Question Splitting a display to two monitors with different resolutions.

[cds333]

I have a HTPC that outputs to a 1080 screen. I want to split this 3 ways so I can have the display in two other rooms as well. The screens in the other rooms are smaller and only support 720.

How would I accomplish this without lowering the resolution of the main screen?

Thanks!

How many and what kind of display outputs does your HTPC have? What inputs do the two 720p displays have?

Two outputs on the video card. DVI and HDMI or DP i think. I have adapters tho so it is flexible.

The main TV monitor is a modern 32" smart TV, the smaller monitors are like 19" with VGA and/or DVI.

FYI both displays are already run to splitters, its just that the second one does not need to feed a HD tv so it runs fine with a cheap old VGA splitter. So I cannot utilize the second output to drive the low-res screens exclusively.

Originally I had them both split, and when I wanted to watch a movie in HD I would disconnect the lower-res monitors from the splitter and it would allow the main screen to be HD. I am trying to avoid having to do that.

I was hoping for a device that can convert a signal from HD to low-res, that I could install maybe between two splitters or something.

HDMI to the 1080p TV, DVI with splitter to both 720p TVs. If you want them all to display the same image set your multi monitor setting to duplicate/mirror the displays rather than extend them.
