Using Sg with 2 monitors

May 8, 2012 7:12 PM

Tags: #dual_monitors #hdmi

Hello, I have 2 HDMI monitors coming from a Quadro 2000 card on a PC. When I select the "enable 2 monitors" in setup, I lose the video playback in my first monitor, but can't get it to display in the second. I can move Speedgrade to the second monitor and it displays fine, but I can't get it to work in both monitors at the same time (video on one, controls on the other, like Premiere). How can I do this? Do I need to have a high-end SDI nvidia card? Thanks!

    When you enable dual display is normal to lose video playback in first monitor. In settings set left field to the width in pixel of main display, and width-height fields to dimensions of second display. That's all.

    I have those setting and I still don't know how to have the video playback in one PC display and the look controls in another.

     

    I can move the entire Sg program to either monitor fine, but when I unlock, say the waveform monitor, it is not visible when I drag it into the other monitor.

     

    I have dual HD HDMI PC monitors: 1920 x 1080

     

    My settings:

    Dual Display Output: Enable

     

    Widow size

    Left: 1920

    Top: 0

    Width: 1920

    Height: 1080

    With dual display enable, the gui is in one monitor and the image in the other, that's as it works. Also make sure the gui monitor is to the left on OS display settings.

    If you want GUI on the right you can send the image to the left monitor using "-1920" in display settings. As Manuel already mentioned, moving the scopes to a second monitor is not possible.

    It still wasn't working till I tried the -1920. Now I have video in the left monitor and gui in the right!

    Try 0 (zero) in the Left setting.
