I have been looking around at this and it looks kinda cool. Yet $1500 for a commercial system and professional installation that is HDMI compliant is a bit steep for an idle plaything atm. Does anyone know of any software that facilitates this sort of thing?

The TV version of this tech is super cheap. One of those is only like $100 or so as it is used in CCTV systems world wide but the HDMI digital versions are fairly new still.

Hopefully with questions come answers.... Big smile

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

yeah theres a utility that does exactly this with EVE clients and it's free. Should be down in the eve technology section of the forums. I'm on my phone and don't have the ability to link it right now.

Help, I can't download EVE

sample image http://dl.eve-files.com/media/1306/example%5B1%5D.png

I have eve-o preview and no it doesnt do what I want this to do. As it is the resolution thats the issue. Tiling outputs 1080p resolution to multiple "tiles". You can set your monitor up for any resolution and do the eve-o preview but the individual client resolution is the entire monitors resolution and your effectively just splitting 1080p in half effectively and on a big screen this just ends up looking horrible and like an old Nintendo game graphicswise. So each tile IS a full 1080p resolution, hence the price tag atm. The TV version has been around long enough that its cheap but Id have to output HDMI to A/V and then into the converter and then back to HDMI and into the monitors and that wont work as its digital to analog and back to digital again.

If I can find software, thats not proprietary, I MIGHT be able to use another computer as my processor to run it all. Tbh Im not holding my breath as I have been researching this for weeks now and it does look like the systems are out there but its not in a decent price range for a normal consumer yet which is unfortunate for me atm. As with that price tag I can simply buy 4 monitors and a stand and run that cheaper than buying the entire processor.

Thanx though for the try Rain.Smile

Hi, so my answer is a "sort of" because I have tiling and use it with EVE, but I am playing on Linux with a tiling window manager:

https://awesomewm.org/

This is basically a window manager framework since the whole behaviour can be programmed in the configfile which is written in lua. The tiling is the default behaviour and you can also do fancy stuff like callbacks to rearrange or move windows based on the character you log in.

EVE is not officially supported on Linux, but CCP Snorlax is providing a native launcher with integrated wine to start EVE clients.

So yes it is free, you just need to learn a new OS and programming language Blink

Oh I hate liking a CODE nutjob on the forums!! You are ruining my immersion!!Twisted

No this will work just fine as I bought a new computer and the super old one is going to go to the linux project bench as I have been meaning to learn it for a long time now. Cheers.Big smile

There's a minimum dimension for the EVE client, and going smaller than that is downsampling. It's impossible to trick the client into going smaller at the program level for an un-dithered result.

That portion is no problem I just need to get a normal resolution on a bigger screen. Its just a ***** a giggles project to see if I can turn my tv into 4 different monitors basically. Due to the native resolutions it gets really nintendo old school graphics at a lower res and really ugly at a high res with a screen that size in the client. Then using something like eve-o preview it still looks horrible at any resolution. I can see why the processor itself for these commercial units is so pricey in itself Im just curious if I can mimic it for cheaper for something to do.
