Several months ago I inquired as to whether or not there was a way to adapt a wired remote trigger/intervalometer termination to a different cable termination to allow for use on different camera systems. Answer appears to be no.

However there is a newish product from Neewer (RST 7004) that has multiple adapters to its cable termination. This allows it to be used on multiple systems and it does work on at least Sony and Nikon and presumably other systems as well.


Several weeks ago I wanted to know if there is some type of software that would allow independent screensavers to be used on two separate monitors simultaneously. I examined multiple solutions and the only one I found that works reliably is DisplayFusion which does exactly what I wanted and allows for automatic locking of the computer while the screen saver is functioning to allow for securing the PC. Product has multiple other uses that may or may not be useful to most folks. Does not seem to kill performance.

This would allow your screensaver to function as a digital display device for your images when not functioning as a PC. Better, it’s like having two digital displays. Software allows different rates of change, transitions, etc. for the photographs. Each slide saver can be configured independently.

A “limitation” is that the photographs must be JPEG format and need to be sized to the screen.

Considering how often connectors change, adapters should accompany all cables. I just got a couple of HDMI cables, and they came with a right angle adapter. Good idea.
