Re: So...2016 Arena 5....smooth video playback????

Not to keep beating a dead horse, but curious what some people's work around are to get video playback as smooth as possible. Wondering if there's anything we haven't tried? We use nVidia GTX1080's and keep VSync turned on to clamp our FPS at 60 or 59.94. If we run in 59.94, then content is typicall...

Re: A solution for last minute powerpoints?

Not sure what you're experience is with the NewTek desktop capture app, but last time I use it, it was pretty CPU intensive. I usually do what's been mentioned, hook up a secondary machine running PPT or Keynote, and then feed that in as a live input. Works well.

Re: Controlling multiple servers

I think it would be awesome if there was a way that Arena could manage "nodes" of itself to allow for larger scaling of projects. Could also be interesting to run a master system and rhen slave systems that are just outputs, to help cut back on processing overhead (much like Pandora's Box ...

Re: Hardware Question - MAC vs PC

My company sold our Mac's last year completely. We turned around and built multiple rack mount servers that have been running great on shows this entire year. What I can tell you is that if you want a solution that is running out of the box, with little tweaking, get a Mac. If you want greater perfo...

Re: Your Ideal Media Server?

We've been running X99 witch nVidia and having great luck. Never had any luck with AMD including the new 7100 card, our GTX1080's smoke it.

Playback Performance: Fine Tunning

Hey all - What is the best possible setup to get the most solid playback performance out of Resolume? I'm aware of using a single GPU and then multiple outputs off the same card, but what other variables should I be looking at to make Resolume as happy as possible? We are in scenarios where solid-cl...

Re: So...2016 Arena 5....smooth video playback????

If the client is paying enough and you absolutely cannot have any stutter I use D3. I agree to some extent. We own multiple servers that run Resolume, but we also use D3 as well; we just did a project yesterday with D3. All tools have a purpose and place; Resolume allows us to get into a lot of eve...
