Hardware for 10 projectors and one display

Post by marcossch »

Hi, I will have 8 projectors with an image of 8440 x 800 and 2 projectors with 1280 x 1440. They will be on different walls, but synchronized. And the monitor to manage Resolume. 11 vídeo outputs!
Any suggestion for the best setup?
One pc can handle this with which graphic cards? Would it be better two Mac Studios?

Thanks

Sounds like one GPU with 3x Datapath Fx4s should be able to do it.

AJA Corvid 88 for the 8 projector blend.
HDMI/DP out to a FX4 for the other 2.

Hi Arvol,
Does the AJA Corvid 88 do all the heavy lifting processing for the 8 outputs?
And would this work with an M1 MacMini via Sonnet Echo Express SE1
if not, what would be a good off-the-shelf PC to drive this?

Just looking for a dependable 8 source out video playback machine!
Thanks
John

AJA Corvid 88 is an output card. Your dedicated GPU will be doing all of the rendering. The Corvid cards are sync'd outputs (Similar to the Quadro line from nVidia). IDK about OSX support as I don't touch mac's but I believe it "should work?". You would then use a HDMI out from the same machine to connect to a FX4 for the other display outputs. and a second HDMI out for your UI. There is also a SDI version of the FX4 so you wouldn't need converters inline (If your PJ's have SDI in)
