Hi, we've got 2 Matrox G450 Dualhead cards for 2 of our 3 new machines.

They run in what you call 'stretch' mode fine - but following the instructions in the FAQ, it has no settings to set each monitor different, so results in one desktop 2048x 768.

That's fine with Myriad set to 'force dual screen display' it works great. The only problem is with the recorder on the bottom bar, the side of player 3 is not symetrical with the start of the second screen. Is there any setting to change this or anything we can do to line it up?

The only way we can make the players line up with the edges of the screens is to run in the independent monitor mode when we get the information about where the split is. With the stretch mode, we can only divide the total screen width of both the screens into slots for the players, and as you say, the record cart means that this is not an even split.

You don't say which version of Windows you are running, but I think that the answer may be to try a different driver for the Matrox. If you have used the default Windows driver, this often does not allow the option of the separate resolutions.

Try getting hold of the latest driver from the Matrox site, and installing this. If you already have a Matrox driver installed, then you may need to uninstall this first, before replacing it.

When you run the installer, you may get an option to enable advanced features. If you do, then say yes to this. Once the driver is installed, you should be able to follow the steps in the Enabling Dual Screen FAQ.

Thanks for the help andrew, i'll give that a go.

Right, sorry to necro the old thread...is it possible to have carts across two monitors? The stuff that comes up on the right hand side is never used.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is a work around but not an ideal one.

If you set your system to stretch the desktop across both screens (i.e. not be able to run both monitors independently) then Myriad will see this as a single large desktop and stretch accordingly.

The down side is the split may not be even which means that the Carts and Cart Controls are likely to be split where the monitors join but if you can live with this then give it a bash.
