Re: [Avid-L2] Graphics Card

fix tearing problem by changing around which cables are feeding the monitors, playing with the fullscreen settings, for example "flip on horizontal" etc, and entering

"moncon off" to the console.

Hi Paul:

I have had a setup like this in the past on Mac -- basically treating your client monitor as a third computer monitor, and running it in full-screen-display. It required an upgraded video card, as well as dual-link DVI adapters to provide extra power to the monitors via USB ports. This can work, sort-of. But it's not as good as having a proper client monitor. Getting a reasonable colour adjustment on the full-screen display is tricky, and it typically exhibits some horizontal tearing on motion which can be quite distracting. This was a couple years ago, so it might work better now.

Cheers,

These will probably sound stupid and uninformed, but is there a graphics card I can use
that will enable me to hook up two monitors and a client monitor, or do I have to go the
in/out box route?

Thanks.
