Native support new Apple M1 Max chips

[gpvillamil]

Nice work! I'm all about your test setup. Thank you for doing this <3

Can't help thinking of this: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9643&p=36967

And how far we've come...

[Zoltán]

Yeah, nowadays we can run our test machines registered. Amazing

I hope I'm not hijacking the thread here. I'm just a Resolume hobbyist looking at buying a new laptop - probably an M1 Apple for reasons unrelated to Resolume. 2 questions...

1) I'm unclear - does Resolume not currently run on M1 or is it just not yet optimized for it?
2) I have a copy of Arena 6. Will that be receiving any M1 related updates or will those only be pushed to the latest version?

[Arvol]

1. It runs, not optimized, optimizations are coming.
2. No, development for V6 has been dead for a while. v7 has been out for a few years now.

What are you using to get 3 screen outputs from your MacBook Pro M1?
It only supports 2 outs natively, yes?

[Zoltán]

The M1 max can do 3 outputs for me, HDMI, and two through thunderbolt.
Maybe it can do more, don't know, don't have any more dongles.

[Arvol]

TB4 can support 2 displays. But you can MST those displays if you're feeling spicy.

Ahh, I'm on a 14" MacBook with M1 PRO - hence only 2 external screens supported natively.
"You can connect up to two external displays with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz (Apple M1 Pro)"
The workaround seems to be a HyperDrive Dual 4K HDMI hub to get a 3rd screen going
but I'm going to try out a Datapath Fx4 first to see what that might do...
so potentially 5 external displays plus the laptop screen for Control.

It's an M1 Max.

One monitor via USB C directly, one via HDMI directly, and another via a USB C to HDMI adapter. I still have a free USB C port, so maybe could add another monitor that way.

The laptop is drawing power from the USB C monitor, which is incredibly convenient. (The monitor has a 210W PSU...)

I don't think MST hubs are supported on Mac OS.

Im running Arena with a 6912x1080 banner wall (HDMI), 1080P monitor (USBC > HDMI), 2x 1080P Graphics channels, Key/Fill thirds via Decklink Duo in a sonnet PCI enclosure connected via TB3. M1 Mac Mini/16GB/2TB. Runs amazing!
