We did the 1 x 6 panoramo with two THTG on a MAC PRO. With edge blending and offset settings (accordingly to the edge blending area (10% or 20%)) you have in fact on total screen of almost 6000 pixels wide x 768 pixel high. So each projector/screen will be drive by a submix, and we did send all layers to all submixes. So I had 12 layers wich can be used full screen.
As you know you cannot do content of more than 2048 pixels, so stills and moving images should be cut up in two or three... Or you can try to scale things up, sometimes this works.. But keep in mind your screen resolutions. Some after effekts movies were created in the aspect of the total screen, but rarely run full screen. If you really want fullscreen then you should cut it up into two or three parts wich are played synchronous from the server, but then you might end up with the trouble of playing multiple movies at full speed (25 fps)... I find it different on each show, it is very depending on what you want to show and always keeps asking yourself, how much movies you want to play simultane, and can you do more with stills.
The edge blend we used was 10%, but I find it very hard to get this right. The second show we did with 20% blending, and that is far more easier to get it right. It also makes a difference what projector you use. Cheaper ones are budget wise very fine, but to create overlaps I found it more easy with the better projectors (more expensive, yes!!)
Setting up in a warehouse to program and test it all is a good idea.. You can do a lot there you cannot on the show site.
Hope this helps you, you may give me a call if you like more info...
