Image only a separate monitor

Is there a way to project only the screen image on another monitor for a live viewing show?

Hi,

There is a dual monitor button on the toolbar just to the right of the snapshot button. This will put the image on a second monitor leaving the controls on the primary monitor. If you are live stacking then the life stacking panel will expand upwards on the primary monitor so you can see multiple tabs at once.

Hope this is what you are looking for, Robin

Just to the right of the Snapshot button on the tool bar is Live Stack. I do not see a dual monitor button. I am on SC version 3.2.6137.

Hi,

You need to have at least two screens attached to your computer for this button to appear and they must be in what Windows calls 'extend' mode rather mirror mode – so that different things show on the two monitors.

You may need to restart SharpCap if you make any changes to your display layout before the button shows up.

If you already have two monitor set up like this and the button isn't showing then something's gone wrong!

Cheers, Robin
