Hi Richard,

Thought you like to see... A photo of yourself adjusting curve corrections @ Utrecht. The show was a big succes.

For those who weren't there. We did a 360 degrees round projection with a diameter of 12 mtr, 8 projectors and 4 CatV4 servers. In the Center a DL-1 with a CatV4 server for extra effects. We produced the content ourselves by making content or adjust existing content for this purpose. The projections consisted of panarama's, all around. Little 'shows' on music triggered with MTC. At night we also did a little VJ thing on the big screen.

See the pictures to get an impression of what was happening. The side screen on the photo's was done with 4 DL-2's.

Thanks again Richard for the support on site.

Richard , you in that picture sound like the Symphony No.7 in A, Op. 92: II. Allegretto .

Actually all 4.10 sound like the Ludvic Van's Seven Sympho

Great Job !

hi richard,

great job with optimizing the application. i had running on a ram disk an 8 bit uncompressed 1920 x 1080 pixel and 25 progressiv frames per second movie. movie percentage on catalyst was constant at 50%. so there is enough performance to do some other gimmicks;-).

more as 200 MB/s that's really great!!!

regards

mike
