Maybe I'm trying to make things more complicated rather than simplifying them...
We're a camera club that puts on presentations.
Right now our computer has two outputs, the main one to the projector (and to a preview monitor to view image when projector is muted), and a lower resolution "control" monitor where we can select the files we want to show, JPEGs, video files, PowerPoints, etc. If something we open appears on the control monitor that we want on the projector we use the Windows-Shift-Right to send it to the projector.
But today I came across the "Elgato Stream Deck" and wonder if something like that along with control software may make things easier rather than trying to find something in Windows Explorer. Then on that I can have shortcuts to things used in every presentation, including a shortcut to the Windows-Shift-Right key combination.
This is the "Stream Deck" (each key is an LCD screen that you can change via the software, and are backlit so I can see in the dark theatre):
One of the programs I came across is "Screen Monkey" but barely looked into it yet...the only thing is we're not-for-profit so have to watch the expenditures, but looking forward to your replies/suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
