Hi everyone,
I want to send the images from my video card to two monitors: one inside
our recording chamber (for the subject) and one to a monitor outside the
chamber (for the experimenter). The monitor inside the chamber will be a
fast CRT monitor while the monitor outside will be a slow TFT. The
low-budget solution would be to connect the video card to a
VGA-splitter, which in turn is connected to the two monitors.
My question is: how is timing handled in this situation? Can I still
present stuff on the CRT monitor at a fast rate (say 120 Hz) with
reliable synchronization with the CRT vertical refresh? Timing on the
TFT does not really matter, and it does not need to be in precise sync
with the CRT.
Or would a dual output video card solve the problem?
Any help is appreciated!
Niko
