Yes, PADS supports displays in landscape as well as portrait mode.
Depending of the location where the display is placed or the content you want to play it can be interesting to use a display in portrait mode instead of a display in landscape mode.
Most display manufacturers nowadays have built-in support in their display driver to work with a rotated display and have all content automatically rotated. When your display driver doesn’t support this we advise you to use special software. One of the available tools to rotate your information is the Pivot software of Portrait displays (www.portrait.com).
Please be aware that some of these tools use the information of the video memory of your PC in order to create a rotated image. This means that if you use a hardware mpeg decoder for the playback of videos that writes directly to the screen and bypasses video memory, any video processed by this decoder on a rotated display won’t be visible.
