Thank you BHawthorne
You're right about trying to do everything from a single computer can mess everything.Using your advices, I've simplified my project as in the picture attached:
I will use Startech splitters to send the same output for the 5x1 and 4x1 (by not connecting the fifth output)
Is it possible to have a fluent view with this new configuration? :
- 1 full screen clip(with no sound) to the 2x1 eyefinity group (using vlc or any other player without wall settings, because eyefinity makes it detectable as a single screen)
- resolume for the 5x1 extended desktops (no sound also).
Please send your opinions and most important, your experience with Zotac in a similar situation. ( BHawthorne and stickygreen ;) )

In case that Zotac in not active and don't work with ATI (due the fact that their support ask for an active adapter) do you know any other hubs from DP1,2 to dvi or hdmi ?

having the 4x1 and the 5x1 image the same is a good idea, a simple splitter or as we talked about VGA over CAT5 will work for you.

trying to run both this ultra wide 4/5x1 content and the 2x1 content from the same computer is not going to work! you need two systems, either a second computer system or some other ultra wide source... your lack of actual experience in this regard is going to give you alot more problems than you can imagine, take it from someone who's been there.

Also forget eyefinity grouping, this is not needed, and will complicate things even more.

Hello,
Perhaps you can select one nvidia gtx5xx card with two mvd206 at winxp system.that can achieve 12 output that is one big screen with 12288x768 60 hz resolution

if you want put movies or aplications extend on all over 12 screens you have two options:

solution 1. (best and cheap) (adapter costs 300$)
hd6/7xxx eyfinity card with 6x DP
+ 6x zotac dp @ dual hdmi and you will get 12 screen

I said 6/7xxx series bcoz 5xxx e6 has 8k pix limit so in 12 screens you can get 6x1L (12x1L) res 23040x1080(1200) or 3x2L (6x2) 11520x2160(2400)


solution 2. (expensive but i have matroxs/mviever so used that way) (adapter costs ~1400$)

5870 e6 card + 2x dp @ dvi (single link) + 2x dp @ vga (single link) + 3x matrox th2go + 1x mviever103

From each single link I can do 3x800x600 max so I got 2400x600 x4 in eyefenity 2x2L group = 4800x1200 res (if I had 4x active dual link adapters I think 3x1400x900 will be possible

Hello everyone!! This is my first post in this community, so very thx to all of you in advance.

Right to the point, i have a doubt about the first solution posted by duniek. If you use the zotac dual HDMI adapter: What happend with bezel compensation between the screens plugged to the zotac adapters? AFAIK The zotac adapters simulate one screen using two fisical ones; its that right? So, how you use the bezel compensation in this "virtual" screen created by the adapter?

Many thxs in advance!!
