So are you guys running a VGA to your LCD monitor and SVID to your TV? I am having a problem getting the karaoke screen to the second LCD monitor. Can you you use a VGA Y plug (Split Signal)if they make one? I have a Video card on this computer it's a ATI Radeon X1300 with two DVI slots and one SVID. I got an adapter to change the DVI slot to VGA and have the SVID hooked to my tube tv but when I run VDJ it does not send the lyrics to the tv. I can surf the net on tv so I know that it is hooked up right but can only view one screen at a time in this mode. This is were the tech at ATI told me that you cannot run two screens in analog mode. He said if I had a DVI monitor or an LCD tv I could then send what I have on my analog monitor to my tv and view both at the same time. Now I know that VDJ already has the software to send a signal to a tv but I don't see anything that say's you have to activate it. Do I have to make adjustment in the sound card hardware? Can you tell me what I have to do?

Thanks I will reply tomorrow

One of the dvi outs is the primary display.  A flat screen has both dvi or svga. (although the last one I got only had only vga). When booting up,if you have the s-video hooked up to a modulator or monitor and terminated it will show active in display props and becomes the secondary display This will drive one monitor or modulator. For more outputs you need a video DA (distribution amp) which is very expensive I make them for $2 and change.  I need to know what monitor you have on stage (rca video in?) and whether you want to run video to a big screen. Sometimes for both you can run a splitter RF channel 3 or 4 and get by.

Let me know what you are hooking up or requirements are and then I will know what you need...  I am not familiar with vdj but when the second display is working you have the background minus all the icons an the primary display any window including graphics can be dragged and dropped to display 2 and sized.

I know this may sound simple, but you have to go into ATI control panel and expand your desktop and configure the screen position, tell it which monitor is where, etc.

Thanks for all of the reply's.
