I have the above system. I need to display from my computer onto two tvs.
One has rca and s video in the other only has a video in. This is for movie watching.
I prever to watch the movies on the tv screens and still have my computer to browse.

In the past on xp my problem was what ever was on the computer was on the tvs. So i had to just watch the flick. I want to have them independant and since getting 7 i can't do it.

cards on xp were 32 bit, my new windows is 64

Thanks for your time and attention

To display content from your computer onto two TVs with different inputs while keeping them independent so you can watch movies on the screens and still use your computer for browsing, you can use a combination of hardware and software configuration. Here's how you can achieve this:

Hardware Requirements:​

  1. Video Card: You will need a video card that supports dual monitors or multiple displays.
  2. Video Output Ports: Ensure your video card has suitable outputs for connecting to both TVs (e.g., HDMI, VGA, DVI).
  3. Connectivity Cables: Get the necessary cables to connect your computer to the TVs based on their inputs (RCA, S-Video, etc.).

  3. Connectivity Cables: Get the necessary cables to connect your computer to the TVs based on their inputs (RCA, S-Video, etc.).

    Software Configuration Steps:​

  4. Setting up Multiple Displays:
    • Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings" (for Windows 10 and later) or "Screen resolution" (for Windows 7).
    • Click on "Detect" to identify the connected displays.
    • Configure each screen independently by selecting "Extend these displays" option.
    • Drag and drop the displays in the window to match their physical placement.
    • Adjust resolution and orientation as needed.

      Specific Steps for Windows 7:​

    []Independent Displays:
    • In Windows 7, you can achieve dual independent displays by using the "Extend these displays" option in the display settings.
    [
    ]Driver Compatibility:
    • Make sure the video card in your Windows 7 PC has updated drivers compatible with the 64-bit system. Visit the manufacturer's website to download the latest drivers if needed.

      Connection Options:​

      • For the TV with RCA and S-Video inputs, you may need converters or adapters to connect from your computer's video output to these inputs.
      • For the TV with only a video input, you can directly connect it to a compatible output port on your computer (like HDMI).

      Note:​

      • Ensure your graphics card can handle the load of running multiple displays simultaneously. Consider the resolution and refresh rate supported by your card.
      • Adjust sound settings accordingly to route audio to the correct playback device for each TV.
      By following these steps and ensuring hardware compatibility, you should be able to set up independent displays for watching movies on your TVs while browsing on your computer. If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out for further assistance!
