I'm evaluating a demo version of Blue Iris. I have a dual monitor setup with an Nvidia 4700 GPU. How can I move BI to view on the 2nd monitor?
I can't drag the BI window, nor can I find any setup controls to move the BI display.

Also, I have a 4K setup. How can I determine from the BI user interface if BI is being output to the monitors?

Any tips appreciated. Thanks!

You may need to un-maximize the window with the middle button at the upper right corner:

With your eyes. I'm not sure if I understand the question.

Look in the top bar above the cameras for the pencil-in-box icon:

If you click that, you enter the "edit layout" mode and you can right click in the video area to access a menu of options, including "open in desktop frame". This lets you create 1 or more additional windows which you can drag and drop cameras into, and you can put the windows wherever you want on any monitor.

OK. Thanks There is a hand that appears when on the very edge of the window and now I can move the window.

Im looking for a display BI setting that shows that BI is outputing in 4096 x 2160 vs 1080P for example.

I used to see several layout options like 1:7 now i cant find any layout selection. Are those layouts still available?

They are no longer available that I know of. You would need to use the new "edit layout" mode as I described in my previous post. It has far more capabilities at the expense of being more complicated to configure.
