<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Allen</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes I am asking about Twinview, with a twist, that
is it is on two separate video cards instead of the more usual duplicate output
from the same card (I hope I am correct here) and yes it is also
asking them to each display two different resolutions. I was not expecting
the configure program to include two graphics cards, however I have no
idea... As you say I may well end up trying this and reporting on the
results.</FONT></DIV>

like to achieve simultaneous composite and component video output from a HD
server box, HD component for a local CRT HD monitor<BR>and composite video
out for a distribution system, so the content can be simultaneously
broadcast to multiple TV's via a stereo RF<BR>modulator. (Why?
Because I like to watch something while moving and living in multiple
rooms!)<BR><BR>I plan to use an 8500GT Video card, as best I can tell this
can only do one or the other, but not both component and
composite<BR>output.<BR><BR>I am considering adding a second video card,
necessarily PCI, perhaps 5200, 6 or 7 series card depending on what I can
find. Maybe<BR>even a new 8400?<BR><BR>Has anyone done anything like
this and will it work attempting to coordinate two video cards with the same
content, one (sometimes<BR>downscaled) from the other?<BR><BR>An alternative
(much more expensive) option would be to use a AV receiver that takes a
composite downscale from the component<BR>signal - and distribute that.
The former seems more sensible and I think would probably give a
better pocket experience as well as<BR>a quality video signal.<BR><BR>Any
comments and experiences welcomed!<BR><BR>Kind

<DIV>What you are asking about is twinview. However, I have had trouble
with it trying to get different resolutions on the two screens so I don't use
it. You might give it a try though. You can experiment with the
nvidia configure program.</DIV>
