Multiple Monitors Question..Any other options??

**bobbykokinos** · 02-25-2008, 03:25 PM

I did a search but didnt find an answer to my question.. I want to do 3 monitors, one touch screen in the drivers area and two displays on the head rests for the rear.

Now, from what I understand, the EASIEST way would get a dual-head video card. One output goes to the front and the other output can be split into the two monitors in the back..

The problem is, the CarPC case I have (Morex 3688) isnt big enough to hold a PCI card...Do I have any other options at all? Or do I really need to consider a different case if this is what I want to do??

Get a motherboard with Video out in addition to VGA.

Little bit more info, please. Does your motherboard a PCI slot at all????
Is is possible to place a low-profile video card?

It is also possible to get an USB-based video and using that as primary (because the quasi still picture) and using the original headrests as secondary.
Additional problem, if your headrest monitors have only video-in, in that case you HAVE to buy a video card with TV-out.
Another possibility to have a flexible PCI riser card, and using a video card in a tilted position inside the computer box.

My suggestion is: have a new box. This is the easiest way.
And be sure about your headrests input (I strongly suppose they are AV/video-in and definietly NOT VGA).
