Triple Projectors?

Post by gradek »

In the Resolume Manual. It states

"If you have 4 displays you can use one for the interface and sent the 3 different layers to 3 different projectors"

How is this possible?... Has anyone use this setup?... if so what is your setup like?... does it require 2, dual dvi/vga graphic cards?...

Lessee... I usually run two projectors plus the interface, but I *did* run three, once. (To make things interesting, the third was in a different room, so I could only preview using the 'four-up' interface option.)

If I remember correctly, I ran two projectors from a dual-VGA ATI card in the AGP slot and the interface from a single-VGA PCI card (can't remember what it was; most likely an OEMed ATI clone) -- my standard set-up. I drove the third projector from an S-video port on the PCI card.

I've not used it in production, but I've played around with three projectors driven from a single VGA/DVI/S-video card (NVidia clone, I think) and the interface from a single-port PCI card.

Obviously, you lose the ability to use your effects layers and can only use per-video-layer effects...
