Description MultiPresenter is a novel presentation system designed to run on high-resolution or multiple displays. It allows the presenter to organize and present pre-made and dynamic presentations that take advantage of multiple projectors accessed from a personal laptop. Using MultiPresenter the instructor can easily: · compare between two slides · Have an entire slide or selected clipped information persistent longer on one screen · Easily refer back to previously shown information · Have a problem slide on one side while showing the solution on the other side · Show an overview slide on one side while going over the detail slides on the other side · Show two or four slides back on the second screen
Hardware and Software Requirements In order to run MultiPresenter, all that is required in the lecture hall are two projectors that can be accessed via two VGA (or DVI) cables. To connect to two projectors from a single laptop, a simple USB to VGA adapter is needed. One that I recommend is the UV Plus 16 by EVGA. You can buy it here. Currently, MultiPresenter only runs on Windows XP or Vista operating systems. Before running MultiPresenter, you have to set-up the external screens to be in extended desktop mode, with the primary display (your laptop) the left most display. So your display settings window should look something like this:
