Resolume Forum

Relatively new at VJing so forgive me for my lack of knowledge. All my prior gigs have just been one projector or one LED screen. I usually just plug my computer in and I'm ready to go.

My next gig will have 2 LED Wall. One in front and one behind DJ Booth. Here is the specs they sent to me:

Absen A5 5.2mm Upstage LED Wall, 16.4' x 8.2' (960x480)
Absen A5 5.2mm DJ Facade, 8.2' x 3.3' (480x192)

MCTRL660 NOVASTAR PROCESSOR 1
BARCO FOLSOM IMAGEPRO II

So basically what I want to do is have different videos on each screen. If possible with my setup, how exactly should I set up my Comp / Advanced Input and Outputs. I've been doing a bunch of research on here and YouTube and still not 100% I understand everything correctly.

Using MacBook Pro | Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB

Thanks in advance!

First of all, nowadays, your Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 M might limit your live performances real quick, as you load many clips and effects at the same time. I´d consider upgrading to a better graphics system.

I usually create my own content, most of the time for each different gig, so it is already divided, in the correct size and positioned for each led wall for each gig. But this is so crazy (a lot of work) and it is just me.

If you are just presenting visual abstract graphics, you could setup your composition like this:
Very basic explanation...
comp size= 960x672
Set 3 slices:
Slice 1 960x672 will cover both panels at the same time. You can set that slice to show layer01 only;
Slice 2 960x480 will cover the upper panel. You can set that slice to show layer02 only;
Slice 3 480x192 will cover the lower panel. You can set that slice to show layer03 only;
Organize slices 2 and 3 to not overlap each other. Position layer 3 right below layer 2, after 480 pixels from top to bottom.
In Advanced Output, move, map slices to the proper positions according to the led panels.

This technique is ONE way to go. It limits you because you shouldn´t change layer´s orders.
Slice 1, the bottom layer, should have one clip on for all times. It is your BG.
You can then turn on clips on layers 2 and 3 to make your visual more dynamic as desired.

Course there are other ways to go.

Cheers!

Yeah, I def plan on upgrading my system.

Thank you for laying that out for me!
