[QUOTE="priested, post: 216841, member: 3758"] Ok. I messed around with the AMM program a little this afternoon and I think it holds promise for my mini-cab setup! I have to start everything in a certain order or it breaks the backglass program I am using. BUT, provided I start AMM after starting up TPA and the backglass program, IT WORKS! I am able to display and change backglasses and DMDs on the 2nd screen. Since Farsight always places DMDs in the same place (top/center) the partial screen mirroring works perfectly. Where things aren't so great are the non-DMD tables. If the scoreboard is in the center, then it works OK. The mirrored window is usually a bit larger than the score. If the scoreboard is off to the side, then it obviously doesn't work. I now just need to automate things a bit by modifying my startup scripts and this should be very functional for 90% of the tables. Works great for me because I just bought a monitor where the dimensions will hide the DMD on the table and maximize my cabinet...similar to what you have done in your photo. I would not have been able to do this without the mirroring. Thanks for posting this! By this weekend I should have a much improved mini-cab setup! [/QUOTE]
