Would it be possible to use mirror application to create a virtual monitor that pushes output to a 2nd, lan connected PC, simular to application sharing? Input from the 2nd PC would not be required, it would be for display only.

This isn't possible at the moment.
BTW, would the first PC have two displays (dualhead card or two video cards), or would the second display need to be a virtual one?

Idea is that the 2nd monitor is the virtual one.
Goal would be to have a low-cost PC connnected to a video beamer and via the virtual-monitor, make it possible to simply connect via WLAN and do a presentation. The vmon wouldn't need to be doing 30fps but should be responsive enough to allow browsing trough a PPT (about 3fps) and, if possible, show the annimations (probably about 10fps). All of this via a 11Mbps LAN...
Don't know if its possible but would be a killer-app for most companies :-)

I think it would be possible technically, but wouldn't it be easier to just download the presentation and run it locally?

Well, the idea would be that anyone within a meeting room could just take control over the beamer (=2nd virtual monitor) and display whatever application or information he has to share. just imagine a meeting room with several people bringing in a WLAN enabled laptop or tablet. No more switching of cables, simple software based switching between presentations of different people. Would make live really easy :-)
I found a device that can do this but it seems to be crap, see and
Alternative to a 'virtual monitor' would be something like a 'reverse terminal server session' where the central computer, connected to the beamer would connect to any of the available laptops/tablets.
Well, to put it short, it requires a realtime software solution!

Very interesting idea, but would rather be a new product than a feature for UltraMon.
I'll keep it in mind, I might have to implement remote mirroring for another planned product, and this would also be the main component of such a presentation solution.
