Hello,
I love MM and it's ability to run on Windows. I have been using it lately to drive lots of multi-monitor/projection installations.
Recently I am integrating these tools using an Intel NUC Hades Canyon NVK to drive x6 Epson 2250u Projectors plus a single HDMI monitor for control.
I have one problem in this world and that is getting the machine to boot up with the screens in the same order. Sometimes screens #1 & #6 are switched, sometimes the desktop is in the wrong place. Keep in mind I am not switching the ports between boot cycles. Also worth noting is they only switch places every 1 out of 10 times (approx) even though the boot cycles are identical.
If this is going to live in an unattended roof based enclosure I don't want to have to go up there and manually correct the sequence of screens all the time.
I write to the community and devs at large to see what can be done? I want MM to be the best tool in the world for this even if Windows' screen settings are not MM's purview it needs to be ironed out.
So lets see if there are any queries that would help:
1) Has anyone else encountered this?
2) Does anyone know of any tool or piece of software that will force monitors to be in a certain order, resolution, sequence, etc?
3) Might this not be a problem if I am using a dedicated GPU such as a quadro, 1080, etc?
4) Are there better solutions for multi-monitor/projection setups than a Windows machine? External GPU, Hippo Scalers, etc?
Plenty happy to give a full gear spec so we can all learn how to do this better and be less stressed out
Thank you,
