Edge Blending with DualHead

[Ted Hollister]

Hi everybody,

I'm new here and this is my first post.

Maybe you guys can help me with me questions:
I want to use a Matrox DualHead with Arena on my MacBook Pro over Displayport.
What i wanted to know is if edge blending between these two screens on the DualHead is possible.
I then ask myself if it's possible that I also can control the playback of the videos over DMX (or much better over LAN!) from my Chamsys Light Board.

If yes, how exactly do i do this?

Thx in advance
Ted

Also Arena allows art net via lan. Do you know how to setup artnet on your chamsys board?

[Ted Hollister]

Not exactly.
I know from a friend that they set it up on a Windows PC, but I'm not sure how it works on a Mac.

https://secure.chamsys.co.uk/tutorial for getting an understanding of patching and setting up you system.

Resolume has a built in dmx mapping that chamsys has a fixture for. You just gotta patch a fixture with the resolume personality.

You can also just use generic dimmers and manually map artnet in resolume like midi.

Ok, I'll try that.

Thank you!
