Title: Media PC - Multiple monitors/terminals...
Post by: Bunce on June 19, 2006, 02:02:56 PM
Does anyone know of any products that can help create the following situation:

1 Media PC in a room.

1 Monitor and keyboard and mouse in each other room connected the computer

Not a remote connection...
Needs to be more like an exention of the monitor/mouse&keyboard, but more than 1 :)

Let me know if you can help please :)

there are a few 2.4GHz wireless keyboards and mice, and a couple that work on bluetooth. These should all get much better range than your typical wireless mice/kb...

If you're into running cables you can get KVM switches I think which let you plug a number of mice/kb/monitor sets into one end, run a single fat cable, and plug that into the pc at the other end ... this could also possibly be used to put the wireless receivers of your wireless mice/kb in new positions...


not done this myself but sounds interesting :)

p.s. the monitor option might have to be some sort of little transmitter/video streamer that you can receive on either monitor?

Problem is a KVM Switch is multiple computers to 1 screen... i need it to be multiple screens to 1 computer...

A KVM Splitter is what i'm after... but all the KVM Spliiters i've seen are JUST monitors, i need to get multiple keyboards and mice into that scenario too...
