Dual Screens from Laptop (Optishot 2) NEED HELP!

[el2ok1217]

Whats going on everyone, So I am finally wrapping up my garage build. (Running a Optishot 2 simulator with a custom made stance pad for it, Spectrum Golf 8ft X 7FT POLY SPACER impact Screen MATERIAL screen and a ViewSonic PS501X Short throw projector from Amazon. ) So I have my laptop connected to my projector and TV screen. However I am having issues with having my laptop being able to display the optishot on both my projector and tv. I can only have my pc duplicate one of the extra screens and not both. My pc is only a few years old and running an NVidia GeForce 940Mx graphics card. However i am having a very difficult time setting up the display for both my projector and tv. Any help with this would greatly be appreciated. Here are a few photos from the beginning stages until now

Can you give us your laptop specs. Maybe like the website from Dell or HP. I am guessing you only have one video out port like HDMI or VGA?

Thanks for taking the time to help me out with this.

My laptop has a VGA,hdmi and USB type c port, which is where I am running my adapter.

Hello Preludesam, Thanks for responding. Sure thing. I have attached a photo of my pc specs and adapter I am currently using on my laptop.

It's easier to just show you. This is an unlisted link so only this link will access the video. You cannot search and find it on YouTube. Hope this helps.

preludesam Thank you for taking the time to make that video. It did help me with duplicating the Projector and Tv screen, but now the issue i am having is for the program Optishot to open in full screen on the secondary monitor. I have made the change within the optishot settings to open the program as windowed, then i try to move it over to the secondary monitors (Projector and TV) but unfortunately it does not allow me to go into full screen.

preludesam I have also shot a video showing my adjustment I made to the PC display settings. I am now just trying to figure out how I can open up Optishot to fullscreen on the secondary monitors (Projector and Tv)

preludesam *Update* I ended up ordering a HDMI Splitter from Amazon and will test it out tomorrow to see if this helps with the full screen on both screens.

preludesam How's it going, Hope all is well. So I just wanted to give you an update (Been busy with work to get back on this project) lol. So the HDMI Splitter worked for me. I was able to run one of the HDMI to the projector and one to the TV and they both now will simultaneously cast my optishot. Thanks again for your assistance and shoot me over that video. Here is the final look of the setup.

Yep, I had to run an HDMI splitter for both my projectors.

[preludesam]

Awesome man it looks great!

[el2ok1217]

Jeff Tilley Yea originally i thought I would be able to run them off two different outputs directly from my laptop but it was not working. The HDMI splitter seemed to do the job. lol

2 1/2 years ago I had an optishot. Their software would only allow mirrored/cloned output. You could NOT use it in an extended desktop situation.

[el2ok1217]

Jason Penner Oh wow that's crazy! lol. Unfortunately Sky Trak was out of my budget when putting this build together, However, I do plan to upgrade within the next year to it.

I tried everything with the optishot ( calibration, 15-20 different types of lights 3-4 different kinds of tape for clubs) in the end i used it maybe 15 times and sat in the box for 4 years.
