preview on main monitor Can't Post

Hi,
I'd like to know if there is an easy solution to monitor what's happening on a stage when connecting the laptop to a projector.. i mean, i'll be performing an A/V set and the screen will be exactly besides me.. so, since i don't have a video mixer to double the signal ( preview / projector ) i'd like to have an exact copy of stage 1 on my laptop.. (I'm using only one stage).. is this possible without doubling all the projectors in isadora to output on a 2nd stage.. ?

cheers
b.

easy --->

just had a monitor control in your control panel and link it to the output of your movie player.

That's it....

See the Isadora manual for best results (size of monitor controller matters with perf.)

Hi Mattao,
thanks for your reply but i don't think this option would work in my case since what i need to see is an exact copy of the stage ..where usually several projector at once output.. so i can't link the monitor to any actor.. cause i would never get the same thing that I'm actually projecting on the screen but just a part of it.

there is no way to do this.
you can only solve your problem via hardware.

mmm.. shit.. Claudio how you solved the problem @ your last performance ( i guess it's the last one, francesca from Influx sent me some pics of it..) ? Cause you were projecting behind your shoulders but you had preview on 3 monitors in front of you, hadn't you ? I'm quite new to video and don't now anything bout hardware.. any suggestion for a cheap solution would be much much appreciated.
cheers

FWIW, I am working on a solution to allow the exact stage contents to be viewed. But it is several weeks away, based on other things that need to get done.

I know this is important.

Best,
Mark
