Overview

This topic presents various scenarios how DVI output can be used.

Example: Screen-Capturing With 1 Monitor

▪You might only have 1 monitor [1 monitor output on the graphics card]. But you need to use MADRIX 5 and the DVI output at the same time.

▪In this case, it is recommended to use the MADRIX 5 interface and the DVI output next to each other on your main monitor.
 

▪Your main monitor has a certain pixel resolution [e.g., 1920 x 1080]. Learn more »DVI

▪Position MADRIX 5 in the upper, left corner.

▪Go to the menu Previews > External Preview 1 > DVI to activate the DVI output.

▪Go to the menu Previews > External Preview 1 > Preview Settings...

▪Set up Left and Top under DVI Window Position [e.g., 1300 and 0] .
- The standard size of the MADRIX 5 user interface is 1280 x 768.

▪Activate Previews > External Preview 1 > Lock Position

▪Keep Always On Top is automatically applied/activated.
 

Example: Screen-Capturing With 2 Graphic Card Output Ports

▪When using screen-capturing, it is usually recommended to use a graphics card with 2 monitor outputs.

▪In this case, you can use the complete monitor 1 for the MADRIX 5 user interface. The DVI output is simply positioned on the monitor output 2.
 

▪Your main monitor has a certain pixel resolution [e.g., 1920 x 1080]. Learn more »DVI

▪Position MADRIX 5 on your main monitor. Use the normal window size, maximize the window, or use Full Screen mode for MADRIX 5.

▪Go to the menu Previews > External Preview 1 > DVI to activate the DVI output.

▪Go to the menu Previews > External Preview 1 > Preview Settings...

▪Set up Left and Top under DVI Window Position. Make sure to use values that are outside of Monitor 1; Monitor 1 starts at 0,0 instead of 1,1 [e.g., 1920 and 0].

▪Activate Previews > External Preview 1 > Lock Position

▪Keep Always On Top is automatically applied/activated.
 

Example: Using Beamers/Projectors/TVs

▪You might want to bring MADRIX Effects to external equipment, such as projectors, beamers, or large TVs.

▪Often, the Full Screen DVI output is needed in this case.

▪Also, projectors, beamers, and TVs often require a high pixel resolution.
- The pixel resolution can be set up using the »Matrix Generator or »Patch Editor
- The higher the pixel resolution, the more computer performance is required. Learn more »System Requirements
 

▪Position MADRIX 5 on your main monitor. Use the normal window size, maximize the window, or use Full Screen mode for MADRIX 5.

▪Go to the menu Previews > External Preview 1 > Full Screen to activate the DVI output.

▪Click on the DVI output with your mouse to focus it. Now, perform a Right Mouse Click > Move To Next Screen

▪Activate Previews > External Preview 1 > Keep Always On Top

▪If required, activate Previews > External Preview 1 > Stretch Pixels

▪Activate other options as required. Learn more »DVI
