Hello Resolume Community,
I am currently evaluating Resolume Arena for a large-scale LED videotron project and would appreciate your advice.
System Specs:
• Workstation with NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada GPU (32GB GDDR6)
• GPU supports:
◦ 4 × 4096×2160 @ 120Hz (4K)
◦ 4 × 5120×2880 @ 60Hz (5K)
◦ 2 × 7680×4320 @ 60Hz (8K)
• External LED processor: NovaStar H‑15 (already available on site)
Requirement:
• Drive a 32K-wide videotron display with crisp detail.
• The GPU can technically output up to 4 × 4K, 4 × 5K, or 2 × 8K simultaneously, but in my current setup 2 out of 4 ports are already connected to monitors, leaving only 2 available for videotron outputs.
• If necessary, I may be able to add another PC with the same GPU capability to share the workload.
Questions:
1. Can Resolume Arena create a single 32K canvas and split it across multiple GPU outputs for the NovaStar H‑15, given that only 2 ports are currently free?
2. If one PC cannot generate enough outputs, does Arena support a multi‑PC synchronized workflow (using NDI, SMPTE timecode, OSC, etc.) so multiple machines can each render part of the canvas in lockstep, and together feed the NovaStar H‑15?
3. If I only feed 4K/5K/8K outputs into the NovaStar H‑15, will the videotron show true native 32K detail, or will the processor simply scale up the feeds, resulting in stretched pixels and reduced sharpness?
4. What is the recommended best practice for achieving native-resolution playback on ultra-high-resolution LED walls when the source GPU is limited and some ports are already in use?
5. Are there additional hardware/software components you recommend to optimize this setup, especially if we add a second PC?
I am very interested in purchasing Resolume Arena, but I need to confirm that it can integrate effectively with our existing hardware (RTX 5000 Ada + NovaStar H‑15) and potentially a multi-PC setup to achieve the required 32K videotron output.
Looking forward to your insights!
