Karaoke on TV using multi-monitor
If you want to control the karaoke parameters and the playlist in one screen and output the karaoke display on a TV or a widescreen, just read this:
First, you need some hardware and software:
- TV Output on your graphic card or two graphic cards
- The latest drivers for your specific card
- Windows 98 SE or better (Windows XP recommended)
Launch KaraFun and select the Options menu in the main menu (Right-click in the KaraFun player window or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P ). Select Player tabsheet.
Select the second monitor in the Output monitor. If you have only one monitor in this box, check your drivers and the cable between the TV and the PC. Ensure also that the TV cable was set when starting the PC, a lot of graphic cards are doing the TV screen detection at the boot time.
If you always want to display karaoke songs on that second screen, select the Start in fullscreen option.
When you are in fullscreen mode, notice that there is no border at all.
Click OK and start a karaoke to check the result. If it doesn't fit, you can try to set a smaller resolution (640 x 480 on a TV screen is enough!). You may also have to set the number of frames per second to 50 Hertz (PAL) or 60 Hertz (NTSC) to have a correct TV display.
The best thing about this program is not only that it's free and easy to use, but It also has a function where it lets you search for karaoke and CDG file directly from the propram just like windows explorer. It then lists all the files as a playlist, which then all you have to do is click the song you want and you're ready to sing away!
Very nice karaoke solution.
