Mouse Trap

Post by Nicko » Sun Aug 26, 2012 1:08 am

When using multiple windows displays (extended desktop) there is a risk the mouse pointer might inadvertently appear in a stage display projector. Can anyone recommend a Mouse Trap utility to fix the mouse limit to the main screen please? Would be a great feature to have as a tick box on the SCS editor somewhere as well (Production Properties?)

Found a good solution (free!) to this issue if anyone has the same issue which was from this company http://www.snakebytestudios.com/project ... rsor-lock/
It's a small programme which can be linked to any application and very neatly limits the cursor movement to the main screen. There is a hot key facility to lock/unlock the cursor if needed. Used it in a recent production when we were running four video outputs and it was excellent as it was all too easy before to manage to let the cursor drift onto an on stage projector. There's also a YouTube tutorial on it's use.
