Set up screens for Multi screen
Choose which monitors, tablets and other computers' screens show your photos, and what each one shows, by dragging modes onto them.
The Setup pane shows every screen Portman2 can show on, each as a box in its own shape with its number: the displays attached to this computer, the browsers on the network with the Live page open, and other computers' screens.
The top of the pane
- Overview — opens Screens Overview, a 3D room of every screen. See Identify and Screens Overview.
- Identify — puts each screen's number on the screen itself for four seconds.
- Modes — the boxes Live, Static, Slot (with its number) and Stats (with follows live or follows static). Drag one onto a screen to give it that mode. See Screen modes.
Displays on this computer
Click a display to enlist it for Multi screen. Right-click one for Reset to Live, Split into 2 (side by side), Split into 4 and Don't split. A display with styling of its own shows a mark that opens it on the Styling tab.
Live pages on the network
Every browser with the Live page open, while the LAN server runs. Fullscreen all asks them all to go full screen. See Tablets and phones as screens.
Other machines
Other computers sharing this library, with their displays and main window, and where each request stands. See Using another computer's screens.
Hover any box for everything known about that screen. Screens that have a mode but are not here right now are listed greyed under Remembered, not here now, with Forget.
