Hi - I'm looking for a way to send the "Program Output" to a second monitor (projector).
I know this can be done with the Preview Scenes. But that just switches the different preview scenes onto the separate HDMI/Monitor/Projector.

But I'm using OBS as a video mixer/composite alone with the various fades/wipes etc to generate a stream and record. But I'd like the LIVE audience to see this same feed (and not just having to separately switch the different preview scenes with no nice transitions).

Can this be done - I can't see anywhere, and the only mention of projector output is for the previews (which of course do not have the nice wipes etc).

My setup is Windows PC with THREE avermedia LGX HDMI inputs from various live HDMI cameras, and I'm basically using OBS as a live vision mixer.

Cheers - I'm sure it will be great - I assume no ideas on timescale? I have a conference/event in about 8 days which this would be awsome for (save me taking my separate BlackMagic Design vision mixer as I'd be able to do it all on my laptop)

Didn't you see my post? When in studio mode, the preview projector outputs the main output. As far as i can tell this is what you need.

Dude - you're brilliant. I didn't see the Projector (Preview) higher up the menu - I was only seeing and using the Projector (Source) - just my dumb ass mistake. That works exactly as I need.....I just got confused when your post mentioned a Projector Output (program). What will that add that's different from the Projector (Preview) ?

Should have posted a picture.
If you are in Studio Mode, there is the preview on the left and the program on the right. Currently if you start the projector (Preview) it displays the right output which would be program. So if you want the preview(left) as an external output it won't work. With the bugfix i mentioned above there will be a new projector for the real preview(left) so you can have both, preview and program as seperate projector outputs.

Awesome - I need to hook up a second HDMI out my laptop so I can have both in the future, but this is awesome for just now....I'm so getting into this software to replace some of my bulkier hardware vision mixers.

Hi Alistair, bit late to the discussion, but I think you are describing something I'd like to achieve on my MacBook Pro.
I run small events where we show videos and have speakers. Before I found OBS, I just connected the laptop to the projector, of course that meant the desktop was visible etc, not very professional!
Then I got asked to do a live stream and found OBS. I always imagined I could send the program to a TV or projector and get around the messy desktop thing.
If I connect my HDMI to the projector, then does the projector pop up as a display option alongside my laptop display?
