Resolume 3 + Multi-screen management

Post by jsalmont »

We're in the process of setting up two projectors indoors for a club in St Maarten in the caribbean. There is little to no expertise on the island for this. Any help much appreciated.

Can we use Resolume 3 with either two video cards, a video card with 3 outputs (two dvi and one tv), or a matrox triplehead to manage and project two DIFFERENT video streams on the two projects plus the VJ monitor screen. As I understand it, we need two outputs for the projectors and a third for the vj to monitor what's outgoing. What's the best solution?

Just to clarify, we don't want to span a single extra wide rez clip over two projectors side by side, but project different clips on each projector.

as far as i know there is no graphiccard which can output though 2 dvi and 1 tv out at once, only the new ati 5xxx series can output 3 screens at a time but hat no tv-out any more (just hdmi) and maybe a card with 2 gpu's...

so normally you have to use 2 graphic-cards or a triplehead

Most graphics cards will manage two outputs.

Stick the control monitor (user interface) on one output, and put a TripleHead2Go (or DualHead2Go) on the other output. Set up your composition in Resolume so that different layers are mapped to one side or the other of a double-width composition.
