    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.
