ProPresenter 7 - Setting Up Output Screens 

That sounds like a system issue. Every now and then when you add new monitors, your computer will change the resolution of your main screen. You need to go into the display settings of the computer, find the main display and set it back to default resolution. That would be my suggestion whether you are on a Mac or a PC. Hope that helps.

Hi! Thanks for the question. So first your question about the device to split the screens. I am not sure since I don't know the specs on your PC. Check the specs and see how many output screens it allows. You will need 4 for the scenario you just described. One for each of those monitors and one for the main display monitor at your desk. If your computer doesn't support that many, I recommend this pluggable unit. www.amazon.com/Plugable-Universal-Laptop-Docking-Station-Usb-C-Triple-Monitor/dp/B0779K9DG2/ref=sr_1_4?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Pu3mL2Lq_uISw_BYW7tEOAY4LPkEFvUkRJIzMgBj5W0_8mC4Dp8KOarHpFo_VNrn3Gj5HVJE3Kedd0UMCN8HZWc6yW2qiB8A5HwYeTVb2R2j5_qU3CjYc0Jj2xXUA-Nz_Vzk6B5VoRonz5Qa9GMX6EOCyw9JXslR-3DFKyvzeXIEUbDzjPWnGuQdwvHz6OWxigLvtdiSSw2hn6DNZR1QLYRwUvxpQw-owJRulQUxHVY.jn_aKdn3Hnjayr_8yRDAWwnw2VMN5XBhokfx11mgxqQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=pluggable&qid=1712232580&sr=8-4 As for directly setting it up, the short version is you'll work with 3 windows for setup. First, create each monitor output in Screens -> Configure Screens. Second, setup what goes to each screen in Screens -> Edit Looks. This window can be complex to know what to turn off and on to get the desired effects. Your LED wall you will want to uncheck slide but leave media. For your side screen, leave everything checked. If you need further help, please hit me up at L55techconsulting@gmail.com and I'd be glad to assist.

The first thing I would check is your screens output in PP7. Go to screens / configure screens and then select the output you are having a problem with. In the bottom right, make sure that Output target is set to full.

Thanks for the question. While I believe this would be doable, it might be too much for ProPresenter to handle consistently. I am assuming there are video signals for imag as well. I think in this type of scenario, it would be better to do this from a video switcher and let propresenter just handle the graphics. Propresenter 7 can do a lot but once you start doing too much, it can get glitchy and inconsistent. Shoot me an email l55techconsulting@gmail.com and we can discuss further.

Yes you can. I’d need to know a bit more about your setup to tell you the steps to take. If you want to shoot me an email from my website, l55av.com, I can help you a little easier.

So it sounds like your computer is set to mirror your display. You need to change the computer settings to use the external TV as an extended monitor. Once you do that, then you can send your main audience within propresenter to the TVs and have the regular propresenter screen on the computer.

Hi Rodnell. I have not used props myself much at all in my setups. I would have to research them some to be able to answer your question. This video may be a good start though. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D2JfwLj1uo4.html

@@JonathanHeadley thanks! Checking out now....I really appreciate you providing us all with this useful information. It really helps to have these tutorials. Blessings

Hi! Sorry for the late response. I am sure you have figured this out by this point. If not, let me know and I will answer more promptly.

@@JonathanHeadley I need help with this answer

I have this very same question. @judahkibalama Did you get your answer? if you did could you share with me. I'm running an iMac with Pro7 to an L.E.D wall trying to send lower thirds to Livestream thru Blackmagic TV Studio HD. Please share the info if you received it.

What kind of computer are you using? I have a newer MacBook Pro 16 so I am able to run each screen off a separate usbc on the computer itself. But I would recommend getting a matrox unit. A dualheadtogo or a tripleheadtogo depending on your needs. They work great at being able to split one output to multiple. Only a little testy to set up, but once it’s running it works great.

@@JonathanHeadley we are running an iMac from 2017ish. I have one usb c going to a splitter that goes to our two projectors and our livestream. The second usb c goes to our stage display. We are about to upgrade to pro presenter 7 and I’m wanting to run two different displays for in person and livestream displays. Just need to know the best hardware to have to run that.

@@hogforJesus head over to my website, ajheadley.com, shoot me an email and i will send you a gear list in the morning to put that together for you and can give you some tips on setting it up.

Hi Daniel! At my current church we are using a device from Plugable to send our feed. 3 HDMI outputs that are all separately assignable screens. Just one USB C into our computer. Also has additional USB ports, ethernet, and powers the MacBook. a.co/d/8DGRya0

Yes. I am using a 16” MacBook Pro. We started with an older MacBook Pro that only allowed 2 monitors. To fix that I bought a Matrox Dual Head To Go. This basically sends one output out of your computer but creates a double wide screen that you are able to split in half within propresenter to send different options to each half. The box itself then has 2 outputs on it that correspond to each half of the screen. They also make a triple. There are other external gpu options as well that work similarly, but tend to be more expensive. Here is a link www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/893261-REG/Matrox_d2g_dp2d_if_DUAL_HEAD2GO_DIGTL_SE.html

@@JonathanHeadley so you are use a dual head 2go to have multiple screen options with PRO7?

@@brandonberry3137 we currently are not using one, but have and will if I decide to add more screen options. They work well to be able to split one display out to multiple out. It’s probably one of the more cost effective options for that scenario.

Hi Gladys. You may need to check with Matrox and make sure the software is compatible with Big Sur. I have not used our Matrox unit since updating to Big Sur because I have enough working outputs on the laptop I have. On a quick search, Big Sur may not be compatible which they need to hurry up and do. Especially since Apple just released Monterey. They need to catch up. So they may have a proper driver they can send you that isn't on their site yet.

@@JonathanHeadley thank you for your answer Jonathan, do you know any other devices like matrox? im looking for another multi display control like matrox

@@gladysaguayo8622 here is a great video that walks through another solution. This is more expensive but also potentially more stable as well as expandable for other needs. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ud72xaOlngY.html

@@JonathanHeadley thank you Jonathan! i appreciate that, God bless you

@@JonathanHeadley it’s not set in mirror at all, and do not see an option for extending. Yikes.

@@scratchoriginalsdh shoot me a message on my website and let's start a convo through email and we can see if we can get you fixed up. ajheadley.com

Hey Jonathan, I think they got it figured out yesterday. I am not sure what they did, but when our worship leader/pastor/sound/tech guy comes back in a couple weeks I will do my best to find out. I would like to have some troubleshooting under my belt moving forward.

We have a few Decimator MDHX. But we also use an hdmi over cat6 converter for our confidence monitor that was cheap from Amazon and we have a few blackmagic sdi to hdmi converters for a thing or 2 as well.

So it sounds like your computer has been set to mirror rather than extended desktop somehow. What kind of computer do you have and I can try to get you fixed up.

@@JonathanHeadley we have a Dell monitor I believe, but are running one of those Mac mini units. I really only have a background with sound tech, so this is kind of overwhelming.

Hi Kay! You can get them from a few places. One of the best is churchmotionsgraphics.com. They make lots of different styles of stuff there.

When I say main screen, I am referring to the audience screens. So my main screen that the audience will see. Your control screen should stay on the computer monitor you have propresenter set up on.

@@JonathanHeadley Thank you for your reply. The problem we are having is the control screen is showing up on the main screen where everyone can see what we are doing. How do you set up where only the user sees the control screen and the audience only sees the main screen? Thanks

@@jaibnax1577 Gotcha. So if you are seeing that audience screen and also on your computers screen, that means your computer is set to mirror screens. You need to set the audience screen to be and external display. That is a system preferences piece on the computer separate from ProPresenter. Are you on Mac or PC?

@@JonathanHeadley Mac

@@jaibnax1577 So yeah. Start with going to settings -> displays. make sure it is set to stop mirroring and to use extended displays. Then you should be able to set the screen settings in propresenter from there following the instructions in the video.
