Ok weird request here;NCIS makes this look easy.
we've got conference rooms CPU's and projectors or big screens;
one of the screens got replaced, so an extra big screen could be used in the developer "pit"
the idea, and the follow up request, is to make our pit a little like NCIS: if im looking at something, how can i throw an app window to the big screen?
I know of course, if it's tied as an extra monitor to my machine, it's trivial.
I also know i could sit at a CPU that uses that screen, and Remote Desktop to my desktop and show my screen that way.
but has anyone tripped over a program, where i can just "click" something,a nd it's going to show my desktop, or any other developers desktop, instantly like As Seen On TV?
We have a big LCD screen on the wall in our bullpen and some kind of wireless receiver connected to one of the inputs. The transmitter is a USB fob that requires installation of some software and/or drivers on the host computer - we only have one so we have to pass it around. I personally have never used it because only one other person in the room is ever interested in what's on my screen and the 24" monitor is sufficient for two of us to view. I don't know who makes our device or what it's called, but I can look if you're really interested.
