 Re: fit-PC3 Pro Win7Pro dual monitor usage question
Hi,
Is that possible to use both monitors with 1080p video contents? I mean, two independent HD videos, one on hdmi, one on displaylink port.
Or which fit-pc3 version supports this playback dual HD content?
Thanks, István

Thanks, István I haven't tried watching two videos at once. I've only been using my fit-PC3 with two independent desktops while I work. I've watched video on only once screen at a time. Maybe someone else can comment on whether this works.

 Re: fit-PC3 Pro Win7Pro dual monitor usage question
Don't forget that the fit-PC3 only has 1 group of audio outputs.
In theory, you could use one of the USB2 or USB3 ports for additional audio output via a dongle. Some are pretty cheap.
Sorry that I can't comment on using both video output with Full HD 1080p streams at the same time.

 Re: fit-PC3 Pro Win7Pro dual monitor usage question
Thank you for your help!
As I think about this question, my opinion, GPU can only decode one HD stream at a time, so acceleration should work only for one stream. Thank you again! István

No, I am sorry, the FitPC3 is unable to plat HD content on both video interfaces simultaneously

We haven't tested this card yet.

 Re: fit-PC3 Pro Win7Pro dual monitor usage question
As a follow up to my original post, I just added a Rosewill RCAD-11002 USB to HDMI Adapter to my fit-PC3 Pro. I now have 3 LCDs up and running which is my preferred work environment. The 3rd LCD I added only has a DVI-D connector so I had to use an HDMI/DVI adapter and was pleasantly surprised to find it worked just fine.

 Re: fit-PC3 Pro Win7Pro dual monitor usage question
Gabriel i think that we have the same problem. We can drive a true displayport monitor but not an HDMI TV using a Startech DP/HDMI adapter. Please could you provide a reference to a suitable cable that is available in the UK? The link you have provided is shipped from China after 25 days (maybe). Thanks Daniel
