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 and the DVI output at the same time. |
| ▪ | In this case, it is recommended to use the MADRIX 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 in the upper, left corner. |
| ▪ | Go to Previews > External Preview 1 > DVI to activate the DVI output. |
| ▪ | Go to Previews > External Preview 1 > External Preview Settings... |
| ▪ | Set up Left and Top under DVI Window Position [e.g., 1300 and 0] . - The standard size of the MADRIX user interface is 1280 x 768. |
| ▪ | Activate Previews > External Preview 1 > Lock Position |
| ▪ | Activate Previews > External Preview 1 > Keep Always On Top |

Graphics Card Output 1 [Monitor 1] - MADRIX GUI [Normal window size] |
|
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 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 on your main monitor. Use the normal window size, maximize the window, or use Full Screen mode for MADRIX. |
| ▪ | Go to Previews > External Preview 1 > DVI to activate the DVI output. |
| ▪ | Go to Previews > External Preview 1 > External 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 |
| ▪ | Activate Previews > External Preview 1 > Keep Always On Top |

Graphics Card Output 2 [Monitor 2] - Previews > External Preview 1 > DVI |
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 on your main monitor. Use the normal window size, maximize the window, or use Full Screen mode for MADRIX. |
| ▪ | Go to 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 |
