Dual Screen Presentation Help

Rich O Brien

Hi,

Does anyone have experience in presenting on 2 screens from one PC?

Here's my situation

2 projectors and 1 PC
Is it possible to run, let's say Powerpoint on one screen and SU on the other?
Do i need special software if it is possible?

PM me if you need more info or just ask here

Your 2 projectors are nothing more than having 2 LCD monitors to display information to. You can only do this if your video card that has 2 vga outputs. In my case the output is to 2 LDC monitors. Hence my desktop is 1920 x 1200 for each Monitor, or 3840 X 1200 for the 2 monitors. In your case the Output would be to 2 projectors.
What this means is you can drag, or move with your mouse, any application to the open unused second monitor.

Hi,

thanks for the advice. I know this post is really off topic but it's to help build a potential new venture. Hopefully members with experience in multimedia display could advise me to what is best option.

If the PC had two monitors that feed one projector would I be able to view both screens as one screen through projector?

Is it possible to view PowerPoint in slideshow mode and su simultaneously?

I really apologise for such a non SU topic but I know 0% about this kind of setup

basically I'm delivering weekend beginner/intermediate SU course for small businesses and such. The feedback so far has been positive with the main complaint been switching from SU , VLC , Ppoint etc

I think you still don't understanding my 1st response.
Your computer needs a device to display the information.

If you have a graphics card in your computer that has 2 VGA outputs you can display the following:

a: 2 Monitors
or
b: 2 Projectors
or
1 Monitor and 1 Projector

note: the display resolution of the Projectors is not a great yet as it is for Monitors,
however whatever combination you chose, a:, b: or above you will be able to view both Powerpoint and SU simultaneously!
