You will need a powered Thunderboldt-HDMI splitter. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NAWCU7G/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00NAWCU7G&linkCode=as2&tag=actfigpro-20&linkId=26FTAU6AAYJ24IYMAlso, be sure your system preferences are setup correctly, so the Raven is the main screen.. slatemt.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/216194688-Multiple-display-setup-issues-Raven-Touch-Controlling-another-screenAlso, if your Keyboard and System prefs are set to German as the main language, a couple of the Raven buttons may not function correctly. Since "Undo" is CMND Z on U.S keyboard and its CMND Y on german keyboard. You can setup multiple keyboard in system prefs, so you could just switch to US when Raven is open...  |

As I've posted on other threads you need to read the fine print here ... it's not possible to run 2 HDMI displays off of one single thunderbolt port.
Right from the page on that unit (which I own!):
Meaning you can run ONE HDMI based screen off of it, if you try and run a second with a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter it won't work. The only way you can run another screen is if it was native thunderbolt or thunderbolt 2.
All of the thunderbolt docks are the same, it is the way the spec works in order to be backwards compatible with mini displayport.

But now for the good news, what the OP can do with this setup is this:
- Plug the thunderbolt dock into one of the thunderbolt ports on the iMac.
- Plug one of the MTi2 into the HDMI port on the dock.
- Plug the Metric Halo interface into the other thunderbolt port on the dock.
- Plug the second MTi2 into the other thunderbolt port off the iMac using a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter.

That is the move for sure. Thanks for this. I am gonna work on a support article for this. |

Hm,
Have anyone an idea how I can safe the configuration?
Every day when I start the imac, I must uninstall and run setup again to calibrate the touchscreens.

If El Capitan, this is a known issue. For me, if I just unplug in a replug in the USB it will recognize.  You should see the RED outline turn to BLACK when re plugging in the screen. If this doesn't help, send me an email, and I will get you just the touch driver, so you don't have to re-install Raven every time too.. |
