Thanks to the advanced DualDisplay drivers it's possible to choose between an unified screen space or a true multiple head solution compatible with any kind of multi display application.

The DualDisplay cable connects VTBook directly to one VGA and one DVI display (dual VGA is not supported) bringing the total number of displays connected to the notebook to three (if the notebook has an external video output), for a grand total of four displays including the notebook's internal LCD.

This cable is 1.8m (5.9 feet) long and is designed to be directly connected to the displays. At one end of the cable you can find the DVI-I connector, that plugs into VTBook, and at the other end of the dual cable you can see two male connectors, one VGA and one DVI-D, to plug into the displays.
Village Tronic developed two different drivers that make the best use out of the cable with different features:

DualDisplay Resolutions
Each display connected to VTBook is represented in Windows by a different, independent screen. Displays can be arranged in any position.
This arrangement best suits applications that need multiple separate screens to work properly, as for example financial ones.

Available resolutions:

All resolutions on the VTBook specs not bigger than 1280x1024@60Hz at 16bpp.

Virtual DualDisplay Resolutions
The two displays connected to VTBook are tied together to form an unique screen.
This arrangement best suits applications that are not designed to work with multiple displays and place all windows in one big enclosing window. A Virtual DualDisplay resolution can trick these applications to use more than one display without knowing.

VT MultiDisplay is the ultimate companion for any Windows multi display users both on desktops and laptops.

VT MultiDisplay is an extremely useful Windows utility that extends the operating system's multi display support with a wide range of features, including extended window management, smart taskbar, multi display desktop wallpapers and many more.

VT MultiDisplay enables you to quickly and effectively manage multiple screen configurations: it integrates perfectly with Windows and it is highly customizable for your needs. It is compatible with with Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Server 2003 and, currently with limited capabilities, with Windows Vista. 64bit versions are supported as well

This is a description of some of the most useful features in VT MultiDisplay. Many more features are available as well.

Window management

Quickly move windows between monitors or maximize a window to the desktop using the additional window buttons added by VT MultiDisplay.
Additional window buttons in VTMD
VT MultiDisplay adds two useful buttons to the standard Windows window buttons
VTMD maximize to desktop button
The Maximize to desktop button enlarges the window to the whole desktop size, covering all available displays.
VTMD Move window button
The Move window button conveniently moves the window to a screen of your choice. Even if the window is maximized!

 

Desktop Wallpaper

The VT MultiDisplay wallpaper manager adds the ability to use a different picture on each monitor, or stretch a single picture across the desktop.

Smart taskbar extended to four displays

Smart Taskbar

VT MultiDisplay adds an additional taskbar for each secondary monitor, and each taskbar only shows tasks from the monitor it is on. This makes managing lots of open applications much easier, and when activating an application, you'll know on which monitor it will appear.

Application positioning

Use the VT MultiDisplay tabs added to a shortcut's properties to set an application's position or use custom display settings when the application is running.

VTMD Application positioning preferences

Display profiles

With display profiles, you can quickly change the settings of one or more monitors. You can also create a display profile that gets applied when logging in, especially useful when the computer is used by more than one person, and not everyone wants to use the same display settings.

Screen savers

Most screen savers only run on the primary monitor. VT MultiDisplay can blank the secondary monitors when the screen saver is running, or run additional screen savers on secondary monitors.

Mirroring

Mirror the primary monitor on one or more secondary monitors, for example when doing a presentation. A unique feature is support for different resolutions, the primary monitor can run at a higher resolution for example. Mirroring is only available on Windows 2000 and XP.

 


 

VT Voilà

Product link: http://www.villagetronic.com/vtvoila/index.html

Short description

VT Voilà is a suite of interface enhancements for Mac OS X that considerably speeds up user interaction with large (and very large) screen configurations. It features pointer jump and scaled multiscreen overview and is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later. It's Universal Binary.

Longer description

VT Voilà is a suite of interface enhancements that considerably speeds up user interaction with large (and very large) screen configurations.
We recognized two main problems the multi display user must face:

  • Mouse pointer traveling time (and space on desk as a side effect).
  • Lost items, that can be the mouse pointer or the current task or the next task he wants to switch to.

Moreover, if the user is working on one or more panned screens (even more space available!), another problem may arise:

  • Some screen real estate is temporarily hidden.

VT Voilà is a simple yet effective solution for these inconveniences. However, we have to admit that there is a major drawback in VT Voilà: it is highly addictive. We have observed customers that, while forced to use other computers, were frantically hitting the VT Voilà hot keys trying to make their cursors jump. Even on single screen systems!

VT Voilà is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later. It's Universal Binary.

VT Voilà teaser

Main VT Voilà features:

Voilà - Never lose the overview! Voilà presents all your screen space in an overview as little as you wish and you are just one click away from any pixel of your humongous multi display setup!

Hey! - Never lose your mouse pointer again!

Jump! - Cover any distance on screen instantaneously! Make your mouse pointer jump between all the useful locations you need in no time: you won’t even need a single click!
