Having problems with Triple Head to Go

[ILCstaff]

Just bought 2 Triple Head to Go's and am having problems getting them both up and running to get six screens. I am able to get one of them to go, but can not get them both going. I have a G5 dual core with an ATI Raedon 9800 XT video card. The G5 is running OS 10.4.8 with Cat 4.06. Any suggestions.

What resolution do you want to have ?

your GPU have just 256 vram .... sad but true it's not enough .....

Any suggestions.

buy an other faster GPU ... sorry but I think there are not other thing to do

If I could suggest someting to eveyone , I'll say that TH2G can't be used on two outputs , and it can't be used for resolution bigger then 3x 800x600 on a single output .

Btw if you consider the cost of catalyst per output you save money anyway .

I've pesonally test a :

NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB (DVI single-link/DVI dual-link)

on a Mac pro

and I was able to run 6 x 800 x 600 .

I 've test a g5 ( don't remember GPU model , it's the standard HES )

I was not able to use two TH2G .
also if I set the TH2G to 3x 1024x768 catalyst can't run , ( send to full screen remain all black , I think this is all about openGL stuff . )
Mac osX was able to see 3x 1280x1024 , but once lunch cat at full screen nothing happen . same for 3x 1024x768 .

some one told me once :

"one never knows until one tests..."

I just finished running a show with 2 TH2Gs. Both outputs are running at 3x1024x768. I'll post a pdf profile if it will help identify hardware setups that work.

old old computer.

you are pushing it way too hard.

the computer is actually telling you something - you need to listen to it...

I am able to get one of them to go, but can not get them both going

this means this computer and/or graphics card cannot do this - end of story...

With my triple head to go, I have 4 screens. The center two are a panorama, I am having trouble getting rid of the seams where the two images meet.

Here is what I am using: 1x Cat 4.06, 1x triple head to go, 4x 5k projectors,

My show is this Monday 3/19

have you ever tried this sort of thing before?

what settings are you using?

what is your projection geometry like?

I tried it when it was still in beta and could not get rid of the seam.

What setting do you need to know.

My projectors are RP with a straight shot.

settings? all of them that relate to what you are trying to do

have you done this before? ( with any equipment not necessarily with catalyst )

Do you understand what this does?

Flat screens or curved?

There are many many many things with doing this stuff.

What do you see?
