  syncing 3 monitors to one video.

  Posted by Dennis Lloyd on November 9, 2009 at 7:31 pm

  Newbie here… I want 3 32″ 720p monitors to play back the same video, all synced up. Do I get a distribution amp? I got a Mac mini to play the video. Recommendations?

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, a distribution amplifier is the way to go. Do you intend to use VGA or DVI from the Mac Mini?

  The Mac mini has the mini-dsiplay port so DVI to HDMI.

  Using DVI or HDMI means you need something more sophisticated than a simple DA. Gefen makes some nice DVI products, and I believe they have an HDMI splitter that might suit you.

  Something like this should work?

  That looks like it should do it, though I’ve never heard of that brand.
