Spreading a cue across multiple zones

We have multiple lasers (Unity Elite Pro 5s) set up to each cover a portion of a large area. Is it possible to distribute cues between multiple lasers/zones as pictured below? I know normal distribution assumes both lasers cover the same space and what gets distributed is not based on position, but I was hoping there is some other method that might address this need. I know we could do this for static content by breaking assets up into sections and using multiple cues, but our goal is to have animated content moving across the entire stage, passing between multiple lasers. So any cue could be set to target both zones and distribute between them. Any ideas?

Use Also to. make a new zone as your also to zone but assign it to a projector that's not connected. In its also to tab, select your intended output zones and set the areas as I have. then just output to the also to zone and it will be spread across the two.

Thanks, that seems to do the trick!

I did not need to set up a disconnected projector thankfully. I made 3 zones. The main "Also to" zone that I send cues to, and then a "Left" and "Right" zone that content is split between. The main "Also to" zone has the "Block content of this zone after 'Also to' distribution" and "Block output from this zone" checked. and the "Enable window and Resize processing" for the left and right zones splits the content.
