Triplehead2go and Keynote

[pointr5]

Our pastor wants to run his sermon outline in keynote. We are running PP with th2g across 3 screens with a 2400x600 resolution and can only get keynote to show up on our center screen. Does anyone have a quick fix for this, or am I relegated to a life of misery? Can Keynote work effectively with th2go?

Thanks!

Try choosing a resolution of 3600×1080 in Keynote. That would give you a 3.33:1 ratio which I would imagine would show pillarboxed on your 4:1 screen, but should fill most of it. (Sorry, I don't have access to my presentation Mac at the moment, so I'm going off memory.)

How do you intend to use the three screens? As one large canvas made of three physical screens and projectors? The same sermon notes on all three? Recall that those Matrox boxes subdivide a single logical display into multiple physical displays -- the monitor wall concept -- so as far as the computer is concerned it is only one (triple-wide) monitor.

To address the physical displays separately requires software that knows when it's plugged into such a device and can drive the single physical video output accordingly, software such as ProPresenter.

We would like the same notes on all three, but that's probably not going to work. There's no way to go back and forth without physically changing the connections, is there?

If you don't need the fancy transitions, you can save the keynote slides as jpegs, and then ProPresenter will play them back just fine.

Otherwise, what Peter suggested about creating the slides triple-wide should work, as long as your pastor creates the slides with the division of the screens in mind (three 4:3 background pictures, side by side, with the same text box on each.) All ProPresenter does is pre-configure a triple-wide output out of three single-wide slides, such that the TripleHead2Go can break it back up into those three slides.
