 Try sending out the subtitles to a Virtual Stage and enabling the NDI Out for that Stage in the Stage Setup and then downloading the NDI Watcher plugin to get the NDI feed into your main file and send it out to a display that way.

is there an option? or do i need to stick to "activate scene" for my subtitles and then listen to them.
