Func monitor
Entity desciption
A monitor that renders the view from a given point_camera entity. When a func_monitor is created, the surface in which the view from the point_camera will be displayed from must be assigned to a material that uses the special value "_rt_Camera" in its "$basetexture" property (such as the dev/dev_combinemonitor* and dev/dev_tvmonitor* textures). It is also a good idea to Justify to Fit in the Face Edit Sheet texture dialog for the combinemonitor surface so the camera view isn't cut off.
Any number of func_monitor entities can only display one point_camera view at any one time (unless you reprogram this entity in some way). So, if monitor A is set to show camera A, and monitor B is set to show camera B, both monitors would show camera A, unless either monitor A or camera A were disabled in-game. You can use info_camera_link as a workaround.
