Question about splitting monitor

[Krakerman]

Is it possible to rotate a monitor for example 1080x1920 and split the screen into 2 sections to have the top half display the backglass and the bottom display the dmd. If so what do you recommend for the software to split the monitor into 2 seperate displays/grid.

Is it possible to select where you can split the monitor location at? This way I can have 1 monitor for just the backglass and DMD instead of a 3 monitor setup.

Thanks

Not sure about splitting it through PinballX, but I know that DisplayFusion supports split virtual monitors. If you physically rotate the monitor you are half-way there. Have you tried tinkering with the DF split monitors yet?

I think the db2s Backglasses of VP could manage that (Enter the desired resolution in screenres file). You can drag the DMD in position (well, I think you knew that ;-) ).

If you rotate the Monitor in Windows settings this should work - hopefully....

Haven't tinkered with it yet but thought I would pose the ? just too see if anyone has tried it. I will play around with it later to see if it will work.

What you are trying to do is supported already. There are plenty of 2 monitor virtual pinball cab setups.

The backglasses are usually designed for both 2 monitor or 3 monitor setups. The 2 monitor version has space for the dmd image and has virtual speakers to fill in the area like this:

Not exactly as I am already doing that but I have a monitor that can rotate so it's basically 1080x1920 however the backglass will stretch and look funny so I only want the top section of the monitor to be the backglass and the bottom half could be the dmd so essentially it could almost look like you have 3 monitors. I don't want the backglass all stretched if you get my drift.

Unless of course I could change the B2S Setup settings to a different dimension. Hmmmm don't know why I didn't think of that. Guess I'll try it that way and see what happens.

You should be able to do that as a 2 monitor setup. Here is a is 46" playfield with 46" rotated backglass/dmd project http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=14734&page=1

Just found a thread in the vpuniverse Forum about that:

http://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/263-how-to-re-size-or-stretch-b2s-backglass-for-dmdcab-use/

With the correct screenres.txt you should be able to use B2S and dB2S backglasses and DMD on one rotated screen

Nice find! Will try it out.
