Using a Gefen scaler is the only way I've heard of doing it also.

Those T12 touch screens are pretty nice as well!

 I have 1080p going to my 58" plasma and to my 7" touchscreen.  I use a Gefen VGA to DVI scaler plus.  That way I can clone MCE on both (for when I only want music, dont have to turn the plasma on).  Now, if someone can find a way to run Bluray on a clone setup (even if only to one of the 2 screens), you would be my new best friend.  I only had it wokring with Superbad, one of the other flicks I tried wouldnt display.

 I'm pretty sure you can get this working with BluRay, by using AnyDVD HD.  It just needs to be running in the background.

Or rip it to MKV and use windows7 media center?  I have several 1080p MKVs, you just ned a registry hack for mkv into the library and a codec of some sort.  There is a guide on Google.

How about one of these in clone mode

The Universal Remote MX-6000 does list cover art.  Although it does not have an EPG yet.  Nevertheless, I couldn't be happier with the remote.  I even have it programmed to control all my lights through Mcontrol.  It is pricey however ($1000 for the remote and another $250 for the software from Autonomic).

Are you getting 2 way feed back on the MX-6000 for your lights?  Autonomic's software is also included with the MX-6000 and MX-5000 remotes.  It isn't an additional fee.

No two way.  In fact, I am just using the MX-6000 to send RF/IR commands that are picked up via USB-UIRT and interpreted as lighting commands via macro's in MControl.  Its pretty simple to set up and the MX-6000 already has the graphics installed for lighting control.

The Autonomic software is not included.  It is an additional charge.  I understand its not the cheapest touchscreen remote on the planet, however I can't say enough about its functionality (less epg data).  The only downside to this method is that I'm not confident Mcontrol is going to be around much longer given their recent lack of technical support.

Thats what I thought.  We have similar setups.  I'm using a MX-980,USB-UIRT and mcontrol as well.  It is a bummer that embedded home automations wasn't able to profit enough from Mcontrol.  While not perfect, it is very good when you factor in function and price. 

Due to the limited 2 way modules from URC, I haven't purchased or setup any of their 2-way remotes. I'm pretty sure that software comes with the remote.  Atleast that is what I remember from the MX-6000 class I took.  no big deal either way.

How are you managing what IR commands are associated with what Macros.  Since I have 30 Z-wave devices, I'm using a spread sheet to help keep track of everything.  I was just curious how you manage the data since we are doing similar things.

Hi all I solved a problem with multiple monitors and thought I would share my solution.

I have a 1080p TV as the main monitor and purchased a Mimo iMo 7" LCD [http://www.mimomonitors.com/products/iMo] to use when the TV was switched off, seemed a waste of power to have a 42" TV going while listening to music.
The iMo monitor only needs a single cable as it is USB powered and is only 130 US$

I wanted to run in mirror mode and simply switch the 7" on when the TV was off but this would not work as the iMo monitor does not support 1080p resolution.

Solution: a great application called UltraMon [http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/], beta works on Win7.

Ultramon allowed mirroring between monitors of different resolutions but I found that the video quality suffered, TV was stuttering, this may work for you though.

The great thing about ultramon is it supports scripting and ultramon can configure you monitors in just about any configuration imaginable. I found a script [http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/scripts/ (togglesinglemon)] to switch on the secondary display then swap the primary and secondary, this works perfectly. I assigned the # key on the MCE remote to fire the script, it takes about 6 seconds to switch montors but it means if I want to listen to music I no longer need to switch on the big screen which took 5 or more seconds to start anyway.

Only down side is ultramon is $39.95 but it works and nothing else I tried woul,d so to me its worth it.

Hope this helps someone.

I threw in the towel a while back and now use VMCController and Mcontrol to launch pre determined play lists or internet radio depending on what IR command I send from my remote.  Works great..   You could use inteliremote instead of Mcontrol to monitor IR commands and launch other applicatins.  I just happened to already use Mcontrol.

Now only if I could find a board with a integrated sound card that had drivers that will simultaneously output digital and analog audio at the same time, life would be good.  

Thanks for the information about ultramon.  I haven't played with their stuff in a long time.

This one looks like it may work out. It supports ful HD res so cloning wont be a problem. I can see this working as a secondary monitor to navigate libraries without having to turn on the big screen. But can you somehow tweak this to be used as a wireless remote? To make it truly wireless you will need to do a few things

1. Split an HDMI signal (possible)

2. Wireless USB and HDMI (possible but pricey)

3. Stand alone powersource (see here for battery) 

4. Possibly build some sort of enclosure to house all the various components.

Features:1920X1080, HDMI ,Touchscreen ,built in 1watt speaker, optional battery, available in 7, 8 and 10 inch models

 

 

 

 Where does it say 1080P ?

 The specs say:

Native Resolution

800X3(RGB)X480

 

Here is some info on someone that actually has the unit.
