Topic: Extra Screen for sing-along
Hello, is it possible to export more then 1 extra screen? I have a gig and have to show the video with text on a big screen, but I also want to see the same screen for me on a smaller monitor. Is that ossible in any way without using hardware like a hdmi-screensplitter? Can that be done with the virtual DJ software?
Thx in advance for the awnsers!
Grtzzz from Belgium!

That's whai I do. Just use a thunderbolt hub with 2 HDMI out or a splitter. It's managed in Windows rather than VDJ.

One solution is to make those 2 ext monitors to show the same, so clone each other, not sure if the OS gives this feature, or has to be a splitter HDMI hardware thing as Keith suggested.

Another solution (a software one) is to have all 3 monitors (main + 2 x Ext ) as extended , and then create a skin <window> with the Master Video output, drag to the desired screen and resize.
My Blocks skin has this option (image from the 2-Decks) ...

which you can get its code from and apply to your own

Code (needs to be put inside the xml of your skin) ..
<window name="mastervideowindow" posx="400" posy="200" width="300" height="200" shown="false" >
<square color="fonto" border="1" border_color="#909090" canstretch="true">
<pos x="0" y="0"/>
<size width="300" height="200"/>
</square>
<square color="displayback" canstretch="true">
<pos x="1" y="1"/>
<size width="300-2" height="200-2"/>
</square>
<textzone>
<pos x="1" y="1"/>
<size width="300-2" height="200-2"/>
<text fontsize="12" color="silkscreen" align="center" weight="bold" text="MASTER VIDEO"/>
</textzone>
<video source="master" canstretch="true">
<pos x="1" y="1"/>
<size width="300-2" height="200-2"/>
</video>
</window>

and then you open/close it with show_window 'mastervideowindow'
