Hello! We are looking to potentially switch to Xlights as part of a multi-year switchover to RGB. Currently running all LOR. Thinking we would switch to Xlights for both programming and scheduler. Our show is very video/projector centric; we have to stay on our Windows computer due to the projection mapping software only being Windows/Mac and the horsepower to send a 2048x1536 signal out. Hoping to get a 3072x1536 signal out for this upcoming year's show.
Do you know if xLights can do the following?
- Launch a video on a second monitor attached to the computer? We have a complicated setup where we are using two video outs that appear (to Windows) as one display for a second/extended desktop. LOR lets you pick which monitor you want to use.
- Launch video full screen vs. windowed? We run full screen on the extended desktop
- If/when it launches, is there any command window or other pop-up windows that appears? LOR has an unfortunate command line window that momentarily displays…which we'd like to get rid of.
- Launch a script at the beginning of a song/video/sequence? We are doing this for a 5th projector (ie Python script triggering a video file to play on a Raspberry PI).
- Launch scripts during the song/video/sequence? Nice to have but not essential.
Our show has evolved to be video centric so hoping Xlights will work. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
