Hi Nikhil,

Yes. It is possible, and you can connect up to four (4) monitors using a C90 codec.

For customization of the outputs and layouts use VideoCompositor tool.

You can download it here: https://developer.cisco.com/web/telepresence-developer/tools/integrators/tc-console

In addition to what Acevirgil has mentioned, use the following options to position selfview on one of the displays:

• Video SelfviewPosition
• Video SelfviewDefault FullscreenMode
• Video SelfviewDefault PIPPosition
• Video SelfviewDefault OnMonitorRole

Also the screenshots in Acevirgil's post I believe are for a different model codec, as Video Monitors doesn't have all the appropriate options for the C90, below is the full list for the C90:

• Auto: The number of monitors connected to the codec is automatically detected, and the layout is distributed on the monitors according to the MonitorRole settings.
• Single:  The same layout is shown on all monitors.
• Dual:  The layout is distributed on monitors with monitor role First and Second. If a presentation is part of the layout, all participants in the call are shown on monitors with monitor role First, and the presentation is shown on monitors with monitor role Second.
• DualPresentationOnly:  All participants in the call are shown on monitors with monitor role
• First. If a presentation is part of the layout, the presentation is shown on monitors with monitor role Second.
• Triple:  The layout is distributed on monitors with monitor role First, Second and Third. If a presentation is part of the layout, all participants in the call are shown on monitors with monitor role First and Second, and the presentation is shown on monitors with monitor role Third.
• TriplePresentationOnly:  All participants in the call are distributed on monitors with monitor role First and Second. If a presentation is part of the layout, the presentation is shown on monitors with monitor role Third.
• Quadruple:  The layout is distributed on monitors with monitor role First, Second, Third and Fourth. If a presentation is part of the layout, all participants in the call are shown on monitors with monitor role First, Second and Third, and the presentation is shown on the monitor with monitor role Fourth.
