\section{Taking Advantage of Multiple Screens}
-
\label{section-twoscreens}
-This section describes options provided by \beamer\ for taking
-advantage of computers that have more than one video output and
-can display different outputs on them. For such systems, one video
-output can be attached to a projector and the main presentation is
-shown there. The second video output is attached to a small extra
-monitor (or is just shown on the display of the computer) and shows,
-for example, special notes for you. Alternatively, the two outputs
-might be attached to two different projectors. One can then show the
-main presentation on the first projection and, say, the table of
-contents on the second. Or the second projection might show a version
-translated into a different language. Or the seoncd projection might
-alwyas show the ``previous'' slide. Or \ldots---I am sure you can
-think of further useful things.
-
-The basic idea behind \beamer's support of two video outputs is the
-following: Using special options you can ask \beamer\ to create a
-\pdf-file in which the ``pages'' are unusually wide or high. By
-default, their height will still be 128mm, but their width will be
-192mm (twice the usual 96mm). These ``superwide'' pages will show
-the slides of the main presentation on the left and auxilliary
-material on the right (this can be switched using appropriate
-options, though hyperlinks will only work if the presentation is on
-the left and the second screen on the right).
-
-For the presentation you attach two screens to the system. The
-windowing system believe that the screen is twice as wide as it
-actually is. Everything the windowing system puts on the left half of
-this big virtual screen is redirected to the first video output,
-everything on the right half is redirected to the second video
-output.
-
-When the presentation program displays the specially prepared
-superwide \beamer-presentation, exactly the left half of the screen
-will be filled with the main presentation, the right part is filled
-with the auxilliary material---voilą. Not all presentation programs
-support this special feature. For example, the Acrobat Reader 6.0.2 will
-only use one screen in fullscreen mode on MacOS~X. You will have to
-find out for yourself whether your display program and system support
-showing superwise presentations stretching over two screens.

-presentations. Because of this, your first step when creating a

\subsection{Showing Notes on the Second Screen}
-The first way to use a second screen is to show the presentation
-on the main screen and to show your notes on the second screen. The
-option |show notes on second screen| can be used for this. It is
-described on page~\pageref{command-notesonsecondscreen}.

+To specify what is shown on the second screen, you can use a special \beamer-mode called |second|. This mode behaves similar to modes like |handout| or |beamer|, but its effect depends on the exact options used:
\begin{beameroption}{second mode text on second screen}{|=|\meta{location}}
- This option causes the second screen to show the second mode
- material. The \meta{location} of the second screen can be |left|,
- |right|, |bottom|, or |top|.
-
- In detail, the following happens: When a new frame needs to be
- typeset, \beamer\ checks whether the special option |typeset second|
- is given. If not, the frame is typeset normally and the slides are
- put on the main presentation screen (more precisely, on the logical
- |pgfpages|-page number zero). The second screen (logical page number
- one) shows whatever it showed before the frame was typeset.
-
- If the special frame option |typeset second| is given, after each
- slide of the frame the frame contents is typeset once more, but this
- time for the mode |second|. This results in another slide, which
- is put on the second screen (on logical page number one). Then the
- whole page is shipped out.
-
- The |second| mode behaves more like the |beamer| mode than
- other modes: Any overlay specification for |beamer| will also apply
- to |second| mode, unless an explicit |second| mode specification is
- also given. In particular, |\only<1-2>{Text}| will be shown on
- slides 1 and 2 in |second| mode, but only on the first slide in
- |handout| mode or |trans| mode.
