Hi Jon, I think that you should be able to do this through the Node Management interface. This may be too sophisticated for the wizard (I have never used it, is it different than the Node Management interface or are they one and the same?).
You will have to run an AGServiceManager.py on each machine (Display, Video Capture, and Video/Audio capture). You then should be able to just add each machine to your ServiceManager list in Node Management. Add the appropriate services: VideoConsumer on display, two VideoProducers on VideoCapture, and two VideoProducers and an AudioService on the Video/Audio capture computer. Save this as the default node config and it should just work. We do this in the CoLab because we have multiple display machines and need to run some services on specific machines in some cases. We have multiple node configs that we load depending on the circumstance. Works well...
