Simultaneous Outputs

[morgan.moroney]

Hi There, I am 100% new to Resolume and am trying to achieve this for a production.

I need to project three separate video files synced to music onto three outputs simultaneously, but cannot figure out how to, all I can achieve is the three clips overlaid one another on the three displays. I am running Windows 7 using Resolume 4 Arena.

Any help would be much appreciated

First, you should update to Arena 5.

Then, all you need to do is create 3 screens with 1 slice each in the advanced output and assign each layer to a slice.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately I'm at a school so upgrading is out of my hands

How do you assign a layer to a slice?

I've managed to get it functioning, however at an extremely slow frame rate. The setup is through 4 DVI Outputs on two NVidia GEForce 9600 GT cards on a PC with 2.5Ghz and 2GB RAM. I am trying to play three 1080p files in the DVX format.

The stand out issue from my experience would be the RAM, from other's experience would upgrading the RAM help or is it another issue?

In this setup, the NVidia GEForce 9600 GT cards are your bottleneck.

They only have 512MB of VRAM and on top of that you are using two so your main card is doing all the lifting.

Is your UI display connected to one of the GEForce 9600 GT cards?

Hi Oaktown, yes the UI is.

Ok, so you've got UI + 1 HD output on you main card and 2 HD outputs on the secondary card, right?

I just reread you post and realized that you wrote 2GB of RAM. I thought I'd read 8GB so both your RAM and GPUs are underpowered but since you're using DXV codec I still think your GPU is your main bottleneck.

That's correct. Is there another format I could use which isn't so GPU intensive but is still compatible with Resolume? I could upgrade the RAM but upgrading the GPU is going to be difficult in my situation.
