Getting Started > System Output Setup

•System Output Setup is the editor where you manage the outputs of a system.

•"UI on Primary" is a quick setting for a mixed usage of UI and fullscreen on the same system.

•Reset Outputs will reset all output settings of a system back to current Windows 10 desktop settings.

User Interface

	Select System	default: local system In a project with multiple systems you can manage the output settings for each session member system like so: select the system you want to assign outputs to. Manage all system-output configurations from the same editor.
	Desktop Size of a System	Shows the total Windows 10 desktop size of your system. VERTEX takes over the size that is set into your Windows 10 desktop management.
	Add or Delete Output	Adds a new output or deletes a selected output.
	Reset Outputs	Resets outputs of a system. VERTEX takes over the desktop settings from Windows 10 again. Use when outputs have changed since last project file load or just to take over again the Windows 10 settings. Old outputs are deleted, new ones are created for this System. For surfaces that were assigned only the "old" outputs the output reference is removed, but the surface not. After resets new surfaces are created for each output. If want to use the old ones again, reassigned the to the outputs.
	UI on Primary	Sets VERTEX User Interface on Screen that is defined as primary Screen in Windows 10 Desktop Setup. Use when you want to work with the Vertex UI on one screen and fullscreen renderer on the other connected screens. "UI on primary" removes the primary output from system output setup.
Select an output with your mouse - properties are shown in the inspector
	Size	pixel size of the output
	Location	location of the output into the Windows 10 desktop window

Context Menu

Right-click on an output to open the context menu.
Here you will find some quick actions to create and assign one or multiple surfaces, i.e. a quad-split for a 4 output-vertical NVidia MOSAIC or AMD Eyefinity Setup.

Windows 10 Desktop Settings

VERTEX appropriates the following properties from the Windows 10 desktop settings:

•the number of connected screens,

•total Windows 10 desktop size,

•the primary screen and output arrangement.

Check these settings first. The screen's number in VERTEX can differ from Microsoft Windows depending on your setup and assignment.

warning DPI scaling has to be set to 100%
Please double check the scaling for your screens in Windows 10 desktop setup.
We strictly recommend a 100% scaling for each of your screens. Especially for high resolution screens Windows 10 automatically sets the scaling to 125%, 150% or even higher. This can cause side-effects with calculation in the render editors. To avoid trouble, use the advanced scaling settings of Windows 10.
