Well then just replace it with for example the "syphon to video" actor and point every one to the different isadora syphon stages.

@ michel, sorry for so much trouble, but if i replace it with syphon to video it only gives me the option to send it to stage1. is there a way you send me your syphon receiver plugin or tell me where to find it?

well as written in a post above you have to activate and show all of your 6 stages for it to work, otherwise they will not show up.

@michel i made it so far :) it works at least. in a previous post you mentioned "...you need to activate all 6 stages and send the first 5 via syphon to stage 6."
i activated all 6 but have only 5 available in the drop down menu. so i can't send to stage 6\. and the framerate drops to about 8fps and isadora crashed twice. :(. i attached all my screenshot and my file.bestpeter -
You don't need to have all 6 stages in the syphon to video actor 1-5 is fine. The multi mix goes into the projector and the projector has to be set to stage 6.
This patch is all based an cpu actors so this is quite a big task, 1 line is fine with hd but 5 lines means 5x more impact, you have to lower your resolution the one I have tested works fine with a good frame rate is 640x360 though you loose quality. If you set it higher the possiblity for a crash is quite high.But you really have to go through the settings and see what works best for you.

@ at all you guys that supported me in this project! a big thank you!
Attached you find the final look ( a 3liner was the only possibility, due to dropping frame rate) i added some little stuff to color the letters and backgrounds if needed and extended the lines to 9 letters. the only thing that bothers a little is the frame rate :( it drops down to about 10 FPS the moment i go from force stage preview to output on my external monitor. But maybe there is still a way to optimise the performance still.@michel. when i send stages 1-3 on display 3 like in your example above, the framerate is better but the quality gets horrible. I need to send them to display2bestp. -
