I looked up your video card on ati site. I have attached the users manual. The way it reads you can't connect 2 computer monitors and the tv at the same time.

Are there any Dual Display Cards that can do this.

Seems like when using two tv's in extended mode, using an s-video to RCA adapter, and then a Y signal splitter should work if the tv's have RCA video inputs, which most tv's have these days.

I use a s-video to RCA adapter with RCA cable to the tv and it works fine. Don't see that adding a splitter and another tv should make any difference.

Both the s-video to RCA adapter and the Y signal splitter are available through Radio Shack.

I think they are using both vga outputs out of the computer. One for the host and one for the singer. With most video cards you can't use two vga outputs and the svideo all together. I have a shuttle computer and you can't use the svideo if you have two vga monitors hooked to the computer. Check this item out at Tiger Direct, It should let you do what you need to.

I think you misunderstood what I said.

Don't use the vga outputs.

Use just the the svideo output with the svideo/rca adapter and a Y splitter for the two tv's. Then they'd have the program on the pc and singer's screens in extended desktop on two tv's...right?

The tv's must have RCA video inputs to do that.

That's what I do with one tv. Adding a simple Y splitter for the second tv should make no difference...

Whatever, just a suggestion.

Right.

As I recall, my ATI Radeon 7500 came with the svideo/RCA adapter. Don't know if they still do that or not. It's been three years or so since I got it, and times change
