Multiboxing for 2 but not exactly?

[nodoze]

it's not clear what any of these do that would help? (vs existing software for boxing)

Can you give an example of how that would be used? (I guess maybe the make 4 virtual monitors out of 1 and using these 4 with 4 aster seats?)

My understanding is that a Multiseat Desktop Configuration requires, at the OS level, multiple monitor devices... I am not sure if any VM solutions can bind VM video consoles to specific monitor devices but if any support that it could help there as well...

To date most approaches I have seen have involved putting the main client (like the Tank) on the primary desktop outputting to a primary monitor and then doing the 4 other desktops' video outputs to a 4+ port multiviewer to a 2nd physical montior to give you the 5+box via 1PC and 2 physical monitors. That means you need at least a 2nd physical monitor, physical multiviewer, & 8 extra physical video cables...

If you can carve up a single 4K or 8K physical monitor into multiple virtual monitors (& especially if you can change those layouts if/as needed) you could get a hardware input broadcast solution all from a single PC with a single large monitor if you wanted. That could well be the simplest/cheapest way to get hardware input boxing solution (single copy of windows, single wow install, single monitor, etc)... Even if you wanted to use 2+ monitors, having the ability to carve up a physical monitor at the OS level virtually could allow you to do it without the extra physical cables and multiviewer in the middle...

I am not sure if any of the solutions actually create virtual monitors at the OS level but if they do that could allow some creative options which is why I brought them up and asked if anyone has tried them...
