<Moved> Media Center to multiple TVs.

Jimbo13 · 09-29-2008, 02:38 AM

I'm turning A old PC in to A media center.

AMD64 2.8 gig
4 gigs memory
ATI2600 HD pro (outs: 2 dvi and A s-video)
On board Realtek sound & A SBlive audio card.
I haven't bought a TV capture yet.

My graphics card does support multiple displays.

If I connect the DVI and my onboard sound to my HDTV and the Sound blaster and S-Video out to another TV can two different people be watching different sources at the same time?

Doubtful but I'll move your question so the experts can respond.

No, not that I know of. You can select dualview, clone, or single view. dualview they will be independant screens but the same desktop, clone it will be the same on both, single is self explanitory.

That's for nvidia, ATi may be different.
