I am developing an educational software solution where I need to clone the screen of one computer on 5 or 6 LCD screens. The screens would be 15-20 feet apart.
Is there any hardware or software that can help me do this? Each screen will just replicate the screen of the computer. I basically need to split and duplicate the video & audio signal.
I need the solution for Windows or Linux (any one) on the computer. The cloned display screens have no software - they are just LCD TVs.

I have a big monitor in my office that in mounted to the wall. I want to automatically run a slideshow on the screen each day (like first of all Dashboard 1 is shown, then Dashboard 2 is shown, then it switches to Dashboard 3 in PowerBI and then it starts again with Dashboard 1).
Is there any kind of software that I could use for that?
Computer is running on Windows 10. I want to keep effort for running these screens as low as possible.
Thanks a lot!
Hi there to those whoever can read this. I'm currently working on a Ultrasonic Distance Sensor with the distance information displayed on a LCD Screen in Tinkercad. In my first try, I successfully made the LCD screen display information but on the second, it doesn't despite the two being exact copies of each other.
Working Device: My first try.
Not Working Device: Second attempt
The reason I want to successfully replicate my device is for a Robotics video school project. Is the physical components that I made a mistake in or is it due to code? Thanks.
Hi I was wondering is there a preexisting piece of software (free or paid) that would allow people attending an event to browse content like photos, pdfs and video on a touchscreen. It needs to prevent them from clicking off the filebrowser onto the desktop etc.
I tried modifying the homescreen on a lenovo touchscreen running windows 8 but it doesn't seem very intuitive to people who have never used windows 8 before.
I've started doing Windows 8 Store app development for some projects at work, but I do not have a touch screen device of my own at home. If I write a personal app for submission to the store, I must use my own hardware since I can't use the work computers for personal projects. My concern is getting into a situation where I submit an app to the store, then have touch-screen users describing issues that I can't replicate on a non-touch-screen device.
Are there any functions or capabilities or interactions that behave differently in a Windows 8 store app when using touch vs. using only a mouse? Are there any scenarios I could encounter where I would be at a loss to reproduce or troubleshoot a user's problems if I do not have a touch screen?
As Konstantin suggested, a tablet is strongly recommended.
The next best thing is to use the device simulator in Visual Studio. It will let you change screen sizes, and allows you to simulate basic touch gestures with the mouse. This MSDN link has more info: Testing Windows 8 apps using Visual Studio 2012
Microsoft have introduced events that are pointer agnostic meaning that they should function the same way regardless of whether you are using a touchscreen, a mouse or a pen. Those are the MSPointer events. Here's some documentation. Using event handlers for these events mean that you should not be getting complaints from users about the touch friendliness of your application. However I still strongly suggest that you acquire a surface and test your application on it. Not just for the touch friendliness but also because of performance differences.
If you have seen a Dell XPS in actions you probably have noticed its nice media buttons above the normal keyboard:

They are flashing when the notebook is starting and when you touch them.
Does anybody know how to make these buttons flash programmatically?
I had an old IBM laptop that had a keyboard light LED mounted in the top of the LCD frame (where the iSight is on a MacBook or MacBook Pro). I found that I could access this light via /proc/acpi under Linux.
I wrote a simple script that flashed the light on and off by interacting with /proc. There's a posting on my blog with the code.
You might want to try running an Ubuntu live CD and seeing if it detects the buttons, and if you can access them via /proc. A quick search showed that the newer XPS systems work out of the box with Ubuntu, so it'd be a good starting point.
