Outputing to 2nd Monitor

Our facility is streaming using Adobe Media Live Encoder. We are building a new facility and I want to send the output of the stream to NTSC output of my video card so we can monitor the stream from the office area. My goal is to have the output of all 3 channels on a quad view monitor with our 3 channels and the front door security camera. We are currently using Flash Media Live Encoder 3 and I don't see any options for outputing to a 2nd monitor.
Thanks,

Dennis,
Thanks for the reply. If by "quit" you mean minimize, then yes it does, but if I actually quite the application and reopen it, it reopens on the primary screen and I have to drag it again to the secondary monitor. At first I thought it might just be the app, but all of them do the same thing (iTunes, Safari, etc.) Is there any special setting that needs to be set in order for it to work?

How do I add an output for a 2nd monitor?

I have a mac mini that was purchased in 2009 I believe, maybe 2008. The operating system has been upgraded to Snow Leopard. I want to add a 2nd monitor, so I can use 2 at the same time, however, there is only one output. Is there a way to add an output for a 2nd monitor? OS is 10.6.X. not at the computer right now to check.
Thanks for input.

If the back of your mini looks like this:
- then you have two display ports already (Mini DVI Port and MiniDisplayPort). I only mention this, as it may not be obvious! You just need the right adapters to feed your two monitors.
If it looks like this:
- then you do indeed only have one display output (DVI) and then ignore me, and listen to Asatoran!

Connecting a 2nd monitor

I want to buy either a Dell or BenQ 2nd monitor for my mac book pro.. are these monitors compatible??

http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/features.html
On the new MBPs, they have a Mini DisplayPort, which supports VGA, HDMI and DVI outputs. You could get the Apple LED Cinema Display - it might be a little more expensive but it'll definitely work with the new MBPs.
BTW, it'd be handy if you put your system details in the text boxes above the 'post message' button when you put something in this forum...that way we'll know what you're running without you having to keep typing it in all the time.

Hetis 865GV video output to two monitors

Does anyone know how to set the Hetis 865GV to output simultaneously to the VGA port and to either DVI or S-Video to display the same output on two monitors?

well i dont have an 865 , but that is handled by my video card.
try reading up in the features of that, using a short alt f something key to turn on 2nd display. may have to set it up under video card propertes, an click a check box under tv.

GT 610 2nd monitor pink screen

I've recently installed an MSI GT 610 graphics card and have set up 2 monitors. The primary monitor is on the DVI-I port, the secondary on the D sub port has a pink colour cast. Greens won't show on the 2nd monitor.
I've swapped the monitors around and the problem is definitely with the output from the D sub port.
Is this a faulty card or is there a fix?
The card refs are 912-V809-205 N610GTMD2GD3/LP I've got the latest driver 301.42
Grateful for a solution

do you have any temp monitor software installed?

Adding 2nd monitor

I am trying to hook up 2nd monitor to my desktop. It has 2 dvi plugs. I have dvi to vga adapters on both plugs . The top plug puts out signal to monitor but the bottom does not. I swiched monitors to the plugs and still just the top plug will support a monitor. Any idea if the bottm plug is a dummy plug and needs a video card or how would i find that out?

Thank you for the additional information.
Both DVI ports can be used at the same time:
*Integrated video is not available if a graphics card or an Intel processor ending with “P” is installed.
A processor that supports graphics is required for integrated graphics to be enabled.
Integrated graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD (DX10.1)
Either integrated graphics or the PCI Express x16 slot are usable at one time; they are not usable concurrently.
Use of both DVI ports at the same time is supported.
If you have a local retailer who sells the adapters it would be a good idea to buy another one. If it doesn't work you can always return it. There is no other reason that you shouldn't get output from the port.
If you want to increase the performance of your system you could install a dedicated video card. This would require a power supply unit (PSU) upgrade, also.

Using 2nd Monitor Doesn't Reset When Switching To 1 Monitor Only

FF4 was displayed on my 2nd monitor off of my laptop.
I then powered-down and removed the 2nd monitor hookup.
After rebooting with only the laptop monitor, FF4 opens (twice) with only a tiny window just large-enough to display the red-yellow-green buttons. Fortunately, upon clicking the green button, it expands into a normal window.
Just an FYI.

It's a LacieIIblueIV monitor.
I delieted the files any still doesn't work.
I recall one coworker encountering this before, and he switched the monitor connection to the other output on the graphics card (dual monitor support) and it worked fine for him. Unfortuantely I tried this and still didn't work...

Clitching H264 Playback on 2nd monitor - 17" MacBook Pro/NVIDIA

I have used Keynote professionally for many years, and often use H264 compressed videos (that I have created in After Effects). This has always worked very well until the last few weeks when I noticed that every now and then there is a glitch in the playback of H264 movies when a 2nd monitor/video projector is attached.
Glitch description: A completely random flash/breakup of the image that lasts for single frame - similar to the old flash frame you used to get when playing back MPEG2 movies in PowerPoint. This does not cause the video to stop playing, but is annoying when using it in a profesional presentation. It is also completely random and occurs at least once a minute during playback. This only occurs on the new MacBook Pro's that have the NVIDIA graphics card. It does not occur when using the laptop's LCD display only - ie: no 2nd output used. It does occur on the laptop's LCD if a second display/projecter is plugged in. This does also not occur on my ATI equiped MacBook Pro 15" or my G5 or my iMac.
It appears to be a problem with the NVIDIA card.

hi!
i got the same problem with the 15 inch 2.4 Macbook Pro and
Digital Cinama Display through Final Cut Pro.
Looking like a NVIDIA driver problem - hoping for leopard............

Viewer on 2nd Monitor Problem

I just upgraded FCPX to 10.06 and when I show "viewer on 2nd monitor" the image is all screwed up and distorted, almost like it lost sync. This has never happened before. Has anyone had this happen after upgrading FCPx??

I checked the connections. If I output the event viewer to the second monitor then its all correct. I've found a work around but it's very strange. I had the second monitor on top of the main monitor in the display preferences for monitor arrangement. When I move the 2nd monitor to the right of the main monitor in the preferences and quit FCPX and re-open FCPX, it then works fine. I never had this issue before I upgraded to the next version 10.06. Try putting your 2nd monitor on top of the main monitor (in the display preferences) and then output the Viewer to the 2nd monitor. Curious if you get the same problem.

Pavilion Slimline 400-034 Windows 8 not detecting 2nd Monitor

Hello, I have a Windows HP computer, and I recently bought a 2nd monitor for my birthday, link click here. I have the same monitor for my first, and that works perfectly fine, when I bought the 2nd monitor, I realized I have a different port, and it's not a DVI-I, it's a DVI-D. So I bought a VGA to DVI-D connector, so I plugged my VGA into the connector and then plug the DVI-D into the tower. I turned on my computer, and the 2nd monitor wasn't detected, the DVI-D connected one, but the first one was. The monitor was set into mode auto, so it detected any working inputs, DVI, VGA, HDMI, and another. The 2nd monitor works thought while into the DVI-I port, but neither work in the DVI-D port. Any help (: ??

Here are the specs for you HP Pavilion Slimline 400-034 Desktop Computer and here is the user guide for your Insignia™ - 24" LED HD "NS-24EM51A14" Monitors. Based on the specs of your computer, it has one DVI-D (digital only) output and one DVI-I (digital and analog) output as shown below;
#3 - DVI-D (digital only) #4 - DVI-I (digital and analog)
According the user guide for your Insignia monitors... VGA, DVI-D, and HMDI inputs are available. Using a passive DVI-to-VGA adapter will work on the DVI-I port because it supplies both digital and analog signals. Using a passive DVI-to-VGA adapter will NOT work on the DVI-D port because it only supplies digital signals. Please remove both DVI-to-VGA adapters and VGA cables and replace them both with DVI-D cables. You can purchase these cables online and at most local retail store such as Fry's, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Radio Shack, Staples, Newegg, Office Depot, etc. Once you have purchased two DVI-D cables, please connect your hardware as follows;
Computer ---> DVI-D cable ---> Monitor #1
Computer ---> DVI-D cable ---> Monitor #2

New 2nd monitor - xrandr & awesome

I just bought another monitor (yay craigslist!) with the intention of having a workspace stretched across the two of them. Both are 17-in that support 1280x1024. I've got one plugged into the VGA port on my nvidia card, with the other plugged into the DVI (through a DVI-to-VGA converter, since it's VGA as well).
When I'm not running X, output gets cloned to the 2nd screen. When X starts, though, it goes into powersave. Xrandr only shows one monitor:

which is essentially the same, except trying to follow phrakture's instructions here. This results in a desktop that's the proper size, but only on one monitor - moving the mouse over scrolls the screen sideways.
URandR doesn't support the nvidia driver, and zarfy seems like it would work ok, except it only shows one monitor.
I'm not particularly tied to xrandr - xinerama or somesuch would be ok, but I read that xinerama is deprecated and I should use xrandr, so that's what I'm trying.

Oh my, that's wonderful!
phrakture wrote:I find this easier to work with, and might be something you're interested in if you just want to distinct screens
I think this is what I want, as well. Right now, via nvidia-settings, it's working great, except for the fact that nvidia-settings doesn't recognize 1280x1024 as a valid resolution for the 2nd monitor, even though it's the recommended resolution for it. I managed to set it using xrandr, though, and it seems to be working fine.
EDIT:
...until I rebooted. It's stuck at 1024x768, and xrandr won't set it higher because it's "not found in available modes".
Normally I'd just add a section to the xorg.conf, but I'm a bit lost as to what's happening in it. Here is the appropriate section:
Section "Screen"
# Removed Option "metamodes" "CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"

I tried changing it such, but it didn't seem to help:

Dual display, 2nd monitor displays 3 of everything

I have ran 2 monitors before with no problems. Useing the lastest nVidia drivers with a Ti4200 128 I get 3 displays of everthing I put on the 2nd monitor. What I mean is when I slide a window over to the 2nd monitor it shows up 3 times. The device manager shows 4 monitors, the primary (Hitachi 751) and 3 default monitors. It doesn't mention the 15" NEC monitor that is my 2nd display. I have tried to uninstall them, but they keep coming back. I have unpluged the 2nd monitor and rebooted, no luck. There probably is some check box or setting that I am missing in the nVidia control panel.
I sure need some help,Thank You ..... VRB

Hi,
This is probably NOT the answer, but if all else fails...
I've encountered problems when connecting an LCD monitor to the VGA output of a video card which is primarily set up for PAL TV out - so the Vertical and Horizontal rates on the VGA are presumably derived from the PAL H & V rates (50Hz and 15625Hz - the latter might be doubled on the VGA). Anyway, most of the LCD screens I have tried in this combination give multiple horizontally displaced images. On the other hand, CRT (picture tube) monitors generally seem OK.
So you could try changing the refress rate or resolution of the 2nd output, and see if it makes a difference.
Having said that, I think the problem is more related to the way your system thinks there are 3 extra monitors attached - in which case I haven't a clue :(
Good luck!

Best 2nd monitor for iMac Intel 20"

A few months back I stumbled upon a great article comparing Apple and 3rd party monitors that could match up well with the iMac Intel 20".. of course I can't find it now that I'm using actually using this iMac. I'm curious to hear your experiences/views on 2nd monitors that match up well for this specific computer. Thanks

There is a MiniDVI output port on this iMac. Simply purchase one of the following adaptors and configure the dual display in Apple menu > System Preferences... > Displays. (The options appear when you connect the display):
Mini DVI - DVI
Mini DVI - VGA
Mini DVI - Composite/S-Video.
DVI will also certainly provide the best picture quality but the exact choice of display depends on your budget and intended usage. For example budget LCD displays are inappropriate for work that requires colour accuracy.
Your iMac will support displays with the following resolutions:
Digital resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.
Analogue resolutions up to 2045 x 1536

Can't run flash player in full screen on 2nd monitor

Hi all! I have a laptop with dual video displays. The main
display is the laptop's LCD and the 2nd display is a 19" LCD
connected via VGA cable. I want to let a Flash movie loop endlessly
on the second monitor while I continue to work on the laptop. When
I drag Flash Player 8 over to the 2nd monitor and start the movie,
I can hit maxmize and it will take up the entire 2nd montior as it
should...with the file options and boarder around as expected. I
then hit Ctrl-F to go full screen and it snaps directly to the
laptop's primary monitor. I tried it at work where my desktop has 2
displays and the same thing happens. I need to force Flash player
to run full screen on the 2nd monitor and cannot find a way to
accomplish this. Any help is appreciated because it's driving me
nuts. I can always make the external monitor my primary but then
the start button and all my icons move there too and that is not
acceptable. Thanx!

Seriously? No one has any thoughts about this? I can't
believe I would be the first to come across this issue.

Dell Venue 11 Pro Tablet Docking Station - Dock Firmware won't update or output to any monitor

Hi,
Just bought a Dell Venue 11 Pro Tablet Docking Station and it won't output to any monitor via HDMI or Displayport.
I've tried updating the firmware to V02 and V03. I get the message:
Current On-Board Firmware is 0.41.9
Do you want to update with firmware version 0.41.23 (V03) 0.41.19 (V02)
When I select yes I get the following error:
Error: Please unplug the power connector from the Dell desktop dock for 15 seconds, then plug the power connector back into the Dell desktop dock and try again.
This I keep repeating but it will not update.
The model number of the dock is: K10A001.
The only other thing I notice is that the power adapter does not appear the same as any of the pictures I have seen and is a Dell 74VT4 (65w) which seems be for a Dell XPS 18 (1810).
Please help as I think this may need to be sent back.
Thanks.

Hello,
I've exactly the same problem. I've also the model number K10A001 and the current Firmware 0.41.9, and it is also not possible for me to flash the docking station.
This is also problematic because only one monitor of the two connected monitors works. An this monitor shows only a picture, if it is plugged, after the dockingstation and the Venue 11 Pro has been started.
I think there is maybe an improved flash utility required in order to allow to flash the docking station? If some one had succeeded please respond.
Thank you
