Video Overlay to a 2nd monitor

[bcorkery]

Can I overlay full screen video to a 2nd monitor with LE on an Mbox2?
I've been asked to do some ADR and the talent wants to be able to see the video in the booth.

Thank you,
Bill

What kind of video card do You have?

Does this help? If I extend the desktop and drag the video over to the other monitor?

I don't know exactly if Your video card works as ours (parhelia and p750).
But most likely you have to setup your second monitor to work as a "feature display" and enable "purevideo" or "dvdmax" in matrox control panel.
Then windowed video will be automatically played back full screen in your feature display.
You need Powerdesk HF version to be installed to access purevideo/dvdmax.
Note that pro tools video window must be enabled in your main monitor, though you can scale it down as much as possible.

I hope it helps.

Thank you Oxelamp. I can get the video to play in PT LE so I'll check to see if I have the proper Matrox software installed and give it a shot.
