how to connect 2 projectors + a display in resolume

Post by xico-te »

How can i connect 2 projectors (final output) + a monitor for display in resolume?
I´ve got 2 vga out´s and 1 s-video out.
I´ve tried it, but my pc says i can only use 2 outputs.
My pc is a windows xp, amd athlon 64 bits processor, and my videocard is a geforce6600.
Is the problem of the configurations. Or is it really impossible in my pc? Can anyone help me out?
Thanks !

the only way(my way)
buy a active video splitter with s-video or chinch...
and from the splitter to the beamer...

check it...

most splitter support 6 outputs...you can handle 6 beamer...if you have so many ;)

i see what you mean. But what i want is to export two different outputs to the 2 projectors. Like is said in the manuals in resolume
"Resolume can use multiple displays to show different content on different screens.This way you can for instance show the resolume interface (with a small preview) on a monitor in front of you. And then show the combination of layer 1&2 on projector 1 and show layer 3 on projector 2".
How??
thanks anyway anonymous

You first need to make sure all monitors are active under Windows. (Right-click on the desktop, then go to Properties > Settings. If you need general help in setting up a multi-monitor config, search for 'multiple monitors' in Windows Help and Support Center or online.)

Once you're certain they're all active, start Resolume and go to Screen Setup. You should be able to configure each projector for its own combination of layers to output. (Note that you cannot apply global effects to anything other than all three layers combined.)

I've run three projectors and monitor at once, but there seems to be support in Resolume for at least eight simultaneous outputs.

the geforce cards have 3 outputs, but they can only use 2 similtaniously, so if you want any more outputs you will have to get a PCI-E card if your motherboard suports PCI-E. was card(s) are you using drmazoola?

In general laptops can handle only 2 screens. The first is for the internal LCD-Panel and the other for the VGA-output AND video-output. It's not possible to have different outputs between VGA and video...
I think, only with a Matrox Parhalia or other strange triple- or quad-headed cards its possible to do this multiscreen stuff, or you need more g-cards.. which is not a thing for Laptops...

Hey Fellas!
Maybe those MATROX adapters will come in handy?
It seems, they could be a good solution for multiple outputs with a notebook...

TRIPLEHEAD2GO
