Using 2 monitors
« on: August 29, 2009, 02:54:07 AM »
I have a client (restaurant) one PC and 2 monitors (LCDTV and PC Monitor). I use the PC to run the billing application and would like to run the signage application on the TV. Is it possible to run both applications together. I tried using remote extended desktop it works , but then both signage and application always opens in the same monitor!!!. Any idea on better way of getting this solved?

Of course you can use two monitors (or more) with our system. However these need to be dedicated Monitors which you can not use while the Signage presentation is running.

Can you be a little more specific, I also have a client who wants to have 2 monitors in his store, running two separate ad loops, the monitors will only be used for the ads and I can't figure out how to do this without putting in a second PC.
Thanks

Please watch this video:

You will need a Video card that supports multiple monitors.
