So I see there have been some updates/additions to the confidence monitors. Maybe this can help my situation. My question is that I would like to add a confidence monitor as we have 2 big screens behind me and I can't see if the next slide has changed as sometimes they don't. I have tried using my IPAD as a confidence monitor though not with the best of luck. My question is, can I use an additional Laptop (wirelessly) to view the presentation that's "on-air" set to confidence or does it have to be connected somehow to the other display? Our setup is 1 Laptop, to a 3x HDMI output-which connects to 2 Big Screens. Do I need to buy a 4-way HDMI splitter? Thanks!
- I currently use a laptop into a docking station. From there, two hdmi ports are thrown to three tvs. Hdmi port 1 goes to a gofanco that has an hdmi input and two cat6 outputs that then go to our TVs. Hdmi2 then goes direct to the confidence monitor. I have never had a situation where the next slide does not change for the confidence monitor, though. I would assume you can split your feed to the confidence monitor using an hdmi splitter or a gofanco like device (depends on your distance), and put an additioal small monitor wherever you are seated. Are the hdmi runs long? Are you using hdmi splitters and maybe losing some signal quality there? Just brainstorming a bit...

No it's not that far of a distance-maybe 30 feet to first tv and 50 to next. The slides can be an interruption from internet signal or wireless slide clicker just not working (happens only once in a while). Thanks, I'll check into the gofanco. Daniel Obodeh (Faithlife) any other ideas?
