So...this may not be the best place to find out, but i am pretty sure there's a guru here for this.
Local church contacted me because i'm the "computer guy" for the area..and I'm already setting up their fiber when it is finished installing this week...they have a problem with a 10 year-old projector system they have been using. The laptop that they used with the projector quit, so they purchased a new laptop. All components worked on the older laptop (which had VGA and recognized the device that plugged into it to display on the projectors)
Basically, they want to display powerpoint on both projectors at the same time. Not doing different stuff on them, just have the same thing shown on both at once. That is whatever is on the laptop.
These are mounted in the ceiling and it's higher up..so I couldn't get model numbers. They do have LAN ports, and are Panasonic projectors...
The laptop has HDMI.
The projectors also have HDMI...
So ...I'm wondering if I can daisy chain proj 1 to proj 2 with LAN (does it just run regular ethernet ..no crossover cable or fancy stuff needed??)then, from proj 1, run out with HDMI to a HDMI - CAT6 box, then CAT 6 to the laptop, then back to HDMI??
We wondered about wireless, but having 2 with some sort of wireless adapter, how would you connect to both wireless devices at once with 1 laptop?
I believe they run SDI cable from the projectors to some sort of box that combines them, and out of that is S-video to the box that plugs into the laptop which needed a VGA to HDMI converter to be able to plug into the new laptop (the old laptop had a VGA port, new laptop doesn't).
So..any ideas here?
Laptop to proj 1 + proj 2, same img on both, currently not daisy chained, each one is separately ran to the sound booth, into a component, which outputs S-vid to another component, which plugs into laptop.

Would it be possible to take pictures of the installation? You mention S-Video, I can't imagine mixing in S-Video with HDMI in this scenario.
Getting the output to the projectors could be made easier if this ViewSonic dongle does what it says it does. But it requires WiFi be present and their might be issues with unauthorized users if the WLAN isn't locked down.

If there is already SDI coax run, BlackMagic Designs has the SDI Micro Convertors for $40-$45 that convert from HDMI to SDI and then from SDI to HDMI with an SDI-Loop out so you could daisy-chain the two projectors. They are powered off an available USB port.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

It makes sense, however, I would want more types of restraints, so if one doesn't work, the other does ... the restraints coming over the shoulder I would have expected ... with a Seat belt as last resort.
Fwiw, I inquired with what they use on Coasters at Cedar Point, various Coasters, different restraints according to what the car and track requires ...
NONE of the Coasters at CP use THAT particular system
I'm glad to see ...
