Can I hook up a video output device (doc-cam, etc) to a computer and split it across 2 screens?

I'm trying to hook up the output image of a document camera (Elmo P10) across 2 screens (half of the image on the left screen; half on the right screen). I'm not quite sure how to do that. Is there a video capture card that will accept this output and then display it onto a dual-monitor system?|||It's up to your video card and driver. Check the documentation, else, you'll have to buy another video card, mine is an nVidia 6200 and does that.|||yes you can split the video into two screens provided it is supported by your video card, the type of software used.

Go through the manual. There is a PNY graphic card which will support this feature.|||just install right software and visit download.com.|||take two video out puts and plug one in each.|||To output the video to different displays your video card must have multi-display feature.check documentation or manufacturer's website for more info about your card.mine card is nvidia 6200 tc and it have nView technology which supports multi monitors.|||Yes, this is doable, if your graphics card allows for it. Do as the others suggest and check your documentation, or call the manufacturer. If it doesn't support this then you may want to consider purchasing a new card that does and exchanging it with the one you currently have. This is not a difficult task to do, but if you don't have the proper experiance feel free to call for help, like your local "geeks squad". These folks are easily found in the phone book or online.



Good luck in getting this setup properly in your system. It is a lot of fun!!
