Video showing 3 monitor support and PinballX :)

[open6l]

I threw together a really quick video showing 3 monitors after getting my USB2VGA adapter today for testing (Playfield running Video and Music, Backglass running Video and DMD running video on 3rd monitor using a USB2VGA Adapter). Currently my setup is a 2 monitor with the backglass rotated running both the backglass video AND dmd but my intention now with the USB2VGA is to rotate the backglass back to landscape and add the 3rd monitor below the backglass. PinballX is the main reason for my change as it is the first frontend to fully support 3 monitors with video. Thank Tom for this great software!

so you telling me that pinballx will automatically show a FP DMD onto a third monitor ? while you are scrolling through your pinball games ?

[open6l]

if you encode a DMD video and assign it to your 3rd monitor location, then yes

if you encode a DMD video and assign it to your 3rd monitor location, then yes

u mean that it will only show in the screen selection not while u are playing the game

Still gray on benefits of dmd... I thought according to Jason, the magic of the dmd was the look of the physical dmd. If you're using a 3rd regular monitor what is the advantage over your current 2 monitor setup? Can't you use all the same dmd stuff independently but placed on mon 2 in PBX?

in my case I want to utilize my backglass in its true orientation of 1920x1080 widescreen (instead of 1080x1920 vertical) - so running a 3rd screen for the DMD would allow me to do that. Currently I'm limited to a square of 1080x1080 (give or take) with the DMD located below. It's more just to get a more pleasant looking backglass

Not complaining with my current setup - just looking for ways to make it look better and with PinballX it allows me to do this. VP already supports a 3rd screen and hopefully soon Macro's dll will allow DMD output to a monitor as well as a real DMD.

Will you look at this and weigh in...
