Probably a daft question, sorry

[Patrick Neame]

We're thinking about going for an Apple TV set up at the theatre so
that we can show pictures from our shows on a loop in the bar on a
large screen TV. I can get my head round that but here's the daft
question:

Could we also send a different slide show, say a Keynote presentation
with names and dates for forthcoming shows, to a projector or a second
TV. I assume one TV would use the HDMI port and the other TV/projector
would take its signal from the phono sockets. We don't need sound. In
essence I suppose I'm asking if I could partition the hard drive or
take feeds from two different computers.

Sorry, I was asked the question and I'm completely unfamiliar with
Apple TV.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Patrick

I don't believe it's possible to do this as there's no way I can think
of of being able to split the signal to the different outputs.

Thanks, I said I'd ask.

A lot of Tv's nowadays have a USB port which you could use for the
bar. Put on the images you want shown on a thumb drive and put the TV
in sldeshow mode (most HDTV's offer this). It's a minimal spend for
this and easy to update (just add/replace photos)
That way you can use something else or the second batch of screens.
Perhaps more USB drives if that suits the use. If you want music, you
may need a mac mini or something like that to put out the other display.

You could use separate Apple TVs synced to different albums in iphoto
via iTunes though. So this could be an alternative solution.

QLab & a Mac with suitable video outputs is another 'non-cheap' option unless you have a Mac to put into service.
