    multiply outputs

    by justches » Mon Sep 19, 2011 7:29 pm

    So it's not possible to have multiply outputs with madmapper is it, i.e. if you had more than one projector to send out to?

    Thanks

    You can use up to 3 outputs with a triple head to go (matrox)

    Hello,

    Is it possible to soft blend the edges of the final output ?
    I have 2 HD projectors set vertically.

    Thank you

    Thanks Franz.
    I can't go higher than 1280 x 720 (2560X720)
    I don't understand why, I have a macbook pro 2011 with this graphic card AMD Radeon HD 6490M
    I am using a tripleHead 2 go.

    Any Ideas ?

    You can run a max of 2x 1080P or 3x 720P via a TH2Go.

    Hello,
    I use VDMX and Madmapper to output 2 X 1080 P with the triple head 2 go , but everything runs extremely slow. Madmapper get up to 75% in my activity monitor, even when I just display a still image. I tested it on a mac pro, with 8cores. do I need to change the graphic card ? (gt 120)
    What graphic card do you recommend ?

    Many thanks.

    gt120 is quite old now.
    If you were to update your gfx card, I would recommend the most powerful available
    (if your wallet allows it of course).
    As always with realtime application, the more power ... the better.

    Hi folks,
    I see that the first post is quite old (2011) so i thought to bring again the subject up.
    I need to run 8 projectors with madmapper. Is there any external graphics card or something similar to triplehead2go that can support 8 outputs and is communicating well with madmapper?

    thanx

    These cards from Datapath can in theoy give you up to 32 outputs from one machine:
    http://www.datapath.co.uk/products/mult ... y-products

    The x4 works with mac for sure. ( 4 outputs)
    I am not fully aware if the DL8 works with mac (8 outputs, can be extended with up to 8 X4 units)

    Seems like the X4 is a litle bit tricky to configure. Not as straight forward as Matrox trippelhead -
    At least that is what I have been told (I havent tried the units myself )

    However,
    With the new mac pro around the corner it should give us a least 8 outputs (1x for screen + 5x thunderbolt outputs + 1x tripplehead = 8 outputs)
    It could be pretty cool if GarageCube would make networked playback sync support in a future version of map mapper (please please please) to get around those limits.

    Hello,

    I'm working on a projet for 3 VP : 1920x768px and two 1024x768px. Unfortunately, I can't check the set-up before the dates.
    I use a Macbook Pro Retina (2013) and I have 1 HDMI and 1 thunderbolt free for the video (I use 1 thunderbolt for audio).
    I think using HDMI for the main VP (1920x768px) and thunderbolt for the lateral VP (1024x768px) with a Matrox tripleHead Digital SE (the venue have the Matrox).
    I use Madmapper to manage the projection.

    Everything work fine on my computer but I need to know if this configuration, with 3P plug, will work fine with madmapper ?
    What about the computer performances with 3 VP ?

    Thank you for your experience.
    Never do this before :)

    Alex

    Yes it will work fine. On my retina 2013 I do 5 full HD output and it works great. However, to get 60 FPS I have to collapse the previews. With 3 outputs no problem.
    To get everything smooth, be sure your outputs are running with the same frequency (ie all three projectors are at 60 Hz or 100 Hz) and if your projectors are 60Hz your movies (if using movies) should be at 30 FPS (or 60 FPS) and if working at 100 Hz your movies should be 50 FPS.
    Cheers,
    matt

    jumping in this one...
    I need to use 2 projectors with MadMapper on MacBook pro. can I connect the projectors to the thunderbolt outputs? will then MadMapper read 2 projectors? what if I use an HMI split? in this case, MadMapper will think I'm using 1 projector?

    thanks, rg
