Sorry, don't know.

Normally not. Amiga delivers only one video signal as it has only one
set of video chips. There are special add-on boards of the framebuffer
type that can display separate images, but most of them need own,
specialized software to operate.

But in the special setup mentioned here, with a laser player, there
you could easily connect an own monitor to the player (showing the
chosen informations/pictures/film sequences) and use the Amiga monitor
for control (e. g. by touchscreen).
