Just mulling over the ways to get touch screens in a number of rooms cost
e=
ffectively. Is anyone running two or more touch screens (of the type you
fi=
t in a car etc) from a single PC with multiple interfaces?

I=92d probably want to run something like MainLobby or my own custom
applic=
ation (designed in Director) on each and connecting to
ACE/Homevision/Comfo=
rt at the back end.

I guess there are a few options like:

*	Terminal services
*	Multiple dual head graphics cards in the PC
*	Multi session software (don=92t know what this is called but I=92ve seen
=
something before =96 allows several instances of Windows to run from one
PC=
)

I guess the multi graphic card option is easy to setup but may be a bit
fla=
key to get the right app running on the right screen?

With the terminal services option =96 what=92s the minimum extra hardware
I=
would need at each screen?

Anyone got any other ideas?

Paul.
