All, I have a HUGE project that requires two computers to be controlled at the exact same time (specs below). In short, each computer will run a separate presentation. When the presenter is ready to continue he/she hits the button (presentation switch/mouse/some kind of I/O device) and both computers must change at the same time.
The total presentation will consist of 6 hrs. of mpeg2 and multiple film loops (per computer). I've already worked out the mpeg2 playback and the non-stop motion backgrounds (filmloops), the biggest problem I'm running into is how to control both computers at the same time. Initial thought was one USB (switch i.e. mouse) fed into each computer. I was informed that USB wouldn't work that way and there are no USB splitters that are made to be used that way. What I'm stuck on now is an Infrared Presentation Switch...two of the same model using a receiver at each computer and only one of the switches. My question is, is there a way to do this via Lingo instead (i.e. one presentation switch controlling one computer and Lingo feeding a command to the second computer via Ethernet/USB or something)? Specs: Computers: 3.0 Ghz Processor / 2Gb ram / WinXP Pro Software: DirMX Any and all ideas are extremely welcome.
