Need Newbie Help Sith Visual Cue(s)

Post by Dave Jenkins » Wed Nov 13, 2019 4:35 am

Would like to include video cues that behave thusly:

1. When the cue starts, the associated .mp4 file shows on attached display device but the PC screen continues to display SCS
2. When the .mp4 is finished, want the attached display screen to blank

I am using a Microsoft Display Adapter on the projector device.

I have difficulty setting up Windows 10 display properties, as well as driving SCS.

Can this be done?

This is the standard behavior of SCS.

In Windows, right-click on the desktop and select Display Settings (while you have your projector connected and switched on). From what you've described, you should see two screens in your Display Settings. Click on screen 2 and then scroll down to 'Multiple displays'. The setting here must be set to 'Extend desktop to this display'.

The other matter to consider is to make sure you have the projector connected and switch on before you start SCS.
