Krakerman Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....

Krakerman Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtxjoe Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtxjoe Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Censored Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
