Question, I have the 3D svga glasses, no dual vga.. I want to have it viewed on another monitor. Now I could setup another system and have it spectate which is a overkill so COULD I use this from Vetra Vip-882 video splitter? If the image in the glasses is doing 3d would that effect what the splitter would see on the other monitor like 2 images? I just want to know, it might be a dumb question but that's why IM asking before I setup another PC.. |

So if you are in stereo mode with your i-glasses (I have the same hmd) then the left image and right eye image are being sent alternating on the same video channel. If you connect a video splitter, and put this signal on a monitor, you will see a sort of ghosted image. The left and right alternate so fast, that they appear to be one image, sort of like being drunk and seeing double. Hope this helps. Sam |

I suggest using an adjunct display driver called a "mirror driver." It duplicates output from your primary video card to a secondary card. Microsoft has some info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/graphics/hh/graphics/dpyddi_33fr.asp I know about it from the DDK (Windows Device Driver Development Kit), but I've never used it (I've always had dual head cards or laptops). Therefore, I don't really know where to get it except for the DDK. However... I just did a little Google search, and... Is a mirror driver now included with Windows? Anyone know? Ku, post more if this sounds like a good solution but you can't find it. There's also a mirror driver equivalent in the commercially available UltraMon (an excellent product BTW... http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/). |

P.S. - When I mentioned using dual head cards... Matrox isn't the only game in town any more. If you have, for instance, a GeForce4 card with both VGA and DVI outputs, a simple little converter "box" is all that's necessary to turn your DVI port into an additional VGA output. From there, your single NVIDIA display driver can direct output from both ports to two monitors. |
