I have taken a render to help. See where that arrow is pointing? That is a display for many things (Diagnostics, security and other). Now, I would like to have a cam, (like in image) facing the MechBay. So, what ever the mech does, I would like to see it in the display. Is this possible?

This is a really execellent question. If you have Poser 5 or 6 you could, but only as a final animated movie. Setup your scene. save it. Now Animate the mech as a sequence, (example turning it's head around), next save the mech sequence as an animated pose. Now render out an avi. Make the video the same size and aspect ratio as the control panel. Do a save as but NOT a save. Load the first scene, this time point the camera at the panel and the mech in the background. Apply the saved animated pose to the mech. Now apply the video as a texture to the control panel. You may need to tweak the settings on the video texture to get the timing right, as sometimes the 1st few frames may turn black. Also don't forget to consider the end of the animated sequence/avi. Will it loop or end. Then you might wish to add some static images to the end of your panels clip in a video editor.

I know of using movie nod in the material room. I guess I have to go that way. I was hoping to have a cam view on the mech and it will automatically show on the display without using the movie nod in the material room. Unless their is a way to do so.

You could be right. I think you can only use one camera at at a time in poser.

Unless it has been changed in poser 6 (not likely) then you can only use one camera at a time.
