MacBook 2 Displays autonomous outupts

Hi,

i like to ask if anyone can help about this, i think is a basic question but i dont have any experience in macs world and madmapper - i ralready do some research but i cant get conclusive solutions...)

I like to buy a macbook (not retina) for a project and use madmapper (already paid the license) to display in 2 simultaneous but autonomous surfaces. My doubt is, is possible to run 2 instances of madmmaper in a macbook pro and to use 2 displays outputs with diferent shapes (its the same content, a video, but the surfaces its diferent so its like two different outputs). Its like having two computers, but to simplify i want to use just a computer to output to 2 projectores... this is possible?

If the setup i mention is viable, can you suggest the best away to connect the displays? (1 hmdi + 1 thunderbolt ? or 2 thunderbolt? (sugestions for adapters?))

Another question how can i run the content (video) in both instances of madmapper with a trigger, so both start at same time?

Thanks for the help
José

Please anyone can tell me if i can run the content (video) in both instances of madmapper with a trigger, so both start at same time?

why have 2 instances of MM ?
since version 1.5 , MM has multi output capabilities.

"why have 2 instances of MM ?" because i really dont know that "has multi output capabilities."

thanks, and sory for my lack of knowledge.. i expecting the delivery of the mac mini because right now i dont have any mac to test..


Please could you just confirm that with "multi output capabilities" i can one video input with 2 diferent outputs (and 2 diferents mappings layouts, because will be 2 shapes so each have to be finne tunning)..

Thanks
José
