Multiple TVs/Boxes in one room

I currently have Directv, but am moving to an apartment building where I will be switching to Fios TV. I have three TVs set up in my living room, all connected to different boxes for the purpose of watching multiple sporting events at once. On Directv, it is possible to set up the remotes so that I can change the channel on one box without changing the channel on the other boxes. Is this possible on Verizon Fios TV as well?

Both the above solutions require a smartphone and app.
The answer regarding the rbox emotes themselves is no, they all send the same codes.

Multiple Select boxes in one form

Does anyone know if it is possible to have multiple select
boxes inside one form? I have six different select boxes that are
generated by six separate queries. The action page for all six
select boxes is the same so I just want one submit button so users
don't get confuse. I don't want to cluster up the page with submit
buttons but I may resort to that option.
My problem is the select boxes generate a number and when
that number is submitted I want to pass two other variables with it
to the action page. I tried putting a "Form" tag around the 6
select boxes. Inside each select box I tried to add an "Input
type="hidden"" and give thte name and values that I needed. That
worked for the first select box but when I tried the second select
box it used the hidden values for the first select box.
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if you
have any other suggestions I am open to any.
Thanks

Paross1,
I wasn't thinking about that and you gave me a great idea.
Here is how I changed my select boxes.
<cfform
action="Resolution_History.cfm?year=#year#&sessiontype=#sessiontype#&btype=res"
name="form">
<select name="SRINPUT">
<option value="">SR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="HRINPUT">
<option value="">HR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="SCRINPUT">
<option value="">SCR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSCR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<br>
<select name="HCRINPUT">
<option value="">HCR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHCR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="SJRINPUT">
<option value="">SJR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSJR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="HJRINPUT">
<option value="">HJR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHJR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Submit" alt="submit
button">
</cfform>
On the action page I need the below IF statement to work so
it will set the variables. It isn't working at this time. Its not
bringing the values of billnumber, houseorig or the billtype.
Do you have any thoughts? I know it is close. I need to set
all of the inputs to input4 to generate my queries.
<cfif form.srinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "s">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset srinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.hrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "h">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset hrinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.scrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "sc">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset scrinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.hcrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "hc">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset hcrinput eq input4>
<cfelseif form.sjrinput gt 0>
<cfset houseorig eq "sj">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset sjrinput eq input4>
<cfelse>
<cfset houseorig eq "hj">
<cfset billtype eq "r">
<cfset hjrinput eq input4>
</cfif>

Multiple Text Boxes into One Text Box

I need multiple text boxes to populate into one text box. I've got it to work with....
a=a + "\n " + (this.getField("Other Current Illnesses 1").value)
However, if the field is blank, it gives me a blank line.   What is the code if the box is "empty" to "skip" that text box?
Here is what I tried, but it takes everything away even if there is something in the textbox:
if (this.getField("Other Current Illnesses 1").value !==null) {a=a + ""} else
a=a + "\n " + (this.getField("Other Current Illnesses 6").value)
Any help?

From the sample forms supplied with the Acrobat distribution CD, you can use the "fillin" function that can process up to 3 fields at one time and automatically adjust for null value fields and add an option separator string;
The document level function:
// Concatenate 3 strings with separators where needed
function fillin(s1, s2, s3, sep) {
Purpose: concatenate up to 3 strings with an optional separator
inputs:
s1: required input string text or empty string
s2: required input string text or empty string
s3: required input string text or empty string
sep: optional separator sting
returns:
sResult concatenated string
// variable to determine how to concatenate the strings
var test = 0; // all strings null
var sResult; // re slut string to return
// force any number string to a character string for input variables
s1 = s1.toString();
s2 = s2.toString();
s3 = s3.toString();
if(sep.toString() == undefined) sep = ''; // if sep is undefined force to null
assign a binary value for each string present
so the computed value of the strings will indicate which strings are present
when converted to a binary value
if (s1 != "") test += 1; // string 1 present add binary value: 001
if (s2 != "") test += 2; // string 2 present add binary value: 010
if (s3 != "") test += 4; // string 3 present add binary value: 100
/* return appropriate string combination based on
calculated test value as a binary value
switch (test.toString(2)) {
case "0": // no non-empty strings passed - binary 0
     sResult = "";
break;
case "1": // only string 1 present - binary 1
     sResult = s1;
break;
case "10": // only string 2 present - binary 10
     sResult = s2;
break;
case "11": // string 1 and 2 present - binary 10 + 1
     sResult = s1 + sep + s2;
break;
case "100": // only string 3 present - binary 100
     sResult = s3;
break;
case "101": // string 1 and 3 - binary 100 + 001
     sResult = s1 + sep + s3;
break;
case "110": // string 2 and 3 - binary 100 + 010
     sResult = s2 + sep + s3;
break;
case "111": // all 3 strings - binary 100 + 010 + 001
     sResult = s1 + sep + s2 + sep + s3;
break;
default: // any missed combinations
     sResult = "";
break;
return sResult;
Then a custom calculation field for a full business phone number consisting of 4 fields could be:
// Business telephone number w/country code and extension
function doFullBusinessTelephoneVoice() {
var cc = this.getField("business.telephone.voice.countrycode"); // country code;
var ac = this.getField("business.telephone.voice.areacode"); // area code;
var nu = this.getField("business.telephone.voice.number"); // exhchange and phone number;
var ex = this.getField("business.telephone.voice.extension"); // internal extension number;
event.value = fillin(cc.value, ac.value, nu.value, "-"); // first 3 fields;
event.value = fillin(event.value, ex.value, "", "-"); // combined 3 fields and internal extension;
doFullBusinessTelephoneVoice();
It looks like a lot of code, but it is easy to insert document level scripts into t pdf so the actual coding is not that much. And if one hase multiple fields that requrie multiple input fields, the coding task is even less compared to working out each field.

Multiple text boxes on one slide

Hi all-
I want the user to enter their First Name, Last Name, then User ID on one slide.
I am using 3 text boxes.
1. I want the cursor to be positioned in the First Name text box when the user gets to that slide.
2 I am not validating their information but don't want them to get past a box if they don't enter anything.
How can I accomplish #1 and #2?
Thank you as always.
Erika

Hi gtmatt22
Well, in case you are interested, I may have discovered a way
to accomplish what you initially asked without the use of a
question slide.
Add your text entry boxes. Then stagger them so the second
doesn't appear until the first has been successfully answered.
Configure the start point just beyond the pause point. Repeat the
process for each text box.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Multiple click boxes on one slide; Pausing project

I'm using Captivate 5.5.
I have four click boxes on a slide. Three click boxes upon clicking show an image and then show a success caption. The forth click box shows a success caption but also is set to "pause project until user clicks."
Unfortunately, if any of the three click boxes are clicked it advances the playhead even though the forth click box was never clicked. How can I pause the project until only the forth click box is activated no matter if the other three click boxes have been previously clicked?

Hello,
Default behavior of click boxes is to trigger the simple action that is assigned to it AND at the same time to release the play head. Even if those 3 click boxes had a pause, at the same moment as the fourth, this would have happened. If you put the pausing point of the fourth click box later than the pausing of the first three, it will work fine if the user clicks only one out of 3 click boxes.
If you replace the simple action by a (eventually one-line) advanced standard action, the play head is not released:

Multiple Text Entry Boxes on One Slide

I am developing training and assesment captivates for a software application. On certain forms in the application, I want to have the student enter text in multiple text boxes on one slide. Cannot figure out how to set the On Success options to validate the entry in one box and then move to the next box on the same slide. For example, in the attached shot, I want them to enter into Term1 Days, Term2 Days and Term 3 Days on the same slide. Have tried the Enable option, but cannot tweak that to work. Any ideas? Thank You

Hi there
I think to do this properly you will have to simply stage the Text Entry Boxes. Perhaps on different slides.
The user will then interact with one at a time.
Cheers... Rick

Can I broadcast from my ipad to multiple tvs?

I would like to broadcast from my ipad to multiple tvs in the same room. The goal is to present to a small group but have the same slides show on all the tvs at the same time so everyone can see easily. I saw where you could buy multiple apple tvs, but it looked like this was so you broadcast different things to different tvs. I would like to broadcast the same thing to all the tvs at once. Any one have an easy solution? Thanks!

Absolutely! You can use the iPrint app to print - get it and learn about it here

How can multiple check boxes be added at one time to a form?

How can multiple check boxes be added at one time to a form?

Thanks for your response, but copying and pasting creates a link. If the user places a check mark in one of the boxes, all the rest of the boxes will have a check mark also. I will research this some more.

Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide?

Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide, each with it's own possible answer without having to have a separte submit button for each?
Message was edited by: Suzanne Petty

I'm using Captivate 5 - I'm thinking I would like to put two or three text entry boxes on one slide - say labeled Name, Email and Company I'd like to have any answer be accepted, yet I still want to have the answers included with the quiz reporting for our main quiz which I set up using a question pool.
I understand I can uncheck the validate user input box in the general menu in the property inspector, but that also makes the reporting menu inactive for the text entry box.
Is there a way to make validate user input accept any answer that is typed in the box, but still have the answers reported with my quiz?
Thanks

When will the ability to transfer seamlessly between apple Tvs be available? I want to be able to move from one room with an Apple TV to the other, and easily transfer a movie or tv show.

No one here can answer the question (if or when that might happen). We are users here and do not speak for Apple. In fact, it violates the TOU to speculate about future Apple plans.

Record multiple, simultaneous sessions through one webinar meeting room

Is there a way to record multiple, simultaneous sessions through one webinar meeting room? I know breakout rooms can't be recorded, but is there another way to have users join a main webinar room, select a sub-room/session they're interested in, and then join that sub-session? We want to have four sessions happening at once and allow users to choose which they want to participate in. We'd also like to record the sessions. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Use PPT, or a tool of your choice, to create a slide/object with links to each room. Then the user can click between the rooms as desired.
You may want to use the ?launcher=false command at the end of the URLs to keep the individuals from having the add-in launched multiple times and in multiple rooms at the same time. This will keep the meetings in the individual's browser.

Accessing AppTV on multiple TVs in different rooms

If you have two TVs in two different rooms, do you need 2 AppleTV units to access ATV from 2 TVs? I have 2 HDTVs (living room and bedroom), an iMac in the study, and an Airport Express with an in-house wi-fi network. I also have a PS3 that I use for streaming, but find that it is slow and cumbersome. Thanks.

No, wait. maybe Ishould just carry one tv back and forth between the living room and the bedroom.
Thanks for the comments (even tyler's).

Apple TV Connected to Multiple TVs?

Is it possible to connect an Apple TV box to multiple TVs to play the exact same content (e.g., music videos) on those same TVs? If so, how? Thx.

So do the HDMI splitters like the one at the link below not work? I would actually have all three TVs that I want to broadcast to fairly close to one another ...

Multiple v+ boxes?

hi, does anyone know if you can have multiple vision + boxes and hubs and hub phones running?..ie one in living room and one in bedroom?

manc-critch wrote:
so it is possible then?.. and if i dont record anything on the bedroom one then things should be ok in theory?
Yes it's possible, however because the relationship between both boxes and the server is undefined you can't guarantee that a recording you schedule will go on any particular box, so the concept of not recording anything in the bedroom doesn't really exist because the box in the living room tells the server you want to make a recording, but the box in the bedroom can see that too. This is where the wierdness comes in. It can all go a bit Doctor Who on you.
If it all goes pear shaped BT can't help in account of it being an unsupported configuration.

Connecting to multiple TVs possible?

Is it possible to connect a single mini to multiple televisions (3-5)? I will want the same signal to play on all of the displays simultaneously. Is this something that is simply done with a high-end splitter?
Also, these would be widescreen 16x9 sets and not standard 4:3 sets. Will that make a difference?
I currently have a G4 mini, but will purchase a new one if I think a solution exists. Any information that some one could provide is appreciated. I've searched the forums, but only find info on dual displays.
Thanks.

Since you don't have specific TVs in mind at this point, I agree with your assessment that component inputs will be most universal and the right way to go. Almost any wide format TV will have component inputs. Furthermore, since you want all the TVs displaying the same image, you should probably focus on 720p as the desired output from the Mac mini since it should be universally accepted by wide TVs and is a more computer friendly output vs. interlaced (1080i).
You may need to attach two boxes to a Mac mini in order to accomplish this. The first box would be a VGA to component video translation box. The second box would be a component video distribution box with one input and however many outputs you desire.
One company that comes to mind is Key Digital. Here are links to the products you might require. Consider calling them and explain your application. They might be able to solve it with one box.

http://www.keydigital.com/ProductDetail.aspx?categorycode=400&itemno=KDCDA6&prod uctname=Video/Audio%20Distribution%20Amplifiers
Another thing to be aware of is EDID. EDID is driver information located in a computer monitor's firmware. The information is passed to the host (computer) through a data channel embedded in the video cable (VGA cables and DVI/HDMI cables, but not component cables). It's what enables Macs to plug-and-play with so many different displays. But EDID is not so common among TVs. This is a long way of saying that you may end up having to use third party software, like SwitchRes X, to configure the mini to output 720p since 720p will probably not show up as one of the choices within Display Preferences on the mini when it is cabled through all these boxes.
