appprojection gives me only one display

[marinos.giannoukakis]

first time with appprojection trying to get an output out of 3 projectors.... currently connected with a matrox tripleHead2go expansion... why does appprojection only gives me one display.... do i have to do something to get the rest of the viewports....??! this is for an almose CAVE like config.... suggestions for other possibilities would be good....

 

i would like to use AppWall to be honest but i can t have the windows and on fullscreen mode every viewport seems to stuck behind the other.... so question 2 is there a way to get fulscreen viewport spread to the projectors with AppWall or just widnowed ones......???

Hi Marinos,

 

Is there particular reason to use tripleHead2go device? You can just connect 3 monitors to the GPU and use AppProjection and AppWall for rendering. With tripleHead2go I think you should use someting like AppSurround since it designed to split one big picture to multiple monitors.

 

Thanks!

do you mean connecting 3 monitors with a splitter or something.....? Normally i can only get two separate outputs from my GPU (double Nvidia 880).....but then again i still have the issue of AppProjection giving me only display0 in the wall and projection setup.... and still get AppWall in windowed mode (since as i ve said on fulscreen it just piles up one view port after another)......

 

the problem with AppSurround is that i can't define the viewports and i want one of the viewport to look at the terrain.....is a floor projection.....

 I sorted it out with AppProjection works well with the Matrox too.... another question is i can define the width in the parameters to manage the display, is there another parameter like height or something that can manage vertical arrangements......????

Hi Marinos,

 

AppProjection supports only horizonatal configurations (only -width parameter is available). AppWall can be used with vertical configs as well.

ok one last thing then, and i am sorry for my persistence.... is there a way to get AppWall not in the windowed mode and still spread through the projectors......???

 

Obliged by all these fast answers..... and i apologize is my first time on a CAVE like arrangement.....

Hi Marinos,

 

In case if you will connect 3 monitors directly to your GPU AppWall should work as expected. Unfortunately. we don't have triplehead2go on our test farm, so it's hard to tell what is going on after you connect this device to your computer.

 

Please, take note that all the connected monitors should have exactly the same system resolution. More details about AppWall launch process you can find in our docs: https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/2.2.1/principles/render/multi_monitor/appwall/

 

Thanks!
