Not yet. This feature will be available in SCS 11.

Hi,

Do you have a planned release date? And/Or can you give us any more detail about how this functionality will work. We have a show coming up for which we'll need multiple video outputs.

The first release candidate (RC1) of SCS 11 should be available about the end of this month (September).

Video/Image cues in SCS 11 will handle multiple image and/or video files sequentially, like a 'slide show'. Images may be cross-faded but initially it will not be possible to cross-fade to or from videos. Each video/image cue is assigned to a nominated output screen where screens are numbered from 2 to 5, which correspond to the numbers shown by Windows when you click 'Identify' in the Display settings panel.

How does this fit in with your requirements?

Sounds good. The effect we're looking for would look something like this:

Three outputs, sometimes one image would be sent to all three, sometimes different images would be sent to each at the same time or slightly staggered. Say we were sending three images, Image one would fade in on proj. 1, then image two would fade in on proj. 2, then image three would fade in on proj. 3, then perhaps all three would cross fade to the same image. That kind of flexibility would be very awesome.

Love the app. We've been using it for our theater and dance shows for about two years now.

Are these still images or videos?

Although, of course, video would be great too. :)
