DVI/VGA Monitor Switcher Needed

Post by **Neil** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 8:34 pm

Hi Guys!

I'm working on building a good test bed, and I need a hardware switcher that will let me hook a single computer up to more than one S-3D monitor/HMD solution.

However, while I find a lot of devices to hook up multiple computers to a single monitor, it's hard to find something the other way around. Any ideas? Product names?

Thanks in advance,
Neil

So. Did you get one?

I'm looking for a similar setup until my 8800 is fully supported.

I asked my IT dept. at work and they said to get a KVM switch and clone the monitor. I'm not exactly sure they understood my question and since I don't have a kvm switch I can't try it. Somehow I don't think this would work.

Are the 3D displays supposed to have different output formats?
If all were e.g. side by side or over under or Pageflipp you might be lucky with one more Y-cable. Maybe you could build one. It might be possible, but a LOT of work (only 15 small wires in a cable?).

Maybe the KVM switch is exactly the same thing I wanted to build. If it transports all DDC and other informations (cloned them), maybe the computer wouldn't even know there were multiple screens...

A problem could be the power provided by the cable and needed by the Displays
