When projections get worked out, would it be possible to either:

  1. Have a monitor in portrait mode, with a normal font size area going to the audience and the remainder in small font so the operator could look ahead?

  2. Or dual monitors one normal size, 1 small font (somewhat like powerpoint with a main canvas and a separate notes channel) tracking together while scrolling to accomplish the same objective?

Although the projections feature could be used to create a feature such as this one, doing it like that would have a performance penalty. A better way to accomplish this would be to re-structure the code so there can be multiple instances of the prompter and that these are kept somewhat in sync. That would mean re-architecturing QPrompt to be more like Imaginary Teleprompter. It can be done, but it can make for real ugly, hard to maintain, code if not done with care.

I don't see a reason why this couldn't be implemented in addition to having screen projections, In a way it serves a different purpose. The main goal here is for the operator to be able to read beyond what the host can read while still being in sync. The main goals of projections are not needing dedicated hardware to have multiple screens for talents be in sync, and being able to stream a video of the teleprompter's contents over IP.
