This is a new attempt for me. On July 29 (see party announcement forum for chaos theory 3) I will have use of 3 conjoined screens across the main stage. I would really like to utilize this, without losing my layering features. Ideally I want to run 3 different computers, one for each screen. I have a midi splitting box, so I can send the same midi signal to 3 machines at once, it's just a tedious matter of building the decks. I'd like some extreme widescreen shots, which I will build, and others that are jst themed across all 3 screens.
My question is has anyone done this before? If so, what was your configuration and how did it work out for you? Am I going to have problems keeping the extreme widescreen shots in sync if they are run on 3 different computers!?
Here are my specs for the 3 machines - I actually have 4, I need to choose 3 and would like input...
1) Athlon 64 3000+, 1GB ddr400, 2x80 7200 raid_0 striping main video drive, 1x160 7200 system drive, 1x250 7200 secondary video, radeon 9800 pro 256, 2xcapture cards.
2) Athlon 2400+ 1GB ddr333, 2x80 7200 raid_0 striping main video drive, 1x120 7200 system drive, geForce fx 5200, 1xcapture card.
3) notebook - 3.4ghz p4, 1GB ddr400, 2x60 7200 - 1 system, 1 video - radeon 9700 mobility
4) 2.4ghz p4, 768 ddr333, 1x80 7200 system, 1x250 7200 video, 2xcapture card, geForce fx 5800(?)
I want advice on which 3 I should use, and if anybody has done this before... It is possible to rearrange some of the raid controllers to give all 3 desktops striping raid, but not so wiht the notebook...
