk, the subflow script must reside in the
    same folder as the script that calls it. If the script was loaded from the Repository,
    then the subflow must also reside in the Repository.
    EDIT: My first comment was because I though you were trying to call a script directly from disk.
    Now for scripts that are in the repository I did some tests. I have the root directory where I placed the main script and then I have another directory called Test where I placed the subflow script.
    My main script is:
    Start
    Accept
    PlayPrompt (audio.wav)
    Subflow(subflowVariable)
    End
    *subflowVariable is a parameter with value "Test\subflowScript.aef"
    My subflow script plays a prompt.
    So when I test this everything worked just fine

  • How to use one variable as a default value for another variable?

    Hi Experts,
    Is it possible to use one variable as a default value for another variable?
    For example:
    Variable 1 = current calendar year month
    Variable 2 = mandatory input ready variable for calendar year month
    I want to use variable 1 as default value for variable 2, but also have the ability to change the month if required.
    Thanks!
    Kathryn

    u can use replacement path variable
    in that case u can replace the values of 1 variable with the another variable...
    but  u cannot do this setting
    u cannot make variable 2 as mandatory
    u cannot enter value for variable 2
    because by default it will take the value of variable 1
    u have to make follow settings
    variable 2
    name , technical name
    processing by = replacement path
    infoobject = ocalmonth
    next tab
    replaced by another variable
    variable name
    offset start , offset lenght
    save and hit okey

  • Using an iMac as a 2nd display for another iMac?

    Hi all,
    is it possible to use an iMac as a 2nd display for another iMac?
    I guess it depends (if at all possible) on the models, right?
    Would it be possible with two of the currently available iMac 27" models?
    Is it just connecting the two video jacks with a cable? That would mean that the jack is input AND output connector at the same time: the video signal would be output from iMac 1 and serve as input for iMac 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Stefan.

    Awesome, David! Thank you! That helped a lot!
    Additional question: because running applications on the target-display-mode-iMac keep running: will I be able to connect from the source iMac to the target-mode-iMac via OS X's Share Screen functionality? So that I can still USE the 2nd (target-display-mode) iMac for running applications and accessing them? Or is the iMac in target display mode really just a dumb display? Will ssh'ing to it work?
    A little background: programs like Cubase and Logic work really great with two screens. Additionally, some audio plugins really need a lot of CPU power and some of those can actually distribute the number crunching via the LAN to other computers. So my thought is: run Cubase on iMac #1, use iMac #2 as a 2nd screen (will work, thanks to David's reply) AND use iMac #2's CPU, too, to help some Cubase plugins' number crunching. Would that work?
    Thanks a lot,
    Stefan.

    Is it possible to use an iMac as the display for a Mac mini?

    iMacs late 2009 or newer can be used in Target display
    mode.  Any older, no can do.
    The only other way is via network Screen Sharing or
    some otherVPN network like solution.  The issue here
    though is that video performance will be pretty severely
    hampered.

    jasontc:
    The answer is yes. If you use the "alias" method (in iPhoto's Advanced Preference pane - don't copy files when importing) you can use your own source folder system. You can also share the source files with another image management application. There are some unique issues, however. Any edit of a photo by iPhoto is not seen by the other application as the edited version is saved in iPhoto's Modified folder. If the other application can perform edits on the source file and save the edits to the actual source file, iPhoto's thumbnail of that file will not reflect the change but the edit will display when you open the photo in iPhoto's edit window or use that photo in a book or slideshow. If iPhoto hasn't edited before hand. If iPhoto edits the other application's edited version the source file is not touched. Also any file added to an existing source folder has to be manually imported into iView and then moved within iPhoto from its roll to the roll representing the source folder it was placed in via the Finder. When moved in iPhoto the source file will physically be moved to that folder in the Finder. Hope I haven't confused you with this convoluted description.
    So with some quirks you can use another application like iView MediaPro on the same set of source files.
    I do the above with iPhoto and iView.

  • How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

    How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's
    appearing and disappearing? What I want is when I push the button on
    one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
    push it again, that the second panel disappears.

    >
    You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
    code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
    some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
    the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
    The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
    changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
    sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
    TRUE to show or
    hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
    property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
    the VI name.

  • Can I use an iMac to control a mac pro

    I have a 2008 Mac pro that's working well. Since I'm doing a lot a video creation that needs to go to DVD I'm not ready to give it up. but I see the need for a more modern machine for some of the newer software I would like to use. so here is the question.
    Can I use a new iMac as my primary machine, and send the video files to the mac pro for rendering, compression, and storage?
    also can I boot up an older OS (snow leopard) from a disk on the mac pro?
    thanks

    You can use file share
