Hello all,

I'm working on a stage with one central prompter made by a classic computer monitor which is placed on the stage. I would like, such as with videoprojector, simulate content on it but I'm not sure that it's possible for basic monitors ?

Thanks

Here's what you can do:

Assuming you already have a model of the monitor you are using

Put a box with the same dimensions as your screen and a height of just 1 mm just in front of the screen.

Make a video source (NDI or such) or a short movie clip in the video player with the content that you need to see on the prompter screen

Add a material

Choose a Video player or a video input as a texture

Put the luminance on 600 nits 

Add the material to your surface

Group the model and the "screen" together

Many thanks, I will try it.
