Vertical monitor mirror to Horizontal monitor

[zamboknee]

I have an audio booth and a producer's station. They share the same computer but I have a vertically oriented monitor in the booth and anther monitor at the producer's station.
The booth monitor is the main one and it's mirrored to the station monitor which is vertically oriented as well.
I'd llike to flip the station monitor back to horizontal, keep booth in vertical.
Is there a way to mirror the vertical monitor to the horizontal monitor without it dramatically shrinking the working screen area?
Basically, the horizontal (station) monitor would look like any old monitor while mirroring the vertical monitor in the booth.

Hopefully I was clear there.
Thanks!

Hi. Old studio guy here.
You want the content on the screens to rearrange itself according to the orientation of the screens? Then it's not mirroring, is it? I think you might be chasing the wind here. A typical solution for a thing like this would be a tablet connected to the mac by wifi in sidecar mode. Wouldn't have to cost very much.

It doesn't exactly make sense to mirror to a different display orientation, as the aspect ratio would be completely different and the view would have to shrink in order to fit and be pillar/letter-boxed.

As I'm sure you've already figured out or noticed, mirroring one direction gives you a pillar-boxed view (black bars on the sides of the station's horizontal monitor, showing the booth's normal vertical desktop view); and mirroring the other direction gives you a letter-boxed view (black bars on the top/bottom on the booth's vertical monitor, showing the station's normal horizontal desktop view).

I would either:

• Put both monitors in the same orientation if they're going to be mirrored.
• Put them in extended desktop mode and move windows between them as needed. This might not be feasible if you're unable to see the booth's display from the station.
• Get another monitor for the station, to have one horizontal and one vertical. Have them in extended mode, but mirror the two vertical ones. Then the station would have its own horizontal (and private) monitor, and you can move things to the vertical one that you want to have displayed in the booth.
