Programming interface on Second graphics card?

[SourceChild]

Hmm, i hadn't really thought about editing the XML files directly...

The reason I do this is because my little tool allows me to preprogram a 100+ preset and cuelist before ever even getting to show site. It also allows me to close Catalyst and replicate settings between cues very rapidly.

Granted, I must close Catalyst to use my tool but it's freaking fast.

...but i don't think it will help with the kind of programming i need to do, which is inherently real-time and always rushed!!

Welcome to the world of Production.

I am aware of the issues surrounding outputting video from two card, and having issues with sync. That's why i suggested using using two THTG on a single X1900 for the two ouputs and then using a second card purely for programming, hopefully this would prevent any issues.

I've only tried this once but I had a show where I was driving 12 old TVs. I wanted to use Catalyst but only one machine. So I stuck 2 X1900 cards in the machine and tried 4 TH2G boxes. I also tried 2 Quatro FX cards as well.

To put it simply, they just don't work. I even tried hacking the hell out of the core operating system to spoof it into thinking each video card was a single output.

The bottom line is that 2 cards just don't yet work with Catalyst.

Perhaps someday (maybe after Snow Leopard) Richard will integrate support for 2 cards.
