Put both PCs in the same workgroup, use the same user\password on both that have rights to the music folder, share the music folder on the host, map that folder on the client. Never tried playing music on both before but I wouldn't think it would take a ton more resources on the host. A faster drive would probably be a huge help and you'd want to keep it defraged as much as possible. A drive dedicated just to those tracks would also help. But Chris is saying he only needs one PC hooked up to several monitors, no matter how far away from the source.

But reading what TOQER read, it seems that Curt was OK with multi-rigging from a server to several rooms.
But then again correct me if I am wrong, SC is suing for display their "pirated" logo????? Not actually playing the "pirated" karaoke track. For my proposed example I was very careful to not describe the computer as a server. It could in fact be the exact same laptop that is being used at a karaoke show. A server serves something up to another computer. My scenario does exactly what a karaoke host does in a club, play directly from a single computer to multiple screens. There is no difference except the distance between the playback device (karaoke computer) and the display (1 or more TV's/Monitors). -Chris So how do you play different songs at the same time from one computer? Open Pandora, Spotify, Zune, iTunes at the same time. Drop an audio CD in. You will end up with a wonderful cacophony of sound. In my scenario, simply run 2 or more instances of Karma at the same time with each playing separate karaoke files. -Chris

Okay, thank you for finally giving me an example! However, can you run separate sound from the 3 programs running at the same time? So, I suppose through a kiosk or iPhone app, one could send song request(s) via internet to an operator sitting at one computer source who in turn keeps a que of separate programs running and have each venues monitor connected to each separate program. Okay, with that said, how do you get the source to the monitor? Internet as well? Would that now be considered broadcasting? I'll bet you there are a ton of broadcast restrictions that would hinder that scenario like Unauthorized Broadcast Prohibited. However, if authorization was given, it would be doable but a total pain in the rear!

However, if authorization was given, it would be doable but a total pain in the rear! Please read the thread from the beginning to figure out how to get video to remote monitors. However, that is likely the most sticky part. This is the wiggle room area since there are now so many different ways to get a signal from a source to a destination. Separate sound to instances is handled at the operating system level. Windows 7 and later do a good job of letting you control audio on a per application basis. Can either leverage Terminal Services or other multi-instance management software that sends discreet audio/video per application to a destination. -Chris

Hey how about the way AT&T broadcasts with its U-Verse wireless receiver? I'm sure that there are products out there that will do the same.

Hey how about the way AT&T broadcasts with its U-Verse wireless receiver? I'm sure that there are products out there that will do the same. yea....I take for granted that this stuff is obvious sometimes. Anyone can do it so long as they can find where the settings are. Terminal Services is non-trivial though and to do it legally requires an investment in software licenses. The IPTV piece isn't really obvious either and is comparatively new to other technologies. But all of this is well with the grasp of the every day computer user with some research and patience. -Chris

at Guitar Center all of the terminals on the floor are just terminals. the main server is in the back room and if i logged into management, i could access sales tickets from another store across the country or print a receipt to a printer in that same store if necessary. i wonder if the same concept could work?

ok here is another fly in the oinment for 1 set of discs, multiple rooms.
If you're technology is going to emulate using 1 set of discs for multiple stages at one venue, then it will have to lock out one entire DISC of tracks at a time otherwise in theory, you could play two separate tracks from the same ripped disc, which you CANNOT do with on physical set of disks.
just saying
