Multiple Monitor Video

We have a media lab with 15 mac G5 towers all linked together by a server. Is it possible to play one video that can span all of the screens. Basically creating a video that will play on one monitor then move to another. Is there a program or another way to do this using remote desktop or the server?

You need Dataton's Watchout System.
The problem might be that you would need to generate a huge movie resolution wise

Can Lookout Operate in any way with multiple monitors/video boards in one computer?

Windows supports multie monitors in varios wasy. Can I utilize Lookout with this functionality?

Using one webclient screen and a Lookout screen. All versions after 5.1 can only run one instance of Lookout. You can create a webclient version and display it in fullscreen.

Multiple monitors showing same video in different rooms

I would like to upgrade the video technology in some patient exam rooms. Is there a way to set up multiple monitors connected to the same PC or Laptop - to run the same video loop?

Video & multiple monitors

I have a 2nd monitor next to my iMac. I always keep my iTunes there. Until I upgraded to Snow Leopard, whenever I played a video podcast, it would open on that monitor.
Now when I play my video podcast, the video window opens on my main screen. If I drag it over and then press the green button, it returns to the first menu. I need to push the green button to get it small, then move it to my second monitor, then press the green button to get it big again on that monitor.
This did not happen with Leopard.

VMware Fusion question - Multiple Monitors

I apologize if this is in the wrong area, but I am desperate for some help. I have also posted this same question in the VMware communities but I have not had any luck with anyone responding yet.
It seems that I am having an issue with my virtual machine (windows XP) viewing in full screen or unity across my multiple monitor setup on my Mac Pro. Every time I go to view in full screen or unity I get a VMware popup warning/error that reads:
The virtual machine "Windows XP Professional" is configured for a smaller display size than the one your Mac is currently using. VMware Fusion needs to shut down your virtual machine to enable support for your Mac's display size in Full Screen. Do you want to shut down this virtual machine now?
I have two options, one to shut down, or one to go into full screen. If I go into full screen, full screen works with the correct resolution and everything looks great except its only in the one monitor (not the multiple monitor). If I shut down and restart the virtual machine and try to go to full screen I get the same error.
The VMware tools have been installed and I did go to the view, use all displays in full screen opiton.
My current setup is a mac pro with 3 monitors using 2 NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Video Cards.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I found a link to a VMWare Knowledge Base entry about specifying video ram in Fusion 1. Maybe it is still true.

How do I operate multiple monitors on my HP Pavilion Slimline Pavilion s3600t?

Hello HP Forum,
I am looking to operate 2 monitors on my HP Pavilion Slimline Pavilion s3600t that currently has GeForce 7100/NVIDIA nForce 630i. I am not a computer technician and only semi-tech saavy (less than more). I was told I needed a video card; however, I don't know what I need nor how to install it. Can anyone tell me what I type of video card I need to purchase (and why) and then point me to a video or instructions on install?
Further, what would it take for a computer to operate 3 monitors? Would this computer capable of operating 3 monitors? And what would that entail/how does it compare to installing options for 2 monitors?
Thanks for your help guys!
Cheers

Windows 7 and Multiple Monitor Issues

Alright, I have spent the past 3 days searching these forums as well as on Microsoft's support pages and all of Google to find the answer to my issue and it seems as though I'm the only one who is running into this problem.
I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro with the GeForce 9600M GT Nvidia Graphics card with the latest version of Mac OSX and Bootcamp installed on it. I have Windows 7 installed in bootcamp. I just purchased a Mini DisplayPort to VGA cord with a VGA cord so as to connect my computer to my Sony Bravia HDTV to use as a second monitor. I plug in the cords, plug them into my TV, and put it into the proper input and it works like a charm. Then I go and boot up in bootcamp under Windows 7, plug in the cord, and my screen gets to the "starting windows" logo and then it goes black. I push ever button, I try control alt delete, nothing. I have to hold down the power button to turn off the computer and then turn it back on.
I turn it on, boot up into Windows 7, let it load, then plug in the cord, and the computer display instantly goes black, again, and yet nothing displays on the TV. Again, I try everything to no avail, so I power it off and back on. I go through this at least 10 times to no avail. I finally give up and try again the next day.
Next day, I plug it in, and the monitor stays up, but yet nothing is displayed on the TV. I go to my resolution settings in Windows, and go to the multiple monitors tab, and select every possible option (extend, duplicate, etc) and nothing will display on my TV. I try to change the settings to which it responds with "unable to save display settings" and nothing changes. I attempt to enter the nvidia program and make changes that way. The TV is detected, but when I select it and attempt to apply anything, no changes take effect and I am left with only the laptop display. Keep in mind I uninstalled and reinstalled all of the video drivers and such.
Finally I get fed up so I purchase a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapted and a DVI to HDMI adapter. I try again. Again in OSX it launches immediately, no problems. I go back into Windows, and immediately I'm dealing with the instant black screen.
I'm going crazy over here trying to figure this out. I know it's possible to do this because I've seen people on youtube doing this and again it works on OSX so why the heck won't it work? If anyone has any idea what's going on here please help me out. Thanks.

JonMarx... I'm having the exact same problem. I'm in the exact same situation as you are. I'm going mad, and it's only by divine providence that I've finally located the only other person who knows what I've been going through. I've spent at least 20 hours trying to get this started back up, to no avail.
I had the secondary display working peachy for a while, long enough to configure everything to be exactly how I wanted it. I unplugged the monitor from the computer just to see what would happen, and that's when the problems started. I managed to get it to work one last time for a brief period a few hours later, but the way it just clicked on made it feel too good to be true.
I've had a wierd problem with a phantom display as well. The display will frequently show up as being available in both the nVIDIA panel and the windows settings, but if I apply the settings, they won't go through. I got a few screenshots of it the last time it happened.
I was just about to reinstall windows completely, but it seems that I'll just run into the same problem again if I do... Here's to hoping a solution is found.

Macbook Pro and Multiple Monitors

Hi,
I was considering on making the move to apple and getting the macbook pro.I multi-task a lot with my machine and was thinking of buying 2 20" apple cinema display's.Is their a way of connecting my macbook pro to the 2 cinema displays and to a 32" so 4 monitors including the unit itself can be run.It needs to be quiet cheap as well don't really want to spend a lot of money on it.All the screen's have to run different I don't want it to be mirroring on all four.
Thanks
Jonathan

No, not without buying an external video card unit that connects via the MBP's Express34 slot. It's not cheap, but one was featured on gizmodo a while back: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/03/08/vidock-gfx-brings-multiple-external-monitors-to-m acbook-pro/
There is no way to run multiple monitors off the single DVI port in the MBP.

That's why you're only getting a mirrored display and don't have the option
to extend your desktop. The Microsoft driver doesn't support anything other than mirroring.
Check Windows Update to see if you're offered an update to your display
adapter or try to download and install the latest driver from Intel.

Find monitor instance name , device name , resolution and frequency of multiple monitors (VGA and HDMI)

hi,
In my system multiple monitors are connected (VGA and HDMI). In need to know the
monitor instance name , device name , resolution and frequency of each monitor.. any solution?
i used wm class 'WmiMonitorConnectionParams' to determine Video output technology connection type and InstanceName.
But i didn't get the device name , resolution and frequency of each monitor.??
There are other wmi class like :
WmiMonitorBrightnessEvent
WmiMonitorConnectionParams
WmiMonitorRawEEdidV1Block
WmiMonitorListedFrequencyRanges
WmiMonitorDigitalVideoInputParams
WmiMonitorAnalogVideoInputParams
WmiMonitorID

WmiMonitorBasicDisplayParams
Win32_VideoController
Win32_VideoConfiguration
Win32_VideoSettings Win32_DisplayControllerConfiguration
Win32_DisplayConfiguration
But unable to determine monitor having its corresponding values? please help me to find a solution .
is there any other method to get multi monitor details?
thank you

Hi sumith,
I read some documents about WmiMonitorConnectionParams class, it should be able to get the video putput technology by the D3DKMDT_VIDEO_OUTPUT_TECHNOLOGY enumeration.
D3DKMDT_VIDEO_OUTPUT_TECHNOLOGY enumeration
So what happens when you are using WmiMonitorConnectionParams class? What prevent you? Anyway, please see a example of using WmiMonitorConnectionParams class, maybe you could get some hints on it.

T410 type 2516-A11 multiple monitor (and cleaning service) question

Hi guys,
I have the above mentioned model. I want to verify my understanding (from reading the forums) is correct regarding the multiple monitor setup.
This model is NOT capable of running 2 external displays + 1 internal laptop display all at the same time. I checked the BIOS and i dont see any mention of nvidia. Is there any way i can get 3 monitors all displaying at same time without purchasing a dock-3 ? I am considering simply buying another laptop (about $300 for a cheap one) instead of spending money on the dock. After all, this laptop is getting old and i need to get ready for some kind of unrecoverable crash. (I do not backup stuff, for lack of time and stuff is not work related).
The second question is on cleaning this laptop. After running 15 hrs a day, all days of the week, for past 2 and half years, this laptop has impressed me with its stability. But i had to buy a laptop cooler to hold the bottom of the laptop because it started getting hot and crashing on me every 2 days (because i run video intense app for much of the time). I am planning to take it to local fry's electronics for taking it apart and getting a good internal cleanup done on this. Is there any precautions i should mention to the fry's technician ? I am planning to backup important files, just in case the laptop dies after that. Would like to hear any stories (good or bad) after a cleaning service on T410 model.
Thanks in advance; i am planning to get this machine rejuvinated during this christmas break.

Hi,
if you remove "encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm tkip" from the radio interface does it help?
it should remain like this:

no ip address
no ip route-cache
encryption vlan 1 mode ciphers aes-ccm tkip
ssid WLAN_Corporate
ssid WLAN_HartKitGuest

DWM and multiple monitors

Who has any tips for running DWM with multiple monitors?

Not exactly. I mean that if your Xorg video configuration and/or xrandr is set up properly than dwm should Just Work. Different video card vendors require different methods of setting up dual-head. Check the wiki for your vendor info and go from there.

Touchsmart and Multiple Monitors

Has anyone out there actually connected an HP Touchsmart to multiple monitors? I am aware that USB-to-DVI or USB-to-VGA adapters are required. However, I learned from one adapter manufacturer out there (StarTech) that there are known issues with these adapters and the Touchsmart. Has anyone had success? esp with synchronizing video? What brand/type of adapter did you use? My goal is to get one Touchsmart and 4 extra monitors working together. thanks

When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers that are all different. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
You shouldn't need to disable the "Touch" feature to enable "Extended Display" mode... however if don't disable it, you may have issues getting to the extended display or you may experience unpredictable results. Using a mouse should allow you to reach the alternate screen. Depending on your hardware, there may or may not be an option to disable "Touch (Use your finger as an input)" in the Windows Control Panel. You can, however, disable the touchsceen input device in the Windows Device Manager as shown below;

Can I split to multiple monitors?

I just bought a Mac Mini and I want to split out to multiple monitors.
Preferably I want to go out with a VGA and DVI or 2 VGA's if possible. Can it split to multiple monitors?
I am trying using a presentation program to send the signal to multiple wall monitors. Kinda like a hotel with the convention monitors...
Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The new Mac mini has two video ports and supports using two displays at once. There is a mini-DisplayPort and an HDMI port. You will need the appropriate adapters for the two ports to convert the signals to either DVI or VGA. Apple and a number of 3rd party venders sell these adapters.

Hi everyone, I have just purchased a new iMac 27. Is this device able to support a multiple monitor set-up (additional two screens)? If so what do I need and are there any draw backs?

Hi everyone,
I have just purchased a new iMac 27. Is this device able to support multiple monitor set-up (an additional two screens)? I am not a gamer, so require the set-up for 'office suite' type work and video viewing. if the set-up is possible, what would I need, is it pretty straight forward and are there any draw backs?
Thank you.

I just purchased the same imac. I connected the other displays using a thunderbolt to dvi adapter and it works fine.
