No External Preview on Vegas 10
Well not sure why, but with Vegas 10 I’m not able to get my secondary display to act as an external preview monitor. I’ve tried with version 9 and it works fine…
I’m following the instructions as per this article from Sony https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/improved_multicamera_tools_in_vegas_pro_10 but no success…
Any suggestions
Thanks!

This article refers to multi-camera editing, not the external display monitor setup.
Follow this from the Sony Vegas help
From the Options menu, choose Preferences and then click the Preview Device tab.
From the Device drop-down list, choose Windows Secondary Display. The Details box displays information about the device.
From the Display Adapter drop-down list, choose the device where your preview monitor is connected.
You can click the Identify Displays button to determine which display corresponds to each setting in the drop-down list. A number will be displayed on each monitor.
From the Display Mode drop-down list, choose the frame size and refresh rate you want to use for the secondary display.

Select the Use Studio RGB check box if your source media conforms to studio RGB color (black=16 and white=235) and you will be previewing on your computer’s CRT or LCD monitor. When the check box is selected, the studio RGB range is expanded to 0 to 255 to conform to a computer display.
Clear the check box if you will be previewing on a TV monitor or if your source media does not conform to studio RGB color.
From the Monitor color profile drop-down list, choose the color profile that best matches your display.
You can obtain ICC/ICM color profiles from the display manufacturer, or you can create your own if you have a calibration system.
The Use color management check box will be unavailable if your video adapter does not support gamma adjustment.
Select the Recompress edited frames check box if you want to recompress edited frames in your project before previewing. When the check box is cleared, edited frames will not be passed to your preview device.

Well, I did a reset to default settings then followed each step as you outlined and it is now working. Wish I knew what was wrong, but at least it’s working!
Thanks!
