Best idea for multiple displays

Just talk about kJams stuff with each other, describe things you did that worked, talk about your setup, anything that doesn't fit into the other forums!

Best idea for multiple displays

Post by tetzel »

Needs some ideas from you geniuses...:-)

Currently using a PowerBook G4 and DVI out to a 17" RGB monitor instead of a TV. What's a good way to add another video out to link up to the clients big screen? I don't see a way to do it with this monitor since it is basically a computer monitor with only an RBG 15pin in.

Wow, that is sure an expensive solution to a simple problem. Since the monitor appears to have VGA in, just get an amplified VGA splitter/distributor, and cheap VGA cables. Total cost, including all adaptors and cables, maybe $50, if that.

Oh, right, if you only want to mirror the lyrics screen, you can just use a video splitter. but if you want a 3rd screen say to show your own pictures or movies, then you'll need a 3rd display adapter.
