Sure you can, I just didn't take the time writing the code that does that in the demo.Kencho wrote:Oh noes! Jaiqua is inside The Matrix!

Each monitor can show whatever you want - it has its own viewport and such.

Now I have to see a game that has "six independent monitors" in the minimum requisites.

Re: An OGRE record - 6 monitors using a single computer
Very cool I can see your company is going to have to buy some more monitors
I presume the fact that all 6 screens are displaying the same image is just a convenience from the demo, and that you could just as easily attach a different camera to each window, getting unique views on each monitor? Just to stop people accusing you of cheating by using a monitor cable splitter

Re: An OGRE record - 6 monitors using a single computer
Then they will say I am playing a different video on each screen, there is no end to it, I took a screenshot of the back of the computer and this should prove that it was only one computer. I don't really care if they believe me or not.

Re: An OGRE record - 6 monitors using a single computer
Would it be possible to stack them 2 high and 3 in a row and use them as one big monitor?
And what is the resolution?

You can stack them up however you want and with whatever resolution that adapters\monitors support.Ruud v A wrote:Would it be possible to stack them 2 high and 3 in a row and use them as one big monitor?

Regarding the code to split the view to different monitors - you can get the base code from this wiki page.

Re: An OGRE record - 6 monitors using a single computer
Don't remember, sorry.
The setup was only for a few minutes because I needed to borrow 2 GPUs and 4 monitors from friends, it was more of test that Nir Hasson patch to the d3d9 render system can support 3 adapters and 6 monitors - this isn't a setup that I have much use to daily .
BTW: Nir did an excellent job and it isn't possible to run 6 monitors in full screen mode without his patch.

QFT. This isn't an area we've really had time to explore before now so Nir's work is hugely appreciated.Assaf Raman wrote:BTW: Nir did an excellent job and it isn't possible to run 6 monitors in full screen mode without his patch.

I remember seeing screenshots fot triple displays. Although this might have been on a single card like a Parhelia or something.
Anyway, great work!

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that. After I saw your post I found this video that shows Oblivion using 3 monitors.scratchyrice wrote:Oblivion does have multi-monitor support.

Now you can create a smiler setup with future OGRE base games.

That's my 4-monitor OGRE system. Oh, and it works on a single graphics card
And right now I'm waiting for a new computer with three GTX295 inside
