Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] Re: Multiple display support


One of the activities from Redding South Observatory is to share the experience of the 14" scope live via a webcast.  Right now I do that by splitting an analog feed from three cameras each used as an electronic eye piece for the 70 mm, 80 mm, and 14" scopes.  It would be very helpful if there was a way to stream an external firewire camera as well.  Would the multiple display solution at least partially address that issue as well?

Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for! I am missing the button: "Turn on full screen live view on external display"

Hm, how could I convince you? I can only promise one extra sale (i.e. mine buy) ;)

But given this discussion thread, there seem to be surprisingly many people beside me, who would like to have a second (full screen) life view for presentation reasons.

Looking forward.
