CovertRain Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Hi all. I am thinking of adding a second projector to my Halloween display. I have one that shows video in a window but I wanted to add one outdoors for different effect. I know how to get LOR to run one video image but is it possible to control a second video image outside without it showing the same sequence in doors? In other words two completely discrete video displays. I hope that makes sense but don't know if that is possible. My guess is no and I don't think filming split screen and dividing the "full screen" between windows will work for me since I already have to do that for two windows in the front where I show my current video. It would only be for one effect but I can't think of a way to do it. Edited September 15, 2018 by CovertRain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddm1919 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 As far as I know, split screen is the only way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Unless things have changed to make it different, I don't think this is possible using 2 separate projectors, since I don't think the LOR Software is designed to handle more than one projector sequence. If I'm mistaken, maybe someone that's actually done this will chime in here and let us know the secret. But I'm not sure anyone has been able too.

CovertRain Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 OK. Thanks I didn't think so. Bummer. I was trying to figure out a way to make this happen this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightingnewb Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Not familiar with video displays but wanted to throw my two cents out to see if it may spark something for you. At this time of year I'd say it would be slaving yourself to complete this but if you're willing to try, you could... Basically, I'm thinking the second video just is the full length of your show on a loop. All of the effects are built in - fading to black when in between sequences or not in use, and lasting however long your show is. (All songs + time between songs.) Not saying this is the one hundred percent correct idea, but it would be the only other option I'd have in your case since you can't really control the additional projector in LOR. Happy hunting and I hope this sparks some innovation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
