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.

Mark

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.
