Split a 2160x576 signal in 3 screens

Post by tetill »

Well, I was wondering if with resolume and a potent graphic card (which one?) I could put 3 4:3 signals divided in the 3 layers of reslume to be projected everyone in a diferent screen but the total signal would be one image with the total size of 2160x576....

I think, this could be possible!

I would recommend t check out the MATROX site, they are the only company which produces grafic cards with 4 outputs I know.

In Resolume, you can configure each output and what you want to have dispalyed (eg. Output 1 - Layer1, Output 2 - Layer 2, Output 3 - Layer 3, Output 4 - Preview Matrix).

If I understand you right, you want to divide one big "panorama image" into 3 separate outputs. If so, it is your job to prepare your footage properly (that the edges fit together) in after effects for example.

But I guess, this kind of use will need a beast of a computer.... no matter what software u use.

anyway, i really like the idea. good luck! :cool:

Je je, yes I agree, I will have to try it anyway. At the moment I have a mess on my brain cause I have lots of information and I don't know from where to start but trying it is the only way to make up my mind. Thanks therandelman

Thank you Danger, I hope that with 3 screens will work also. I'll try when I buy a 2nd graphic card cause I still have one. Does anybody recommends me anyone? Or a combination of two? I have a Geforce Mx440. Thanks

you will have to get a PCI-E or just a normal PCI video card for your other one, cause all(???) motherboards only have one AGP slot. i dont know what cards come in PCI or PCI-E though i think the radeon 9200 come as a PCI, not quite sure though

stay MATROX

Post by therandelman »

compared to some of the latest consumer gaming card prices with ATI or GeForce chipsets, yo can easily get a MATROX card with quad output support (G450 MMS, G200 MMS) prices start at € 400.-

if you already have one matrox, you might experience less compartibility issues, than when mixing brands... just a thought...
