Projector Screens changing order on computer restart

Post by Lucius »

Hi everyone.

We have a 4 projector setup, projecting outwards from the centre to cover all 4 walls in a cube room.

I'm having an issue after buying a new Mac recently where on a reboot, the order of our projecter outputs keep changing in the Advanced Output Settings, switching our projection mapping settings and making us have to re-order the screens manually every day we first open Arena.

Hope someone might have a suggestion as what the problem might be!

Let me know if I can supply more information, really appreciate any help here.

Many thanks,
Lucius

Do the screens get the same number and position in OSX?

This is a issue with the new macs in general, it doesn't have anything to do with arena. This is because Mac doesn't specify the different screen outputs so every time you start up, it will give a different name to all connected screens... check this link maybe that can help yuo out.
