Is this possible? We have a big monitor at the front of the house. When Fullscreen is engaged the signal is sent there as you would expect.

We have a second monitor at the back of the house that we would like on a separate HDMI out. We can do that with the existing Fullscreen controls just by setting Fullscreen/Display 2 to the appropriate HDMI out, and setting the camera input we want it to display.

The thing is, we want that second monitor to always be showing its camera input regardless of whether the Fullscreen Button is engaged. Is that how Fullscreen works? Can it be configured to work that way?

If that can be made to work, then I have another question.

Have you tried specifying which inputs have to go to each screen ?

You can also use External Outputs to specify what you're looking for. Configure your FOH monitor as your main output, and your secondary monitor as whatever input you want it to be. Not sure if this is optimal from a performance standpoint, but it's what I do for audience-facing displays, and use fullscreen for things like Multiview.

No, it is on/off for both Fullscreen outputs.

So, in other words what you want is to turn off the Fullscreen output of the first monitor? Just send a black input to it.

(Workaround would be to place NDI Studio Monitor on the second monitor, but seems like an overkill.)
