Karaoke Forums

Hi,

Being new to this gig, I have an issue with a question. I’ve notice that sometimes I have to set up my 19” flat screen on a stand way over there, where I can’t see it, and there are no other monitors in-house for me to monitor what’s going on. While I can play the software karaoke player on my PC screen (small pop-up and in the corner of the screen), when I play a CD or DVD through my stand alone player, that image only plays to the monitor and there’s no input on a laptop to send that players image to the PC screen. I made up a little bracket so I can mount a 15” monitor to my enclosure, and it works pretty well. What fixes for this have your pros come up with?

Thx for the on-going and indispensable help.

What you have looks to me like a very good solution to the issue you described-very nice!

If I couldn't see what was on the singer's monitor(from a cdg player feed).....I would look at the singers face, and if they had that...."WTF" look on their face.....I would know something wasn't right......

Good work around but ther is software out there that provides a display of what the singer sees in the interface of the programs. Sax & Dotty's and RoxBox requires a double plugin for the MP3+G screens. Hoster has it built in as does JustKaraoke, Swift Elite, Siglos Karaoke Professional and Compuhost.

That's true and I do use this when I'm playing off my hard drive. The issue is when you play off a CD - DVD player, in my rack, then I can't see that image off the PC screen.

See what I mean? Or am I missing something here.

Now that's funny!
