Techie_v2 Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Hi all, Apologies if this has been bought up before, I did a search and couldn't find anything. So yesterday I had the great opportunity and experience of taking a group of our students to our local theatre to perform as past of the National Theatre Connections program. They had a range of ETC consoles, which of course I didn't know how to use but their technicians were able to program our show from my cue list and could then leave us to run the rehershals and actuall evening show ourselves. Obviously I didn't have many take aways from using the ETC (think it was some kind of GIO, the had a large one with two built in screens plus a remote one for me to run the show from) as I was mostly pressing a go button, but what their tech was doing seemed pretty straight forward. The one big take away I did have though was the external monitor was able to be in portrait mode, so I could pretty much see all my queues on one screen. So my question is, can the FLX switch its external monitor to portrait mode? I can't find a setting fir it so I'm guessing not, but thought I'd ask. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not possible to change the orientation of the external monitor output from the console. However, FLX consoles auto-detect the best resolution for the connected monitor. Therefore if a monitor reported itself as 1080x1920, rather than the standard 1920x1080, FLX should natively output a portrait image. This is not something we have tested.

Edward Z88 Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 To add to this, I have logged the "Portrait External Monitor Mode" feature as reference number ZOS-10942 on our software tracking system.
