Hey guys,
I'm currently planning my HTPC and have the idea, to control it via a small touchscreen that shows a clone of the portal. Also, I want to be able to control currently played music (so also see, which track is playing etc.) without turning on my LCD-TV. The problem is that a small touchscreen cannot display 1920x1080 resolution, which makes the cloning nearly impossible. Then I've read about a software called "Ultramon" that claims to make it possible, but limits its abilities when it comes to video playback (not totally, but they say it depends on the software...). Would MediaPortal work with either that or another software that can achieve such a "clone"? Or can I benefit from the fact, that MediaPortal runs in Direct3D fullscreen mode, so that my graphics card can render the portal twice (for each panel with different resolution)? Or do you have any other cool ideas?
Regards, siGGi_
