How can you use a 2nd monitor for people to view what you shoot live

[Triggerman]

I am curious how you can use a second monitor, such as a TV, to show people what you see while in flight separate from your radio and iPad. Thank you!

use the HDMI out port from the back of Tx controller for a mirrored low res version in a 720 signal

I've tried that and I get a bad response when connected to the radio and operate my iPad at same time. Another question, Is there a way to do this wirelessly?

What kind of radio are you talking about?
What do you mean by "bad response"?
I've never heard of anybody having a problem using the HDMI port out. Obviously you need a monitor with HDMI in.

I just found this thread which you might find useful:
HDMI on the controller

What do you mean a bad response? The hdmi output is garbled, no output at all, the output on the app is garbled, the solo behaves erratically or something else?

You can always use a second iPad. Two can be connected via wireless at the same time.

From what I've read though, only the first connected device will have the video feed. Can you confirm?

That is correct only the first gets the live feed.

If you're on iOS you could try and use Airplay to mirror what you're seeing on your 3DR app to another monitor connected to an Apple TV. Haven't tried it myself, but it's an idea.

So you would need another monitor AND an Apple TV?

I didn't say it was elegant, just that it might work. Ha!

Yes for iOS and Android combo at same time too
Telemetry data is up to date.

Actually I'm more into "works". Elegant- not necessary.
But you might need to hire a Sherpa to carry all that stuff.
