Software to control 3 computers running 3 PPT files

[Landon]

Can anyone suggest software for the Mac which will allow 1 computer to
control output of 3 computers running PPT or video files (most likely QT)?
The setup is 3 computers with separate files/content outputting to 3
screens. I need to be able to have all 3 synchronized and advanced with one
click.

Thanks,
Landon

Landon,

I don't know if such thing exists in the mac world....but on windows PC...there's these magic boxes ( I think they go by
the intitials of KVM). (keyboard video mouse)... It basically allows one keyboard & mouse to control lots of others.

This was the first one I found that mentioned MAC...

That's assuming the presentations are all different.

If they are all the same....then you need a magic box to take the video single from a single mac and splits it into many
signals. These are called "video distribution amplifiers" ... this sort of thing...

That's very helpful, thanks.

What about bluetooth? Do you know if it's possible to use a bluetooth mouse
that's programmed to the same frequency on all 3 computers so that the one
mouse would advance all three? Any idea if that's possible?

Thanks,
Landon

Landon,
Not used it, so I can't comment on that. However, I'd sooner go wired than wireless for reliability.
