Why you need two displays
Short answer: StagePlayer and Stage Studio open two windows: a controls window for the operator and an output window for the audience. The controls stay on the computer's own screen; the output goes full screen on the projector or LED wall. With only one display, the audience would see your controls.
How it should look
| Display | Shows | Who sees it |
|---|---|---|
| Computer screen (laptop screen or desktop monitor) | Controls window: cue sheet, Next/GO, Blackout, previews | Operator only |
| Projector or LED wall | Output window, full screen | Audience |
Getting there
- Connect the projector and turn it on.
- Set the computer to extend the display (not mirror). See Extend your display to a projector.
- Drag the output window onto the projector.
- Click Fullscreen (StagePlayer) once the output window is on the projector.
If both screens show the same thing, your computer is mirroring. See Extend your display to a projector.
