Onyx2 Monster Mode software? - jebmayers - 03-24-2019

Has anyone has any experience with the MonsterMode software for combining output from several Onyx2 graphics pipes? Does anyone have the software?

Cheers,

Jeb

I'm not familiar with a specific MonsterMode software release from SGI, though they did offer an OpenGL Multi-Pipe package that allowed the end-user to combine the output of several graphics pipes.  Pretty sure I've seen that one on Ian's Depot site.  

The only Reality Monster I ever got close to had specialized DG-5/DPlex display generators with interlinking cables that apparently offered some form of graphics hardware "Plexing".  Unfortunately when I saw it that Monster was being decommissioned so I can't offer any anecdotes about how or what software it ran, though ISTR being told whatever software it ran had to be specifically modified to take advantage of the DPlex option.
