Resolume Forum

I am new to the world of Resolume. What I am looking for in the software is a way to control multiple videos across multiple displays. I want to see if Resolume can handle this.

I would like to create a grid of 6 screens. Each 3 screens would run off a mac mini using the Triplehead2go from Matrox. I then have another computer that would ideally control all the screens.

Is this the way Resolume works? Can I "slave" computers to work with a master? Or is there a different way to control multiple computers?

I was unable to find much in the manual to get me started. Any tips pointing me the right direction would be appreciated.

thanks!

Resolume doesn't support this feature at the moment. I don't know if it is on the dev list.

But you could do this with some MIDI and/or OSC parsing I guess (haven't done this before).
What I have in mind:

1. You set up the comps on both mac mini
2. You merge both compositions into one and open it on the third "master machine"
3. Then connect your MIDI controller to a software that can send and recieve MIDI and OSC (MAX/MSP, Processing, Pure Data, etc.)
4. Now what you do is have your controller send MIDI messages to the desired software that does the parsing and have that software forward the messages to the three machines via virtual MIDI ports or OSC.

So if you want to control 3 layers on each mac mini you would have to have a composition with 6 layers on the master. Of course this means that you need to modify the MIDI mapping on all machines: layer1(,2,4) clip1 on the master triggers layer1(,2,3) clip1 on the first mac mini and layer4(,5,6) clip1 triggers layer1(,2,3) clip1 on the second mac mini. And if you want to have a reliable preview on the master you would need to make the comp for the master twice as wide as the comps on the mac minis and offset layer1,2,3 by 50% to the left and layer4,5,6 by 50% to the right. Does it work? I don't know

Thanks for the suggestion. It makes sense, although I am not very versed in MIDI, OSC, etc. Looks like I need to do more research.

I was hoping Resolume had a method to extend beyond the current computer. At least it can respond to control from outside so there is hope of accurate sync.
