I am trialing vMix to see if it will work for us. We need to have two external outputs (which I have working) showing different content - which I don't have working.

Is all vMix able to do is duplicate what is in the Output onto both external displays?

Thank you for any help.

Paul,
As Indiffy stated there are actually several ways to accomplish this. Are you wanting to output 2 different outputs to record??

You have the option of outputting through "External" and you can also output using the "FullScreen" option. On the "FullScreen" settings you can specify what you want to go to your extra monitors. If you had something like a BlackMagic Hyperdeck Shuttle then you can run the monitor out into the Shuttle to record.

Let us know some details on what you are trying to achieve and we will try to help out in more detail. There is certainly lots of flexibility with this in vMix.

pjordan,
I think I understand what you are trying to do. I am going to show you the steps I would do and since I have no idea on your vMix experience I will show all steps.

I have attached screen shots (zip file) for each step. For my demo I am using a laptop with vMix 4K. I am using the FULLSCREEN function to accomplish this since you are only wanting to output 2 different video signals to 2 different projectors.

I have 3 monitors in this. 1) Laptop Screen 2) Gateway Monitor 3) Lilliput Monitor . I have a Mini-Port TO DVI cable going to the Gateway and a HDMI>HDMI going to the Lilliput. As long as your computer/laptop will support 3 monitors then you can do this as well using projectors instead of monitors.

Step 1. Verify that Monitors are "extended" and not duplicated in your monitor config.
Step 2. In vMix click on SETTINGS > DISPLAY. Then click on DISPLAY 1. In the drop down you menu, you have to assign which monitor number you want to be paired with DISPLAY1 in vMix. The original config settings show the number of each monitor. So you will see that I have DISPLAY 1 set to Monitor 2.
Do the same thing for DISPLAY 2. In my example I have DISPLAY 2 set to Monitor 3.

Step 3. You now click on the "dropdown" arrow on FULLSCREEN to tell vMix what you want sent to each Display. In my example I set DISPLAY 1 to OUTPUT. I set DISPLAY 2 to INPUT 2.

You will see that you can pass what ever you want to the DISPLAY 1 and 2. You can sent the Output, Preview, Multiview, or any active Input.

Step 4. Click on the FULLSCREEN button to begin sending the video to each Monitor (or projector).

You will notice in the Picture I took of the Monitors and Laptop, the "Output screen in Vmix is on my middle monitor (#2) and INPUT2 is on the small monitor on the left (#3).

I am sure there are other ways to do it but this is how I would do it.
