Migrating from Windows Mediashout to MAC PP4 problems dual display

[glk1234]

We are getting rid of our Dell desktop with Mediashout 3.5 and using Mac mini with PP4. The only problem I am having is that I can not get my OUTPUT window to be my projection screens.

I set up the Mini just like we had the Dell (DVI splitter out to two monitors). But all monitors are acting as the desktop monitor, I don't see where I can select multiple monitors. I don't have the "arrangement" option under the Display menu.

Help?

So you are only using one video output to a splitter?
I think that is your problem. A splitter will not send different signals to its outputs. It will only send the same video to both outputs.
You NEED to use two separate video outputs from the computer. One output for the desktop controller monitor & the other for the show screen display(s).
If you have more than one show screen, you can split that signal.

Yes, on a new Mac Mini you need two dongles, one to convert the HDMI port and one to convert the Thunderbolt port.
