How do I setup dual monitors with HDMI Splitter?
Plug the HDMI splitter into an HDMI port located at the side or on the back of your TV. Next, connect the HDMI devices into open HDMI splitter ports (source devices). Remember, you will only be able to plug in one or two sources into your HDMI splitter. Turn on your TV and all sources connected to your HDMI splitter.
Can you play MP4 on two different monitors?
I have two monitors connected to the PC – 1 in HDMI and 1 in DP1. When I play with mpv, the content only shows on one screen. When I play with mplayer, the same content is mirrored to both screens. Ideally I would like to simultaneously play different mp4 files (short 10-30 second) on different monitors – in a digital signage fashion.
How many monitors can I drive from one DisplayPort?
In the example configuration shown in the picture below, the Lenovo ThinkPad notebook (center) drives three external monitors in a daisy chain configuration from a single DisplayPort output (as well as its own internal display). Notice in this example that the monitors are of different sizes and resolutions.
What happens if I run MPlayer at the same time?
When mpv plays video on one card it blocks the connector and the card, so running another instance of mpv on the same card will result in ‘access denied’ error. But, surprisingly, you can run mplayer at the same time when mpv is running. mpv blocks one output and mplayer uses another one that’s still available.
How does one DisplayPort output connect to another?
The DisplayPort output connects to the next downstream display. This cabling arrangement, with one DisplayPort cable between each set of monitors, provides a less cluttered system configuration.
