hello i have made some research just want to know if they have alternative that i did not see.

i will like to do a 360° projection, i will need 3 projector.s
to connect 3 projectors to my mac i need
TripleHead2Go Digital SE or TripleHead2Go DP Edition
but is so expensive, is there any other alternative for this at better price.

And form what i have read on internet the graphic card can't not handle
3 projector plug with different adaptor into the port of the mac.
example: 2 x (usb to vga), 1x( tunderbolt to vga )

I also think i can be able to make it with 2 projectors depending on how i create my structure.
i also welcome any advise with 2 projector.
dualhead2go, is there anything else.

thanks in advance for any information.
sorry for my mistake in english! i do my best.

If you have no issues with cable length, I would recommand using Zotac MiniDP -> 2x HDMI. It's 60$ each, no software to install and it really works fine.

The Zotac dual HDMI has been discontinued… Unfortunately…

If Zotac is not an option, DualHead or TripleHead is the way.
The USB stuff you propose, it's a video output, but withtout GPU, so all OpenGL graphics would be rendered on CPU (on not supported at all) and would be extremely slow.

At home i have another adapter with multiple connections but i don´t know if it supports multiple connections at once. i will be back home end of next week, then i can tell you more.
