Is it possible to view 9 cameras in a 3x3 grid in Blue Iris?

[IPCamDude]

Hi guys,

Still kind of new with BI and hoping to be able to view my 9 cameras in a 3x3 grid. Is this possible? BI by default wants to put 2 rows of 4 cameras each and then a third row with only one camera. I've tried dragging the layout slider in the bottom right but all that does is enlarge one camera's view, I'm hoping I can get 3x3 of equally sized cameras.

Thank you.

are the camera windows all the same size? or some 16:9 and some 4:3?

all the same size

All 9 cameras are set to 3 MP, with 2048x1536 resolution. I double-checked each camera's properties in BI and it is showing that resolution on all 9 cameras.

Thank you for helping!

I dont think this is possible because blue iris is trying to minimize dead space between cameras and of you do 3x3 on a 16:9 screen you will have more dead space...it might work if you had a 4:3 or 5:4 screen..i dont know..

If you don't want full screen it will work.

Cool is that on a 1080p monitor?
If you adjust the screen like paarlberg says it will go 3x3 on any screen...but you loose alot of area.

The monitor is set to 1920x1200, I use about 60% of the screen, but could expand it more if needed. You might not be able to do full screen, just adjust the BI window to get the most out of it on any screen.

It may or may not meet your needs but there is a Java app I wrote that would display the live views in a 3x3 grid.

It is wildly different from the Blue Iris interface though..
