I work for a Rental company and we are looking for a powerful cookie cutter setup that will be able to handle to majority of scenarios.
Idealy we would want a maximum of around 8 outputs and are looking for a majority pre built solution. Price obviously is a deciding factor however performance within reason may outweigh this priority.
Currently we are looking at the following rack-mounted solution from origin PC.
We would be adding a blackmagic Quad 2 card to this setup.
We will be looking to invest in 2 matching machines

From my small understanding of how resolume renders graphics we would be running the two 1080 founders additions in SLI to give maximum graphics processing and using the primary card HDMI output for running the main resolume window. The display port outputs would be used for jobs with a smaller output requirement and in larger multi projector/display setups we would swap to the Blackmagic card.
we may add a second black magic card at a later date as some events can have up to 8 outputs as well as 4 inputs.
The majority of sources and outputs will be routed through a Blackmagic 40x40 Matrix.
As someone who is very new to resolume i have tried to read up on as much information as i can before putting this setup together but would really appreciate feedback.
