Last night I did a Gig at a Club, Karaoke & DJ Music. I never succeeded in getting the Club's Projector to work so the audience could see the Lyrics. First,I used HDMI out from my Laptop, to a Powered HDMI Splitter, one side HDMI went to a 26" Flat screen TV for the Singers, which worked fine. The other HDMI side went to the Club's Projector which did not recognize it. When it did it swapped my active desktop to the two displays and what I wanted to show on the screens ended up in very high resolution on my laptop.
This was strange, I have never had this happen before. I then converted that other HDMI signal to S-Video for the projector using a powered converter, which did the same thing. I ended up having to use just the Flat screen TV for the singers. I forgot to write down the name and model of the projector. (I need to go up there today or tomorrow and try again). I am going to try and recreate the whole scenario tonight or tomorrow. I will have more exact details then.
I am off today to host my quarterly Blood Drive (Been doing this every year since 1995) after only 3 hours worth of sleep and will be on my feet until 5.00pm this evening so I may just crash when I come back. As stated before I have split signals to all kinds of TVs and Projectors but this is the first time I have had this happen to me. I am using Windows 7.
