display at the external monitor the scores at Genos 2?

[RonnyM]

Hello Genos2 owners,

is it now possible, that you can display at the external monitor the scores and at the Genos2 screen you display the Genos 2 functions

What i mean is: Do you can display 2 independant contents at both displays, especially the scores.

Best regards
Ronny

Hi Ronnie,

Have a look at monitors that have a PIP (Picture in Picture) feature. I used to have a Samsung 24" a long time ago and the PIP sizing was adjustable. It was quite expensive at the time. An issue that I had was the relative size of each screen as they are obviously a lot smaller and this was one of the reasons that pushed me away from it. In your case you might want a score as an A4 portrait and the Genos in landscape, but that might not fit so well alongside or in the same orientation....something to think about. A couple of screen & score prints and down to your local shop might be something you really want to do before you try. I used to do cardboard cutouts before deciding on the size of TV for my lounge Anyway, you might also want to consider two smaller screens.
Hope this helps

The screen on the Genos 2 can have a normal display and the external monitor shows the result. You should enable lyrics/text in the options. If you are still using a tablet, it can display PDF, Text, Word .... Watch the video.

It just looks like that because I described two options. All you need is an external monitor that you connect to the Genos with an HDMI cable and set the settings to Lyrisc/Text. That's all and you'll see the notes on the external screen.

Hi Ckobu

It is rather a pain that the PDF files cannot be read on such an instrument as the Genos2, but as you say,
a Tablet or a laptop can get around the problem.
It would be nice for Yamaha to implement PDF's to be read as there would be less electrical clutter

All the Best
John

From a technical point of view, I think the built-in display is too small and has a too low of a resolution to be able to display PDFs. And Yamaha would have to code a PDF viewer, not a trivial task.
