nDisplay how to assing render target to different monitors in same computer

Development Programming & Scripting

I’m setting up a nDisplay configuration. I’m able to set up the layout in the editor without problem, and also set up the configuration properly, but as I’m trying to render both outputs in the same computer, I’m having the issue to assign which render output goes to what physical monitor. The documentation is not clear about this particular case. Can you please point me out in the right direction? I add the code and a picture.

both render slave screens pop up one over the other in the same phisical monitor.

I have a solution thank to @L05

in the [Cluster_node] section you have to add WinX/WinY to add a shift in position for the windows of the cluster nodes, that shift is in pixels and can be positive or negative according to the position of your main display.

my code ended up looking like this.

[cluster_node] id=node_1_dn addr=175.159.86.23 screen=screen_1_dn viewport=vp_1080  sound=true WinX=0 WinY=0 port_cs=41001 port_ss=41002 master=true

[viewport] id=vp_1080 x=0 y=0 width=1920 height=1080 flip_h=False flip_v=False
