The DataShow form will contain two main components, first blue background that will be removed my a hardware video mixer and replaced by a video from cams. The other component is a Text that should be displayed over the blue screen, the text is a subtitle to the spectator.
The Spectators should see nothing but the text and blue background (Replaced by the video).

The display I am talking about here will be further edited in a video hardware MUX to add video to it, then the output is displayed infront of me on a TV. So, it doesn't matter to have the same view on my laptop. It is fine to have spectators view on my form but in case it doesn't add any complexity to the app.

Thanks valery possoz,

Your solution seems to be a valid one. As I mentioned in the comments above, I am having one graphic card on my Laptop that derives the laptop screen and also a datashow (a projector) that is connected through an RGB cable to my laptop. So, I think I will show my control form on my PC display and the output on the Datashow, I think I will use your code to do so with the help of the extended view option from windows.

Thanks SAKryukov for your reply, but I think you didn't get me correctly. I meant by "Control Room" a GUI that controls what will appear on a desired portion of the GUI. I am trying to show certain portion of the GUI to the spectators and control what appear on it using controllers that are not visible to the spectators, I think "Solution 2" by valery possoz is a good approach to what I have in mind.

I am having one graphic card on my Laptop that derives the laptop screen and also a datashow (a projector) that is connected through an RGB cable to my laptop, the "Another Screen" is the Datashow.

1. Yes, I am having one graphic card on my Laptop that derives the laptop screen and also a datashow (a projector) that is connected through an RGB cable to my laptop.
2.it is a WinForm
3. The "Certain Portion" of the GUI is the display I want the spectators to see, it would have a fixed size, but its content is variable.
I think the Second solution provided by
valery possoz is a good one, thanks for your help and I really appretiate it if you have any more ideas.

Thanks Christian,

My problem is not when to make the copy, but how to make it. Anyway, I used the second method (didn't use any intermediate array) and everything seems to be working fine till now.
