MP4 is a pretty rough format for batch encoders. MPEG streamclip and apple's compressor both have issues with it. Adobe media encoder and Sorensen squeeze does a good job of handling it i've found. Using MP4's is probably the number one reason resolume will repeatedly crash on new users. I've seen m...
A good rule of thumb is not using dual gpu cards because Resolume seems to have some issues with dual GPU cards. I ran into random crashes when a team member brought a server with a test 6990 in the machine instead of our old standard 7970. We're using GTX 680's now and its been great on render time...
What resolution do you want these 5 layers to be playing at?
The second one is slightly better GPU wise. Notice that there is no hard drive mentioned in the pack. Grabbing a 1TB drive and 120GB ssd are more important then the slight difference in video cards.
Stickygreen is right on the money. Grab a pci intensity pro, it can handle what you want. But using composite is gonna look pretty stretched making it fit a 1600x900 LED. Using Sdi may be a better fit for your budget since your LED walls are so big. Have you tested your triplehead into the led contr...
I read that CITP was being worked on for Resolume 5. A sneaky work around for now is taking MaxMSP or Quartz composer and converting Resolume's OSC output to art net.
Keep me updated on the details Trypta. That Quadro 5000 I got from you is on a fairly light video tour but i'll have it back on monday. I'll do some stress testing and see if the 5000 and k5000 have the same bug. When a solution comes about give me a shout on facebook.
