Second Display: Two Screen Working Environment in Silverstack

This article covers features which are only available in Silverstack XT and Silverstack Lab.

Silverstack XT and Silverstack Lab offer the possibility to extend the Silverstack user interface to two screens.

Accessing the Second Display

When a second display is attached to your machine, you can show an additional user interface by selecting “Second Display” from the “Window” menu.

Second Display User Interface Options

The second display opens automatically on the screen that does not hold the Silverstack main window.

There are 3 content options for the second display:

  • List View of clips

Silverstack automatically adapts the interface to avoid a simultaneous display of the same element (List View, Collection View, Player View) in both the main window and the second screen. When an element is accessed that is already shown in the other display it is automatically flipped with the previously shown element on the first screen.
