Multiple monitor same display?

[techonova]

I have an hp workstation with a video card with two DVI outputs. I need to view the video output simultaneously on two TFT monitors that have only DVI inputs. A suggested solution is to get a 1X2 DVI splitter. Is such a thing available in Delhi and where? What is the likely cost? Is there a liklihood of any signal loss on splitting? What will be the solution for that?
If it is necessary to know then one of the monitors will be approximately 3-4 mts from the cabinet.

For some peculiar requirement I wish to keep the monitor, keyboard and mouse approximately 8 - 10 mtrs from the cabinet. Wires need to be drawn as bluetooth, wifi are not the allowed solutions. What must I do?

Thanx in advance

use both outputs from the video card with a standard dvi lcd monitor and clone the outputs..... you can do this either by the videocard software or my personal favourite using ultramon which is by far the best multi-mon app you can get the free trial which is 30days I think or acquire through less legal methods

Thanx Salty
It worked like a dream!! U did set me on the right track. Ultramon and maxivista demo did not have the cloning/ mirror facility but tweaking videocard settings worked.

How about helping me with the next query?
I want to extend the standard 2 mtr keyboard and mouse cable to about 15 mtrs. What should I do?

You can buy PS/2 extenders for that purpose. If they're USB, though, I'm not sure how long of an extender you'll be able to find.

if theyre usb, just get a usb hub and a 15ft cable.

if theyre ps2, get the above and a usb-ps2 converter

ultramon can clone I am doing it right now................... nvm though if you videocard standard software can there is obviously no issue.

why do you want to have two images displaying the same picture???

I would use a wireless keyboard for thos sort of distances as people tend to trip on cables if trailed along the floor

Thanx Greg, BMX,
will try that and report back.

Salty,
something wrong with my downloaded copy of u'mon. Two monitors same image - one for an operator and the other on the larger screen for the presentation. Thanx for the assist.
