Topic: Is VDJ 8.2 incompatible with Matrox TripleHead2Go?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

When I click the video on/off button (master video output) on my skin in VDJ 8.2, the program crashes to the desktop (and then automatically restarts) when I have my Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition connected... Is there some incompatibility I should know of? I need this adapter for my dual-language sessions.

I have set VideoForceFullScreen=1 by the way... Don't know if that matters.

Mac or PC??

Ita been awhile since I've used either one of mine but ill pull them out and see what happens later tonight.

The only thing I can think of is a drivers issue but then I dont think it'd show up altogether.

PC.

I've got the latest driver installed (with support for w10 it says).

Thank you for your time and trouble. Appreciate that.

Have you tried setting videoForceFullScreen back to it's default of 0?

I was going to answer you with a rhetorical (and slightly ironic) question, but then I realized... anyway, the short version: it now works. Thank you once again, Scott!

Now, before you go thinking I'm completely daft, some background info: It took me a whole day to get the Matrox dual screen splitting function working in Windows 10 (opposed to the 5 minutes it took me in Windows 7), namely, by discovering a certain combination of settings in Windows and Matrox... But it worked only when using Virtual DJ (outside of VDJ, the displays would only be halfway visible), and I couldn't turn off the video or VDJ would crash.

During the trial and error I tried many video settings in Virtual DJ. That's actually how I discovered the force full screen option in the first place. But after finding the best combination of settings in Windows and Matrox to get them - more or less - working together, I did not try to turn off the force full screen setting again in VDJ. I now have and VDJ no longer crashes.

For anyone interested: in Windows I set the resolution of the Matrox device for all three displays (3 times the width x height), but in the Matrox configuration utility I set the resolution of the amount of displays used (in my case: width x height x 2).

Make sure that in Windows 10 under display settings the slider of size of text, apps, and other items is all the way to the right (100%) and under advanced display settings in advanced sizing of text and other items the custom scaling - if used - is also set to 100%.
