Two monitors, separate rooms.

[Dunny_]

Hi,

I am looking to run tournaments with a separate screen being in the room of the tournament and a screen with my PC in another room. I'm sound with the whole connecting up two monitors etc. I'm using a 280x for this.

However, I want to be able to display say my tournament software on the monitor in that room and control it without the players being able to see what is happening on my main monitor, freeze it almost. Is there a solution to this? I am happy to get any software that could assist me in this.

Press Windows Key + P then select "extend displays" essentially you'll have one large desktop split over 2 screens in different rooms.

What software would you be using and what do you mean control it? PCs dont like having multiple control inputs and typically fight with each other if both are is use at the same time

Thanks for your replies, I don't want to extend the desktop as I want to still be able to use the screen that is by the PC whilst the program is on the other screen. What I mean by control it is use my mouse to click it etc to input results.

TeamPlayer has a product to allow keyboard/mouse binding to each screen connected to 1 pc. their may be other options but i think that is what you wanted.

Thanks for the that. Team player isnt quite what I'm after.
I'm finding it hard to explain. I want the tournament software on the screen in the other room without the players being able to see what I'm doing on my other screen. So extending the screen won't work. But I still want to be able to click the tournament software. Like a screen within a screen option.
Thank you everyone who's replied.
