Dual Screens with Termlab
He guys, does anyone here use a laptop for running events? If so how do you get the laptop to output to 2 monitors, 1 for each lane? I mean beyond the promoter package of course.

Well unless your laptop is a Sony VIAO it should be able to run its internal screen and an external monitor. Now you can add a 2nd monitor with a splitter (which has an internal signal booster) or a Y video cable and run the risk of too weak a signal.
I like to run my smaller shows with a laptop rather than a desktop just due to the ease of transport and usage. Fair warning the Termlab program DOES NOT like it if your computer centrino goes into a power-save shutdown (crash and F'in burn the Termlab episode and you may get the privilege of re entering the Termlab password). |

I dont do dual lanes (I am not dbdrag) and I dont 'think' you can run independent images off a single computer... I could be wrong

for 60 or 70 some odd dollars tigerdirect.ca has a box that plugs into the usb abd lets you have a vga, s-video or rca output. its in the cables and adapters catagory.
