multi monitor programs?


Question

so i've just bought myself an Eyefinity radeon 5870 ... one of these:

2055_p4_12.jpg

assuming that i can populate each of those displayports with a display, what program other than games would make use of a multi monitor setup like this?

like i would like to do something like this:

but with each screen showing something different, and with no video input involved

Ultramon?

I'm not too certain the number of monitors the software supports.

"more than 10"

by the way it seems that there is a mentality here that multi monitor = Ultramon

when that is not the thing i am looking for, have you clicked on the link i posted? i am not looking for a program which makes my windows desktop work on many monitors..........

i am looking for a program which natively supports using many monitors

windows is an operating system, its desktop can go across ?multiple screens

but when i run a program, that program usually only takes up one screen

Why do you need an application to spread across the multiple displays? You've purchased it, so obviously there should have been a purpose behind the initial purchase, or was this just an impulse buy, and you would like to play with it?

it is meant as an upgrade for the existing visual system in a bar

they've got a bunch of huge television screens on the walls, but most of the time they are displaying advertisements

they are planning on brinigng some music events into the pub, and would like to have some visualization on the screens...

rather than a seperate computer for each screen, it would be chaper for one single rig to handle the visuals for all of the screens at once... this wouldnt have been possible hardware-wise before the radeon eyefinity6 cards were released

now i realize that the program i linked to, R4, might be the only one which fits my purpose, so in that case i'll see if i can improvise with other programs somehow, like as long as the programs dont look like a user interface waiting for input, it will do well enough

I DJ and also host karaoke. Generally I take my own monitor for use - but if the venue has a monitor system to jack into, I use that.

I use Winamp's visualisations on the secondary monitors (x number of monitors, connected to show the SAME thing on all monitors).

I use Display Fusion, I love that software.

again, im not looking for something which stretches my taskbar/desktop across multiple screens

i am looking for something which will output something different to each screen... like maybe it sets aside one monitor to show all the UI and controls and stuff, but must output its own stuff to each screen

Ahhhh.

Well, one app is Compuhost - a computer hosting karaoke app. User's desktop is the console, all others are the lyrics.

Also I wrote a "bingo" app for my local pub that outputs to the TV the announcer view, and the PC screen shows the console.

i know its not really cool to ask for this, but do you know a website or forum which is dedicated to people doing commercial visualization?

i've seen people simply play back videos or gif files or whatever and just blend between the videos, but something like realtime 3d would be nice...

the creator of R4 has made a new program called 'Morphyre' but multimonitor is only supported with the copy bundled with a £2500 customized Shuttle system he's not even selling yet...

I have compuhost but on the main monitor it simply duplicates dj screen.  I don't want everything I just want the lyrics

    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the formats of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. We all know that users just use the defaults and almost never change them. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO. Otherwise, shut up and move along.
