360 projection screen Computer hardware

Post by blueacid3 »

Hello everyone, I need help in putting together a computer system to display 4 projectors with individual outputs all which I can warp the image independently. My source will be coming from DirecTv in which I will only display one channel but like to have 4 single displays on that 360 screen. Im going to use arena, and was going to use VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 2 GB GDDR5 PCI Express Graphics Card 900322
and a capture card for DirecTV such as Avertv HD DVR High Definition / Analog Video Capture Card PCIe MTVHDDVRR. So far Im not sure what kind of motherboard or amount of ram and processor type to get.

If anyone can make some suggestions to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

You'd be better off going with a nvidia card than ati with resolume/in general...

Anyways, get the best you can afford....what's your budget for the system like?

Well so far this is what im starting off with GeForce GTX660 2GB GDDR5 and using an HP Envy h8-1534 PC. Using its AMD Six Core FX-6200 Processor and 10GB DDR3 system memory. Also upgraded power supply with a 520Watt block. Now Im left over with an AMD Radeon HD 7570 2GB graphics card.


Now I just need my video capture card, not that im recording video but just plan on running it through arena to have it do the warping and blending i need. Im thinking ill get this one... Avertv HD DVR High Definition / Analog Video Capture Card PCIe MTVHDDVRR.

black magic intensity pro, it's cheap (about $200) and works great with R4
