Yes. The xrandr command should do what you want with the --same-as
option (to make the second output a duplicate of the first) and either
the --scale or --scale-from option.  I'd start by trying:

xrandr --output <OUT-1> --size 1920x1080 \
	--output <OUT-2> --size 1280x1024 \
	--scale-from 1920x1080 --same-as <OUT-1>

where <OUT-1> and <OUT-2> are your graphics card's output names for the
beamer and the monitor, respectively.  You'll probably have to query
xrandr for the actual names that your system uses.
