    Screencasting (of a kind)

    Looking for some IT-techie advice...

    Imagine an office arranged like a roman galley, two columns of seated front-to-front (not exactly rows) either side, with a central spinal division. At the end the of each column, a large blank wall. At one end of the spine, a prime space for a drum-beater/commander (i.e. me)

    I'm looking to setup two projectors to cast to the end walls, assume position with a laptop, and cast lessons in-situ as people sit at their workstations... all because our meeting room setup, whilst big-TV equipped, aren't best suited for "at computer" learning (limited space/laptops/wireless/etc).

    Software/hardware wise, how might I best "cast" my laptop to the two projectors?

    Leads are out of the question (pragmatically speaking, and would require an hdmi splitter, etc) but the projectors could readily be connected to (on network) PCs.

    This wouldn't be a fixed installation, (the projectors go on travels) so it'd need to be a fairly quick-setup.

    I'd only be doing desktop content - no film/media, so FPS issues not a concern - but I'd obviously want to retain sight of my laptop's screen (so RDC is off, no?)

    And ideas? I'm sure some there must be some folk here privvy to some big-boy-toy-office-setups running similar.

    :thumbsup:

    Put the lightest, cheapest, lowest powered NUC that Intel makes, at each projector. "Screencast" over Gotomeeting, or (super cheap) over Skype for Business. I mean, if you want to be fast, flexible, movable, and uncomplicated, that gets you there on the cheap.

        Revisiting for responses I've remembered we've actually a couple of Lenovo stick PCs that would be perfect for such!

        No/not yet - purely cos, I've no experience of them - but I love my Steam Link (at home) so maybe that too is an option? Though I've no experience/idea if they can link to two at a time.
