Hello all,

I have this kinda wild idea and wonder if it could be done.
I'm wondering if i can let opus use dual screens, and have different content on the screens. For example have a selection / search screen on the first, and the results on the second. Or show some commercials on the second while users navigate through on the first screen?

They'll need to communicatie with each other, so i guess that it should be one presentation, occupying both screens...

Well, some ideas about this concept ? Thanks!

What if you make your content twice normal screen size i.e. side by side on edit - then use two screens output from your PC.

Stretch the image across both screens so it Appears to be two?

We used to use 2 screens side by side with the image stretched over them for video editing until we bought a large widescreen LCD monitor to replace them.

There is no reason why you should not make your pages twice the normal

width so they display on both monitors. I know several users are doing

this. One customer has a special Multi-head graphics card and is running

Opus pages at 3xsize to cover an array of 9 monitor.

Regards

The customer with the 9 screen array was about a year ago so not exactly fresh in my mind but what did you want to know.

But can it automatically be full screen on both screens. Mostly windows only handles this when programs are windowed.

If you have your screens set to extended desktop the publication should span both monitors or however many monitors you have.
