3 monitors to 1 comp

[spkenn5]

hey guys, i jus bought 2 monitors and here how i want it to work..




COMP - Screen 1 - Projector - Screen 2 - Screen 3

so far i am able to hook a screen 1 to projector and to screen 2.. using a extension cable.. i wonder how do i hook the 3rd monitor to the projector/comp without gettin another video card..

and i wonder is there a program to be used for presentation other than microsoft powerpoint, i want it to be alive.. ( 3D animations, movie scene or maybe some scenery )

thanks guys

I think you can do this with something called a Vga splitter.

Picture here.....

That model shown on link has...
1 Input from your computer and 4 output for your monitors.

that'd be good!! or is there other way?

and how about the software?

Hi,

I dont know if theres any other ways of doing it unless someone can say otherwise here.

And i dont think it needs software for it either.

The only card on the market that I know of that can do that is the Matrox Parhelia. I don't think you want to shell out that kind of cake though.

There are other ways, but why?
No software is necessary.

Be careful with the distances that you are using the VGA cables over. There is a limitation, (like 50 feet or something, I don't know) that you can't go over.

what exactly are you trying to do

if you just want to duplicate the screen then a splitter will work but if you wanna them all to be seperate screen youll need another vidcard
