Does anyone have a tips on how to get 6 channels of sound out of a Mac Pro? Any suggested devices? Can the optical output do this?
The task is to play a HD movie with surround sound on 2 beamers, so I was thinking the Catalyst would be good choice.

use the search button luke ....
Search for " 24 channels " or " tos link "
Do not under estimate the power of the search
there are a lot of sound output boxes from the music and audio companies.Quote:

I use motu ultralites.
other people prefer other devices.
to get multichannel sound - you need to set the output channel assignment in quicktime player and/or final cut
I use the Mbox Pro from Digidesign.Quote:

This doesn't help performance as much as it allows for speeding up programming time by indexing your timecode to play though.
