Introduction

What is Split Screen Pro?

Split Screen Pro is a camera compositing system for Unity that enables dynamic split-screen multiplayer for two players or targets. The asset automatically detects when two targets separate and shows a dynamic split line, dividing the view into two halves — one per player.

The system includes extensive customization options for both split behavior and visual appearance, producing results comparable to AAA couch co-op games.

Key Features

Split Screen Modes

• Automatic Split — dynamically splits when players separate, merges when they are close.
• Fixed Split — permanent split with independent camera control.
• Independent Split — each camera's rotation and distance can be independently controlled.
• Single Camera — follow Player 1 or Player 2 only (no split).

Camera Control

• Auto-Managed Distance — camera zooms out as players separate, then splits at max distance.
• Custom Distance When Split — set a different camera distance for split-screen mode vs single-screen mode.
• Occlusion Handling — camera moves closer when walls or objects block the view.
• Rotation Control — vertical and horizontal rotation with clamping and smoothing.

Visual Customization

• Split Line — configurable width, color, and fade duration.
• Downsampling — reduce rendering resolution for better performance on mobile.
• HDR Support — compose both images on an HDR buffer for post-processing.
• Camera ID Labels — show which camera belongs to which player.

Audio Splitting

• Split Audio — sounds are played from the nearest player position.
• SplitAudioSource component — attach to AudioSources for automatic mirroring.
