Q: 2 HD TVs as extended monitor system with Mac Mini

What is the best way to setup 2 HD TVs to my Mac Mini in order to use them as an extended monitor?

Example: Logic Pro- Main Window opened on one monitor and Mixer Window opened on second monitor.

Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Thanks! I also need to know how to actually setup my second display, though. I have one TV hooked up to the HDMI port. I don't know how to get the second TV into the mix. Can I do it without AirPlay or Apple TV?

You need an appropriate adapter that plugs into your Mini's Thunderbolt port. That port is compatible with mini displayport to XX video adopters.
You can get mini displayport to:
- HDMI
- VGA
- DVI
