Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Script to automate swapping primary monitors
Zxurian   2013-08-26 11:52
I know Ultramon is capable of automation via scripts, so hoping someone can assist me in setting up the proper script to accomplish what I want to do.

My Default setup is as follows:

1) HANSG 1920x1200 primary
2) HANSG 1920x1200 extended
3) SONY AVP-1 disabled.

I need a script, that when run will switch it to the following:
1) HANSG disabled
2) HANSG 1920x1200 extended
3) SONY AVP-1 1920x1080 primary.

Any help would be apprected.

(I'd also like to automatically redirect default sound to a different device, but have a feeling that's outside the scope of ultramon.

You could do this with display profiles (UltraMon menu > Display Profiles). It should also be possible to create a script which checks if the Sony is enabled or not, and then load the appropriate profile, if you're interested in this let me know.

UltraMon can't change audio settings.

I don't think the availability check is required, although might be nice.

I'm just looking to redirect primary video to my receiver when I want to play games on my TV, so I'd be hooking up an hdmi cable to my video card ahead of time before activating the script / profile.

For some reason, I don't have a Display Profiles option in my menu for UltraMon.

Is there something I have to do to see it / use it?

Sounds like the feature isn't installed, to install it go to Control Panel > Programs and Features (Add or Remove Software on Windows XP), select UltraMon from the list, click on Change, then select the Profiles and Shortcuts feature on the Customize Installation screen.
