I am interested in doing an art piece that requires five different images (high-rez stills) to be displayed on 5 small lcd monitors, fed from one computer that can then randomly (and also with planned times) change each image through a series of
5 on each monitor (for a total of 25 images)...any ideas on best way to achieve this? Does this software allow for a still image "slide show" playback to be achieved? If so, what additional software will be needed successfully feed five images to five monitors?
Thanks,
Tobe

I don't know if there are any slideshow applications which support this, but one way you could do this would be with PowerPoint, together with PowerShow.
You could create a PowerPoint slideshow for each monitor, and run the different slideshows via PowerShow.

Thank you for this info.. and I wonder if your software can utilize the Sewell USB to DVI external monitor connectors? Any experience with this configuration...? See more about these connectors at:

Thanks in advance.

Should work fine, if it looks like a regular monitor to Windows it should also work with UltraMon.

Thanks again...one more quickie..
should your screen saver program also allow for this to work...different images on each screen? controllable?

You could assign one instance of a slideshow screen saver to each monitor, but you wouldn't be able to control the screen saver via the keyboard/mouse, and showing different images on each monitor would only work if the screen saver supports it or can be hacked (for example My Pictures on XP).
