I was wondering, is it possible to connecting 2 external monitors/projectors to a 17inch powerbook?
So to have one projector on the S-Video out and another projector on the DVI out.
Is this possible or is the limit only 1 external monitor?
thank you for any suggestions.

Wow! cool device but $1200 more? I was hoping that because there are 2 video outs on the powerbook that I would be able to run 2 (more) monitors. Did more testing and it does not seem to be able to handle the load I am asking it to do. Also I noticed the PB seems to favor the better quality signal(DVI) over the crappier(S-Video) and leaves you with now way of switching to another external monitor without having to unplug the DVI-connected monitor/projector. Kind of a pain for doing live performance type applications.
Anyone with other suggestions?
