Ganging reference and program monitor
When I create a reference monitor and gang it to the Program monitor, it only gangs when I stop and start the Program monitor. In other words, I start the Program monitor playing and the first frame appears in the reference monitor and stays there until I stop the Program monitor, at which point, the last frame played in the Program monitor appears in the reference monitor. Any idea what’s going on? I want the reference monitor to play alongside the Program monitor because I’m going to drag it to a color correction monitor.
Thanks for your help.

this is normal behavior…
Are you using a Parhelia APVe?
If not, how is the window getting to the “color correction monitor”?
I’m curious about your configuration…

I’ve setup a two-monitor desktop in Windows XP, with the second monitor output being s-video, then converted to BNC. I just drag the reference monitor over to the second desktop and it comes up on the Sony Trinitron color correction monitor.

If this is normal behavior, what do I need to do to make it do what I want, which is for both the Program Monitor and the Reference monitor to play at the same time, in sync?

I don’t think that that’s possible. Windows plays video on the primary monitor, or on an external monitor.
You may want to go in to you display preferences and see if there is a way to make your Svideo monitor a permanent “video” monitor. I’ve done this with second monitors, sometimes there are control panels where you can switch the second monitor on, but not select “extend my desktop onto this monitor”, then make sure that Premiere Pro is set up to feed the external display in the playback settings. You won’t need a ganged reference monitor then…it will be full screen video program all the time.
