If the second visualization is just the first one scaled and displayed 
in a different location, it's possible to use the D3D11 callbacks for 
that. You render into a texture and then you use that texture in your 
code to display it in 2 different places. The scale will be handled on 
your side (which can have a bad impact of subtitle rendering).
