Confidence Monitor Settings

My church has two external displays: a projector (main display) and TV screen at the back of the room (reference display). We are able to get a slides image on both screens but we would rather have the rear TV on the confidence display setting.

This is our setup....
Mid 2009 Macbook Pro / Mavericks
Triple Head2go Digital SE - Output 1 to projector, Output 2 to TV

We've played with the settings but can't figure out how to assign confidence settings just to the TV. Is this possible with our current setup/hardware?

Thank you

Spencer,

Can you explain what the "Countdown Timer" is in the Confidence Monitor settings? To me it would be really helpful if you could show a countdown timer of the time left in a video item since we can't see the video on the confidence screen... unless you could make videos play on the confidence monitor automatically... hint, hint. :-)

Thanks,
Josh

"Countdown Timer" is in the Confidence Monitor settings?

The countdown timer on the Confidence monitor is a timer that reflects the countdown clock shown on a service item. To set it up for a video item, do the following:

Create the video item (or select a previously created video item)
Enable 'Show a countdown clock' in the video item settings (If it is in the Service section, you will also need to set a time that the countdown clock is counting down to)
Go to Settings -> Confidence Monitor Settings and enable the countdown timer

Now a countdown timer will show on the Confidence monitor that mirrors that countdown clock shown on the video item.

if you could show a countdown timer of the time left in a video item since we can't see the video on the confidence screen

This is possible if you have the video in the main Service section. What you need to do is enable the countdown timer as we did above. Then set the length of the countdown clock for the video item to be the length of the video; You can do this by entering 'X minute' as the countdown duration for the countdown clock (see screenshot).

Let me know if that works for you!

That does work. Thanks for the clarification. Here's a question to take it a bit further. Is it possible to only show the countdown timer on the confidence monitor? It's a little distracting to have it on the main screen too.

Thanks,

This is not possible at the moment with the way the confidence monitor is designed.
