Datapath FX4 help
Posted: Thu Jan 06, 2022 00:06
Hi, I bought 2 Datapath FX4s for use with a Mac or pc and have some questions. I want to do a 5x1 (9600x1080) wall and a 3x1 (5760x1089) wall on opposites walls. We have 8 Optoma projectors that run at 1920x1080.
1: Is that configuration possible with the datapaths? Do I set the resolution of the walls in Wall Designer or resolume?
2: When daisy chaining Datapaths , do you need to input very high resolutions in order not to have degradation?
3: After your setup is wired, can you relocate (monitor order) datapath monitors in software?
4: Is it better to use usb with 2 datapaths or use Ethernet cables?
5: If using a Mac, does it matter which model for 8 monitors at full resolution?
Helping a friend setup at a club and am a total newbie to this stuff. I suggested buying the datapaths but he’s more comfortable setting up a computer with multiple GPUs using AMD cards and eyefinity software, so needed help setting them up.
I know this is long winded but thank you for any help. I
