[SOLVED] dual pc elgato issue

[Mulvana]

When I plug my elgato in via HDMI my monitor display goes black. I'm thinking it's because my pc is recognizing my elgato as the main display, but how can I fix that if my monitor is black?

The elgato has a throughput HDMI port which means you stick one HDMI from the GPU to the input side of the elgato and a second HDMI cable from the output of the elgato to the monitor and everything the gpu shows will show up on the monitor even with the elgato turned off.
