[PD] live pd patch mixed with Gem or pdp?

is there a way to do these screenshots such that they don't actually show up
on a screen visible to the user i.e I don't have to show the raw Pd patch to
the user, only the mix? This is a 2-headed machine (one machine --- I'll use
2 if I absolutely have to) and the plan is to show a Gem or pdp window
fullscreen on one head and a pdp window fullscreen on the other. This leaves
me not sure where to put the Pd patch for the screenshots.
