I work at a school and we(the IT department) are trying to streamline everything to make our systems idiot.. i mean user proof.
One of the more recent items are our projectors.
We use NEC NP1000 projectors in all of our classrooms.
NEC has supportware called PC Control Utility that we are using in two of the classrooms to turn on and off the projectors. It's a button on the desktop that you click on that turns the projectors on and off over the network. Works really well on single projectors.
The problem we are having is that we have 1 classroom with two projectors in it that we want to have the same control over. We want to be able to power on and off both projectors at the same time with a click of the button. We don't need control singly over either of them. They are always displaying the same content and they are always both on, or both off.
Any ideas on how to have a control like this? we want to do this over the network as the cable runs that we would have to go through if we were to run more cable isn't exactly... fun.
Also in the future we will set up the projectors to turn off at a specific time, or if they've been idle for x amount of time.. etc. so if there's an all in one solution to this that would be even better.
Thanks in advance!
