Rise Player is capable of displaying a Presentation over more than one display, but needs to be configured in advance.

In this example I am configuring two displays that will be side by side in landscape mode. Both displays are set to a resolution of 1920x1080.

I need to configure Rise Player to treat two displays as one large display, so I will take the horizontal resolution (1920) and multiply it by 2. My new screen width with be 3840. Since I’m not stretching over any vertical displays, the vertical resolution (1080) stays the same.

Windows

  1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\rvplayer. Replace your username with the name of the account that is logged into Windows.
  2. Right click the RiseDisplayNetworkII.ini file, then click Open With > Wordpad.

  3. In Wordpad add the lines:
    screenwidth=3840
    screenheight=1080

  5. Connect any additional Displays and restart Rise Player.
