KDS Duplicate Screen Option?

[RedPine]

Is there away to connect a secondary monitor to the existing KDS to duplicate what's showing on the screen? The days that we are short an expo, or they are busy running food, the KDS is being turned back and forth for kitchen staff to see what's next to prepare. If there's a way to duplicate the monitor onto a large TV type screen mounted above the existing KDS, that would be incredibly helpful. I don't see any ports on the KDS to make this happen....any ideas/options? It wouldn't be used to clear items, just simply a large visual of what's on the existing KDS.

Do you know which KDS models you have? Flex or the  Elo V2 or V4?

I don't know offhand what model we have.  It's mounted on a swivel bracket and went into operation June 2022.

Ok, most likely a flex, on the backside there is a micro hdmi port (colored blue), you just need to a micro hdmi to hdmi cord or micro to hdmi adapter, like this https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-Flexible-Durable-18Gpbs/dp/B07KSDB25X/  you also need to change some setting on the KDS in the system settings as well as device settings in the toast app. 

Under display in system settings, goto HDMI, Screen Rotation and set to 0

Under device setup in the toast app go to force mirror and toggle that on.
