Running two projectors from one QM2000 board

Is it possible to split the serial output of the Lasershow Designer QM2000 card to run two separate projectors simultaneously off of one card, or will there be protocol problems.( has this been done to your knowledge)

It depends on what you mean by "serial output". Do you mean the analog output (X, Y, colors) which controls the graphics portion of the projector, or do you mean the DMX-512 output which can control lights, beam projectors and other accessories?
        If you are referring to the analog graphics output, it depends on the distance that needs to be driven. If the cables are relatively short, perhaps up to 25 feet each, you should be able to take the analog signals and tie them to both cables. For longer cable lengths, it is desirable to have two separate distribution amplifiers to drive each cable segment.
        If you are referring to the DMX output, you definitely SHOULD NOT tie the output to two cables. DMX devices usually have an "input" and an "output" connector. If you have two devices, you connect the output of the QM2000 to the input of the first device, then connect the output of the first device to the input of the second device. With DMX, the total cable length can be up to 4000 feet so this generally should not be a problem.
