    Multiprojection technical configuration

    by yukijung » Tue Oct 30, 2012 10:00 am

    Hi all,

    As I am not a technician perhaps someone of you could help me out please?
    I have to create a new videocontent for the decoration of a club in Berlin.
    Until now they had an installation of 3 projectors over the bar and 8 others around with the same videocontent (the same signal just splitted into 11) on all projectors and run this with a soft called Pro Video Player where you can programm your loops and let run the installation without any vj.
    I would like to change the configuration a bit now: A new videocontent over the bar, means the 3 projectors with a matrox triple p.ex; in 3840x800 and in the same time on the other 8 projectors a second videocontent with one same signal p.ex. 1280x800.
    I have the impression that this installation is not possible on one Mac and Modul 8 or Madmapper or am I wrong?
    Thank you for helping me..Yuki

    Doable. With a Mac Pro with with multiple video cards you can get a total of 8 outputs, then connect Matrox Devices as needed.

    you mean 6 outputs?A macpro w/ HD5770 will only give you 6 outputs. There is no option to output to multiple Video cards in madMapper.

    BUT as a workaround you can duplicate the app for each output. It's unsupported but it does work and the overhead in terms of GPU usage is quite low.

    I've done a multiprojection setup using 1 modul8 and 4 madmappers opened at the same time and it doesn't work quite well for this purpose as there are frame differencies between every projectors and you can see it…

    you can see the setup here but there's no video sorry
