Yes thankyou
good.
is there anything else that doesnt look right?
Not at this stage but I am currently doing a show just using the one output. Next week I am doing a multiple screen show which should put it through its paces.
I will let you know.
Cheers

make sure you set the monitors to be the same refresh rate - before starting catalyst.Quote:

Interesting you should say that.
I just did a show this week using 2 Catalysts outputting to 4 screens.
I have updated software and the ATI panels on both machines as per the recommended spec.
At various times through the night I had the same tearing back. I tried switching the ATI panel back to default on both machines and fiddled with some of the other settings
but to no avail.
Both machines exhibited the problem at some point during the night.
Yesterday I set everything up and ran the same show to try and establish where the problem was.
I initially thought it might be the card not coping with dual output. However the tearing appeared on a single output playing only a single file. But then I minimised the window to look at the Catalyst settings and I noticed that the tearing was still happening inside the output window.
Just to try something I switched the disc function from Fast (I have Raptors) to Slow. Problem appeared to be fixed. I ran all of the show from the previous night and the tearing did not appear.
What does the Disc function actually do. Am I limiting performance if I run in Slow mode?

you need to look at the statistics HUD and note down the graphics percentage and movie percentage.
which graphics card are you using?
what os do you have installed?
what compression where you using with your files?
what resolution was your output screens?
what projection devices where you connected to?
and running at what refresh rate?
something does not appear to be setup correctly ?
the 'speed' setting affects a very low level graphics settings, that is way below anything i can do anything about.
depending on what graphics card you are using-
you might also have to install the latest display drivers, and possible firmware-
you can get this from
http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html
which graphics card are you using?
- ATI 9800 (Apple OEM)
what os do you have installed?
- 10.3.8
what compression where you using with your files?
- Photo JPEG @ 75% or DV PAL
what resolution was your output screens?
- 1024 x 768
what projection devices where you connected to?
- Barco R12 but problem still occured when not connected to any projector.
and running at what refresh rate?
- 75 Hz
Everything is stable when I switch to Slow Disc Mode.
Processor Performance is switched to Highest.
Latest ATI Panel and Drivers installed as at January 2005. I will try a re install.
Both Machines have a Raptor as Content Drive. I will check the HUD when I can.
Cheers
