[Avid-L2] OT: Rack mounted CPUs w/out Monitors Issue

Hello L2 Hive Mind!

I'm trying to determine if:

1. I'm being snowed by the IT department.
2. There is a solution to what I will describe below.

THE SITUATION:

1. My school has 20 - 30 rack mounted PC CPUs running Media Composer and the Adobe Suite.
2. None of the rack systems have monitors connected to them.
3. Students connect to these systems remotely, using Splashtop, so they can learn the various apps.

THE ISSUES:

1. Within the Splashtop display window, the remote computer displays only what's about a 4 x 3 area as opposed to correctly displaying 16 x 9. Essentially a 4x3 Center Cut-out of the 16x9 (or wider) possible display area — so, there is dead space on either side of the 4x4 image: i.e. it's pillar-boxed.
2. The greatly reduced screen real estate makes using the systems less than pleasant.

WHAT I'M BEING TOLD:

There is no solution to this.

MY INSTINCT:

I have a hard time believing this is true. After all, it's 2021 and we have flying cars . . .

Thoughts?  Possible solutions?

Thanks in advance!

Benjamin
