Using Apple remote desktop to preview catalyst - DONT

[rowdylimey]

At XL when we have run into this issue, we have used; http://www.techland.co.uk/index/kvm_av400 with the long view option for remote monitoring of single output servers.

This also looks interesting for dual output servers; http://www.rose.com/htm/multivideo.htm when used in conjunction with http://www.rose.com/htm/crystalviewplus.htm

they were doing this on kylie.

With catalyst running - it really doesnt work well with catalyst running.
Its OK as long as Catalyst isnt running, but previewing screens, is not going to work using remote desktop.

it would be nice to have a full software preview but it proved to be too much of a performance hit in the past, and there were opengl bugs that stopped it working well enough.
so i did the best i could by outputting the current state rather than actually frames.

Hugh recommends ( hah hah ) the miranda desktop for remote monitoring of video output~:

one step down from this is the Kaleido

and some boxes from zandar also do multi-image composites:
