Version 8.0 > What happened to the Secondary Program & how do I set one up?
5/5/2014 3:06:15 PM
We have been using SSP7 up until I upgraded this week, but I do not see an option for a Secondary Program to send different displays to a secondary output.
Here is our setup and how we had it connected before:
Primary/Control Monitor - 1st Geforce GT 640 output (DVI) to Monitor 1
Presentation Display - 2nd Geforce GT 640 output (VGA) to Splitter to Monitor 2 and 2 projectors
Secondary Display - 3rd output by Integrated GPU (VGA) to Splitter to a Preview Monitor and two HDTVs in our Lobby
Stage Display - 4th output by DisplayLink USB adapter to HDTV mounted in our back wall
Unused by SSP - 5th output (Geforce GT 640 HDMI) to HDMI to RCA converter to UHF Video distributor & monitor
We were previously running our Primary Program on the Presentation Display and Secondary Program on the Secondary Display as digital signage on our lobby HDTVs. However, so far I haven't been able to figure out a way to do all that we need to in SSP8. Please advise. Thank you! (I've also submitted this information as a ticket to the SSP support staff.

I think I may have found the solution to this issue.
After saving some settings & restarting SSP, I am now seeing in the Program Panel 4 buttons with 1, 2, 3, and 4. And by the looks of it, choosing the 2 button allows me to open a new program & send it to the secondary display. I will have to test this to be sure. I'll also need to make sure the proper display is setup as the Stage monitor.
