get a thunderbolt I/O box like this one and connect it to your second display. This is because each Thunderbolt device can demultiplex only one DisplayPort signal from the Thunderbolt signal. You just have to daisy chain two Thunderbolt docks together, where at least one of the docks has an HDMI out.

Otherewise, just use full screen playback mode over the Avid Media Composer interface? Just re-arrange your bins to your main monitor and hit save changes to your workspace.Įven better. There is a way to connect two non-Thunderbolt monitors to a Macbook Pro (Early 2011). You could try to disconnect your full screen playback monitor from your GPU, restart your system, Launch avid with one monitor, close Avid, reconnect your second monitor, restart your system, then launch Avid with both monitors- and hopefully, it will grey out your main monitor rather than the full screen playback one. This isn't a problem for me because I use all of my monitors for MC.

Interesting, I have a random monitor greyed out on my Avid even though it's not my main in Windows settings. Thank you! But if you are speaking about Host Panels, somehow I can't disable the monitor which I want to use for fullscreen playback - it's greyed out and set as main (although it is not set as main monitor in system prefernces). So the question is: is there a way to force Media Composer to remember workspace and monitors settings? Tried saving workspace and it didn't help. Then I just drag it to the first monitor and set fullscreen playback to second one (yes, I have to do this everytime). What I do now is launch Media Composer with second monitor turned off (actually I physically remove HDMI cable), after openening project (when all windows are on one monitor) I turn on second monitor, then Media Composer somehow moves its windows to it ( although it is not set as primary). But everytime I open Media Composer with both monitors on, it puts its windows (bins, timeline, source and timeline monitors etc.) on both monitors (bins - on one monitor and everything else on another). The way I regulary work is the whole Media Composer interface on one monitor and fullscreen playback on another. It won't be fast or high-performance, but if you simply want more desktop space, it might work for you.My current setup is Macbook in clamshell mode and two external monitors. If I try to switch the sound destination from headphones to Dell u3011 I can hear silence only from Soundbar. If you want to share two monitors with other systems or Mac, then you need to find Dual-Monitor/ Dual-Head KVM switch.

System on my Mac sees device with name Dell u3011 system preferences / sound / output. The new MacBook Pro now has video outputs (two mini-DisplayPort and one HDMI), so there is no problem that you can have up to 3 monitor connected to the MacBook Pro. It's a video card with a USB connector on one end and a video port on the other. I have MacBook pro early 2011 and want to send sound via DisplayPort to Dell Soundbar attached to the monitor Dell u3011. Small addition: you might be able to solve your problem with a USB DisplayLink adapter if you do not need 3D video or accelerated 2D video. There is no cheap 2-in-1 adapter to make this happen. Just remember: one video port can only ever drive 1 display, unless it's a daisy chained display port system or a device that turns 2 screens into 1 big virtual screen for the video port. While it could probably be done cheaper, there simply aren't a lot of options here. It's a niche that most people don't even know about, and not a lot of sales or development is happening there. The problem with your question is that it is rather specific. It does cost quite some money, so it might be in your category of 'expensive adapters'. That is a device that allows 2 displays to be connected to a computer as one big display. I believe that you aren't going to buy two expensive chain-able monitors since, well, you don't want to buy an expensive adapter -) The next stop would be stuff like Matrox's DualHead2Go. This means your monitors need to both have two DisplayPort connectors and official support from the vendor and inside in the chipset to make this work.
While DisplayPort allows for daisy-chaining displays, this only works on supported hardware. What you need is either a system that combines 2 monitors, or a system that chains them. No, that 3-in-1 adapter will not drive multiple monitors.
