For the past XX years I have been in the lucky position of working via a technical rider, contacting event production teams who know what they are doing in advance and making sure everything is set to go, for when myself and the artist I work with arrive for line checks.
Time to step up my game.. my next job has me overseeing a festivals visual content all night and solo. I am planing on sending my output to the LED screen on stage with the use of a datapath FX4. I will be outputting a signal from my 2017 MBP (or I could use my 2015 MBP that never fails..) to the datapath FX4 which will split this into 4 different sections for seperate LED panels.
My first setback is how to set up Resolume to output to the datapath FX4 https://vimeo.com/199456011 (thanks Oaktown)
AND also output the complete composition to one seperate monitor for my preview front of house.
It is the 2nd seperate monitor that I am having difficulty with configuring in the resolume advance panel, is the only way to have more hardware between my MBP and the FX4?
My second setback is cables.. Outputing my signal from my front of house MBP to the data path FX4 back stage, I have been told SDI / fibre optic and I am not certain.
There will be a technical team on hand, but I would like to know what you guys suggest. I need my touring MBP set up to become something that is going to get me through the night with no hassles.. Thanks!
