3rd Monitor Support?

Our church media machine utilizes a 3 monitor setup. We have EasyWorship running on screen one, other controls/editing running on screen two, and projectors on 3. We're having EasyWorship video playback issues, and decided to use ScreenMonkey for video. We LOVE it's ease of use and capabilities, however, to use it we have to disable our 2nd monitor so that our projectors become monitor 2. Is it possible for ScreenMonkey to support output to a third monitor, rather than 1 or 2? Thanks for the help!!

All you need to do is create a display profile that displays the layers on the third monitor. In the settings under "Display Settings" select the create new profile button. This will open the profile editor (icon of a sheet of paper). On each layer find "Size and Position" and change the monitor to "Monitor3".

Now close the dialog and ensure the new profile you have created is selected. You should now see your layers appear on the third monitor.

You can have different layers displaying on different monitors if you wish.

If you have 3rd monitor support can you control with Screen Monkey (SM) which monitor displays what? Let's say that on monitor 1 is the SM Desktop, and then monitor 2 (a projector) displays a video and then monitor 3 (a second projector) displays a slide presentation. Would you have to run multiple instances of SM? Could you?

Re: 3rd Monitor Support?

Each of the three layers can be configured to be on seperate monitors so you just display what you want on the different monitors on each layer.

e.g.

Layer 1 = Monitor 2

Layer 2 = Monitor 3

Play video on layer 1 and a slide show on layer 2/
