I want to be able to play a 4800x1350 video on the wall. If that`s not possible, then option B would be to control each panel from both HMDI-1 and HMDI-2 respectively.
My questions are:
1 - Is my script above correct?
2 - I read and quote "roVideoMode object is created with no parameters", my question is, where is it created? Is it anywhere that I then need to toggle it on, or is it automatically enabled when videomode plugin is loaded?
3 - I`ve specified the function above, SetVideoMode, on presentation settings > Support Content > Video Mode plugin", but nothing seems to happen (even after closing and reopening the BA:Connected). What should I expect when this is set? Is there any further action I need to do? Should I find my new resolutions under "layout Settings > Output resolution"? Because if I cannot change thi output resolution, then I cannot change the "Zone Properties > Width & Height" to cater for my custom resolution
4 - Can I play a 4800x1350 video, which mean BS will be splitting the video among the 2 HDMIs outputs?
5 - If playing a video that spans the 2 screens is possible, then I image I should create 1 zone that spans both players screens settings, ie, a zone 4800x1350. Correct? (If a zone of that size is not possible, then I`ll create 2 zones of 2400x1350 and run different content in them, not ideal, but we can live with it, if there`s no other way.)
6 - Should I also load a script or something on the player control (via bsn.cloud or DRW) to load the new resolution on the player? I ask because on BSN.cloud > player > VIDEO > Change Mode" I don`t see the resolution I want.
7 - On BSN.cloud > player > VIDEO" I see that HDMI-2 is disabled. Do I need to enable this port on the player direactly or when uploading a presentation that uses HDMI-2, this port will be enabled automatically?
As I`m trying to learn, it woud be nice to have all the answer so I understand the capabilities. I have 4 of these devices to setup
