I have a GPU with 2 HDMI outputs. One is for the main monitor and the other is a comfort monitor for my talent. I know I can go FULLSCREEN and send Program out to the comfort monitor... But what if I want to overlay a clock? I obviously don't want my audience to see the clock just the talent.

Do I use NDI Tools Monitor and add that window full screen on the second monitor? I have vMix HD which only has 1 external output.

I know there is probably a simple explanation and im just not seeing. Thanks in advance :)

There are many solutions for this:

- with a recent nVidia card, you can have up to 4 monitors
- using NDI, you can add a laptop or a Win10 tablet in your workflow in order to display the clock
- using a third-party app like pixtimer ( http://www.pixap.fr/products.php?ref=7&lang=en ), you can do it the "traditional" way

for example...

please do not spoil other users's post with unrelated issues. Create your own thread, which you finally did and got answers for.
