Looking for a PC recommendation that can output 3 discrete video output for presentations/TEDx style events. 1 external monitor to be the Audience View. one to be presenter Notes (confidence Monitors) and the built-in display to be the operator
I wouldn't say cost is of not consequences beyond general fiduciary responsibility. We are not rendering video, live streaming, vmixing, playing video games on it. I'm Partial to Lenovo (Thinkpad) and have been looking at Think Pad P16 series https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/c/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadp/
And looking at the the Dell XPS 16
https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/lapt...16-gen-2-(16-inch-intel)/len101t0069#features

but both come in so many configuration it's touch to distill down if the "lowest" tiers can actually do what the "features" and port diagrams claim. It appears the dell XPS16 can only do all the THunderbolt Display outputs with a RTX4070?

General nice to have would be 16" 1440p display min.
Beyond that something that can run the above multiple monitors, and google chrome suite.

We have a Mac Pro m3 14, Macbook Air, an intel iMac for our school, I own a Macbook Ultra M1. However none of the Mac devices play well with our Atlona HDbaseT input boxes. (iMac is our booth compute plugged in ot our Atlona Switcher direct to HDMI, and works
great.

We are not looking for a mac solution.

You may find our Cue Player One software and one or more USB to HDMI adaptors to be a solution. CP One will support sending up to 5 independent video outputs. It is cue based for theater work and each video cue can display that cue's file on any mix of the outputs. Timed fades in and out as well as crossfading is supported. (And if you want to dim some lights during the show, it can do that too). No external codecs are needed.
