  • Using two displays with Mac Mini

    Is there any way to use two seperate monitors with a mac mini-primary and secondary? If you find a device, please let me know

    I had seen this blog a few months ago. They used a Matrox DualHead2Go with two 1024x768 capable monitors to achieve dual screens

    You will have to add a custom display / resolution using SwitchResX in order to use them both, but it works.

  • Using two displays with FCE

    Hi
    I wanted to see if anyone out there uses two screens when editing with FCE HD. I use a Powerbook g4, and wish to use the laptop screen for viewing editing timeline, maybe soudtrack or live type and a 2nd LCD screen to maybe see the output or toolboxes. For example, if you set up dual display mode in system prefs, and do a powerpoint show, the laptop screen shows something different (such as upcoming slides etc.) to what is output to a projector connected to the DVI port.
    Is there something like this on FCE? Thanks

    I have now got FCE 3 and answered my own question. For any others who might be interested...if you have FCE and are looking to make use of more than one display, you have two options.
    One is to use the OS's inbuilt multi-display options and have the different windows (timeline, viewer, canvas etc.) on different screens, making each one bigger. Or even have livetype open on one and FCE on the other. (Though G4s seem to struggle with this.)
    However, a better solution (particularly if you have an HD capable display attached) is to use FCE's Video Out feature (Tools > Video Out). This outputs your canvas in full screen on the second display. It's great to work, and watch a huge full quality version of the final video at the same time.

  • Problem using two displays...

    So I'm running my G5 with OSX 10.4.10 with a Radeon 9800 XT. I have two displays connected. A 23" Apple Cinema display conneded, via a Belkin ADC to DVI adaptor, to the ADC port. The second display is a Princeton VL 1919 connected directly to the DVI port. They both work great.
    But there's a problem.
    Every 20 minutes, or so, everything will freeze up & the screens will go blue. Everything will hang for a couple of seconds & then return to normal.
    It didn't start doing this until I connected the Princeton. Now I know that the Princeton is OK because I used it with my Mini for months & it was perfect. Also, The Cinema Display was perfect on it's own. Not until I put them together on the G5 was there a problem.
    I went to the Radeon site to download a new driver, but there isn't one available for the 9800 XT. Only the 9800 Pro Mac & Pro Mac Special Edition.
    Any ideas?
    Any insight is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for any help offered.

    Hmmm...
    Well, I just got an email back from the coolerguys. They said that this "Might" work...
    http://www.coolerguys.com/840556026433.html
    But they can't be sure.
    So I'm going to plan ahead & assume that either it will not fit, or I'm going to kill the card when I try to install the fan.
    So...
    Can you recommend a replacement card that people have been generally happy with? All I need it to do is drive two screens, one of them being a 23" & be able to handle some pretty demanding Photoshop work/Indesign work.
    Any advise is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Using two displays on macbook pro

    I have the macbook pro 2012 with two thunderbolt ports.
    Is it posibele to connect 2 non-thunderbolt displays using two thunderbolt to hdmi cables? One for each port.
    They are quite pricey so I want to be sure before I purchase them.

    Are these cables alright?

  • How can I use two displays with my Mac Mini?

    How can I connect two displays to my Mac Mini (newest generation with one thunderbold and one hdmi)?

    Have you tried connecting one to the HDMI output, and another to the Thunderbolt port (with the appropriate Mini DisplayPort-to-other connection adapter as needed)?

  • Using two displays simultaneously on an early intel mac mini

    I would like to connect my Apple display and an LCD TV to my early Intel Mac Mini using a DVI-D splitter and DVI-D cable to the DVI input on the TV. I don't know if this Mac Mini's video card has a single or a duel DVI output. I'm assuming it has to have a duel output to be able to have both displays on at the same time. Also, from what I've read previously in the discussions, I assume I'll have hook up the audio output also, assuming the video works. Thanks for any help.

    I'm pretty sure that can't work for a variety of reasons. Primarily the DVI output on the mini has a single digital output, not two. It has been shown that it can output VGA analog and DVI digital simultaneously when booted under Windows, but the OS X driver for the GMA950 does not support that same trick. So I don't think you are going to be able to do what you want unless you run Windows.
    You could try add-on hardware if you really have your mind set on this. There are USB-to-video adapters out there on the market. They are reported to work pretty well with the caveat that they can't be used for things like full screen video which requires more bandwidth than USB can supply. But for a mostly static display, like using a mail reader or a browser without too much animation, or a spreadsheet, etc., they work well enough.

  • Using two displays simultaneously

    Skipping over the unnecessary details, this is what I'm trying to do.
    I'm on a MacBook. I want to have a video game running on my MacBook's screen, while having firefox displaying on my TV, and I'll have a movie streaming from Netflix.
    I'm not too experienced with Macs, is this possible? I already have the proper cables and I've used the TV before as my monitor, but I haven't figured out how to display two different things on the TV and on my MacBook's screen.
    Thanks in advance for any help

  • Can i use track pad and mouse when using two displays

    I have a second display I wonder if I can use my mouse for the other display and my track pad for my macbook pro.
    if not what will be the solution.
    ps: my second display is a tv.

    Although Apple has enabled multiple Finder and Dock display functionality as an option within Mission Control preferences, there is no means to assign pointing devices to different displays.
    I have two Apple devices: Magic Trackpad and Mouse. One mouse pointer is allocated to both devices regardless which screen I am using. That's the way it is.

  • HT4614 connecting two displays on mac mini(late 2012)

    I have a mac mini (on order). I want to use two displays as follows: connect one to the thunderbolt port and one to the hdmi port. Can I do it?

    If possible steer away from analog VGA.
    If you have DVI or HDMI supported monitors, you can use the supplied HDMI to DVI Adapter or a straight HDMI cable from the Mini's HDMI port for one monitor.
    Then depending on the second monitor HDMI, DVI or VGA you will need one of the following MiniDisplay Port to HDMI, DVI or VGA Adapters connected to the Thunderbolt Port. Optionaly, if you had a monitor that supported Display Port, then you could use a MiniDisplay Port to Display Port cable.

  • Two displays

    Sorry if this has been asked before, could not find anything about it ?
    So as the title says : can the MacBook use two external displays ? I know there is a Matrox thingy that will let the Mini use two displays can this be used with the MacBook, will it just screen span or are they independent ?
    Custom mini

    Hi Custom Mini,
    I am also right now looking to buy an external monitor to hook up to my MacBook. As much as my Mac's screen is gorgeous I'm outgrowing the 13 inches of real estate
    The answer to your question is yes, you can run two monitors off your MacBook but just be a little careful... here's why
    Your MacBook comes with a Mini DVI connector on the left hand side beside your MagSafe port. If you are looking to buy a new monitor then make sure its DVI for improved visual performance. You will need to then purchase a Mini DVI to DVI cable which allows that external monitor to connect to your Mac.
    You can use a VGA monitor but you'll need a Mini DVI to VGA cable instead. Don't try and do what many have attempted which is to connect a Mini DVI to DVI cable into a DVI to VGA cable... the chances are this wont work.
    When you connect up your second display you'll be given the option through System Preferences > Displays to either extend your desktop or to mirror it. With mirroring you'll effectively have both displays showing the same thing. With the extended desktop you'll have one huge desktop. I recently asked the question on this forum about whether I can run my bigger external monitor as the primary and have the MacBook at one side as the secondary and I've been told that this is perfectly allright.
    I hope this helps you out

  • Using Dual Displays G5 Dual Core 7800GT

    Hi Gang
    Happy Thanksgiving.
    I'm editing strickly in SD with an older G5 Dual Core 2.0 - 14GB RAM and nVidia GeForce 7800GT 256MB Dual Port DVI Graphics Card. Most Final Cut editors  utiliize dual displays. That being said, wondering if I'd be better off with a PCIe nVidia Quadro FX4500 512MB. I believe my friends Chris & BD here on the forum, may prefer the speed of the nVidia Quadro FX4500. I'm also trying to avoid bogging down the system.
    Thank you
    Mike

    Hello Diesel
    Don't think we've connected before. And please don't be offended, I'm a 65 year old Mac user who highly regarded Chris's expertise. He was a bit older than most here, and his experience was impeccable. In my qualified opinion, I've been witness here to countless examples of concieted bloatness and inaccuracy. More so on the FCP forum. In fact, sometimes, despite the higher star rating of a responder, I'll eventually solve my own problem contrary to a short rude incorrect reply, (as though they may appear higher than mighty). But of course this is typical of any forum.
    In short, I've found the answer many times lies in different respones from different people. You just have to search.
    Getting back to my ole friend Chris, I'm gonna guess he finally got peturbed with all the 'Arm Chair Quarterbacks', (more now than ever).
    In any event, here's Chris's well researched list, and I see the X1900 is listed as weaker than the 4500.

    I think the answer is that the FULL SIZED nVidia card, (two slots - 512MB), could be more powerful thus preventing a slow down when using two displays.

    The other advantage with nVidia, (as taught by Chris), is that XTI cards do not have temperature sensors. I use Temp Sensor all the time.

  • Two displays for MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC graphics card ?

    Is it possible to have two displays simultaneously connected to this graphics card:
    http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6950-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html#?div=Overview
    The card has two DVI-outputs "DVI Output: 2 (Single-Link DVI-D x1, Dual-Link DVI-I x1)".  I can use one display at a time and the second display only shows "No signal" error. I would like to use two displays when playing PC games, is it possible with this craphics card? Both my displays have VGA connector cables, and they are connected to the card with an VGA/DVI adapter.

    what monitors you are using and what resolutions you're trying to use?
    Both monitors are old models: 1) Panasonic PanaFlat PF90 2) acer AL 707.
    I'm not sure what resolution I was using on acer when I tried to connect both monitors, but now I'm using PanaFLat with 1280 x 1024. Maybe I should try to set them both on 1024 x 768 and try again.

  • How can I use two screens to display one window

    Before Mavericks, MAC OS allowed you to use two screens (next to each other) in order to display one (big) window of one application.
    That would mean that a window would start on your left screen en would continue on the right screen.
    With Mavericks, however, this not possible any more. The window of the application can only be seen on ONE of the screens (i.e. the left one).
    Can any one tell me whether I've missed certain options or how to adjust my settings in order to get this feature back?

    Hey CGNL,
    First, if you haven't already, set up the displays as an extended desktop:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Arrangement.
    Follow the onscreen instructions.
    Then, use Mission Control preferences to uncheck/turn off the option for "Displays have separate Spaces":
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Mission Control
    Uncheck "Displays have separate Spaces"
    That should enable you to stretch whatever window you want across multiple displays.

  • Displaying contents of two int. tables in same screen using grid display
