Love the new page Daniel! Thanks for sharing.
Quick question:
Using a Nvidia Quadro P5000, the specs look pretty comparable to the GTX1080.
Having that card send 4 - 4K outputs to 4 Datapaths, and having those Datapaths be in sync with each other,
Theoretically, you could achieve 16 1080p outputs all in sync, correct? (giving you an 8K resolution spread across 16 outputs)
Or in another scenario: Having the Quadro P5000 send 4 outputs to 4 Novastar 4K processors and having an 8K screen be in sync without any tearing. (A scenario I personally would most like use before the previous scenario)
You can't really sync the physical output ports of a Geforce series card can you? So having the Quadro series Sync would be an advantage over the Geforce series, since the physical output ports on that card would be in sync, right?
Once we get 8K processors or FX4's that support 8K input signals, the GPU's I mentioned above can already output 8K@60 per port, so we can even bump the numbers up to scale to the GPU's pixel count per port. We're just waiting on the FX4's and Novastar processors to catch up on their input canvas sizes at this point, right?
Sorry if this is getting a little off topic, but this has been something I've been curious about for about 6 months now. I had a client look to do an 8K indoor LED wall this last December for a Christmas production. And I really didn't know an answer to give them as I've never left the 4K realm of processing myself.
Most of this talk is theoretical for me, so trying to brainstorm with you on this would be very interesting for me, so when I do get asked these questions, I could have an answer I could give in theory.
Until I buy the P5000 card, and connect it to the processors and LED wall, I really won't know if theory and real world applications will work haha
If there is a way to have the Geforece cards sync their physical outputs like the Quadro series cards would, that would be ideal for the price point. The Quadro card is $600 more than the 1080ti, so having the outputs be in sync, would be worth the $600 IMO
Thanks for any info you might have on this.
Again, Love the new page (nothing wrong with old one Joris
)
I'll be sure to send that link out to the FB people that always ask these kind of questions.
