Multiple monitor setup with the Oculus Rift DK2?

[CON AMORE]

I have a technical question regarding how to use several monitors with the rift dk2 which i want to use for Gmod 13.

We are going to run some experiments with the rift and it is necessary for us to be able to see what the participant is viewing on the rift. Therefor we want to have a second monitor that shows us exactly what is shown on the rift. I have tried to make this work for weeks but I haven’t succeeded. My problem is that the rift is in portrait mode as a default. That means that if I duplicate the rift (rotated to landscape mode) the picture on my second monitor will be rotated 90 degrees and the resolution will decrease because the height is suddenly the width (so that my width is now 1080 and no longer 1920). I have tried to make it work with a dvi-splitter with no luck, since I still have to choose the orientation for the output which I split.

When I surf the internet it seems that it is possible to make this work, but I haven’t been able to receive help on forums.

Can anyone please help me?

Kind regards, Niels Peter Nielsen, Denmark

Why are you using a DVI splitter? What video card do you have? If you have a video card with two outputs you can tell Windows that one monitor is in landscape mode and the other is in portrait mode.

I use the geforce gtx 780. I do have two outputs, but I want the same picture on the monitor and the rift at the same time. So I either have to split it or duplicate it. Unless there is some other way to obtain the same result?
