Currently we are using a setup with 2 graphics cards, a monitor and 2 projectors in our church worship services driven by a program called ProPresenter. The 3rd monitor generally is used as a "stage display" to show text only (lyrics) to our worship team. In ProPresenter, the stage display will not show background images or video clips so, from time to time we need to mirror what's on the front projector to the (rear) stage display. Using UltraMon and enabling a hot key combination, it works flawlessly. Problem is when we are displaying a video, the stage monitor appears "jumpy" as though it's not matching the frames per second on the main projector. Is this a problem with UltraMon, the graphics cards (they're both NVidia GeForce GT430) or the ProPresenter application? I suspect it's NOT ProPresenter because if I run a video in another media player (like Win Media Player or Real) and move it to the 2nd monitor (front projector with mirroring on) I get the same results—smooth on the front (#2) and jumpy on the rear (#3). Any ideas?

By default UltraMon only updates the mirror image 5 times per second, that's most likely what you're seeing. Try if increasing the screen update rate fixes the problem, you can do this on the last page of the mirror settings wizard.
