Remote control and second display
Control Multiview Live from Companion and show the multiview on a second display.
Multiview on a second display
- Window → Multiview on Second Display (⌥⌘O) opens the Multiview Output window with the clean multiview picture.
- Use Full Screen on Display to choose the display.
The app never takes over a display by itself – so it can’t accidentally grab an output that feeds your vision mixer. With Window → Keep Main Window on Top, the main window stays above other windows.
The second display works with USB, Blackmagic and network sources, not with VDO.Ninja.
Remote control over HTTP
Control → HTTP Remote Control (Port 8742) lets you control the app from outside – e.g. with the Generic HTTP module in Companion or a Stream Deck. It’s off by default.
To set up a Companion button:
- Add the Generic HTTP module in Companion.
- Create a button with a GET action, URL e.g.
http://192.168.1.30:8742/cut(your Mac’s IP).
