Fw: Running multiple touchscreens from one PC

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Similar to what I want. I would like whole house audio control (via
browser) with all the amplification and switching done in N0. Speakers in
each room go back to N0.

Or the touchscreen (7" etc) as you state. Not seen anything suitable
so
far.

[ukha_d] Running multiple touchscreens from one PC
.
Category:




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

I?d probably want to run something like MainLobby or my own custom
application (designed in Director) on each and connecting to
ACE/Homevision/Comfort 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?t know what this is called
but I?ve seen something before ? 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
flakey to get the right app running on the right screen?

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

Anyone got any other ideas?

Paul.
