Two-Monitor & Two-Column Camera Controls

#1

Post by lmichel »

My goal is to put the main Sharpcap UI on the BIG monitor (easier to read the frames)
I activate two-monitor. It works pretty much as documented.
However, the camera image is displayed on both the laptop 11" (with UI) and the second monitor 24"
Is there a way to reverse this? Can I display just the camera image on the laptop and the UI only on the large (extended) display?
Might there also be a way to supress the camera image on the monitor displaying the UI? I'd like to use the two-column camera controls to essentially fill the large monitor, while leaving the laptop display for the camera image.

Thanks

Hi,

the way that the extra image works is that it displays on the monitor that doesn't already have the main SharpCap program on it, so if you move the SharpCap application to the extended display first, then go into two monitor mode, you will get the camera image on the laptop and the UI on the extended display.

You will *always* get keep a copy of the image with the main SharpCap UI, but you can make that as small as you want by making the controls wider and/or the lower work area taller.

cheers,

Robin
