PC rig for 6 outputs

[jaydeeshow]

Thank you Arvol,

for all the info.

But Oaktown broke down the count differently and I don’t remember talking about external sync hardaware.
7680x2160 that I’ll split in two (vertically) to achieve a 14 projectors blended with 20% for a 360* installation.

Now I’d like to understand:
1) how can I make in sync
2) my projector (hitachi cp-WU5500) have HDMI and I have 1 FX4 HDMI.
3) the new projector I’m considering Optoma ZH510T (native 1080p) and EIKI EK600U - WUXGA
4) none of them have SDI ( it’s a low budget project)
5) if I consider to buy the Optoma or EIKI they have HDBaseT I need some senders can you recommend any brand! I did buy with Oaktowm advice some very reliable Atlona 70ps but the sender only it’s $300 instead of $350 for the kit. I’d love to put one unit in rack with media server i7 4.0ghz 32gb ram and 256 ssd for Windows 10 and 960 ssd for the content and Asus strix gtx 1080Ti.

Thank you for the wise advice in advance.

Best,

With 14 projector's, you're looking at 4 Datapth FX4's, Correct?

What is your overall composition size for everything?

1) how can I make in sync

Sync shouldn’t be an issue since you’d be using one GPU

4) none of them have SDI ( it’s a low budget project)

The big limitation of SDI is that you can’t do 1280x800 or 1920x1200.

5) if I consider to buy the Optoma or EIKI they have HDBaseT I need some senders can you recommend any brand! I did buy with Oaktowm advice some very reliable Atlona 70ps but the sender only it’s $300 instead of $350 for the kit.

Atlona AT-HDTX, I just bought 5 for a new project on Amazon and they are ~$180 a piece.

Thank you!

I’m optimizing the system and I read many threads on cpu and gpu:

I should be ok with this server?

i7 @ 4.0ghz 6700K
16/32 ram
Asus 1080Ti base clocked at 1480Mhz.

Thank you in advance for your advices.

Best,

J.

Should come down two 7680x2160 at 30hz (on the datapath fx4)
In order to achieve 14x1920x1080 on a 360* project.

I’m only concerned for my i7 6700K. It should work but I’d like to hear from someone that had test it before.

Thank you!

Good post.
I learn so much there.

Thank you!

Hello
I'd like to know now many frame delay has a datapath fx card.
Thank you

This is a good thread.

Here’s a hopeful question - let’s say I didn’t use the loop thru (in order to achieve 60Hz) but I used two different outputs from the GPU, each to its own Datapath FX4-SDI.

Would a simple BNC cable sync the frames?
