I'm a "one person orchestra", record, control the computer and serve as the "actor". I record Masses, inspirational and prayer videos. For the inspirational videos I follow an script, so I need to control vMix as I also read the script at the screen. Any advise anyone can offer will be GREAT!

Thanks,
Father Jose

What Graphics card are you using? There are a few different options to give you a 2nd monitor. If your graphics card has a 2nd connection for a monitor that would be the easiest. I have a GTX 970 by NVidia and have 4 monitors being used with my setup.

If you give a little more info on your setup I could give you more detailed instructions.

Thank you Chuck,
I'm just using a Win 7 PC with the factory installed options. Your advise is really appreciated. What should I do? How can you control the different monitors?

It will depend on what video connections you have available on the back of the PC. Most will have a VGA / DVI connection as well as an HDMI port. Are you familiar with these terms? Also you could post an image of the back of your PC and I can see what options you have available.

and the android version here:

Here's Davavideo's overview video:
