Matrox Triple Head not recognized!!

on by the way the content was made at 768x1024 so it was useless to work @ 1280x1024 so I've switch back as you saw on the list.

And even on 1024 I had frame dropping ( hard one like 15fps )


Personally I wish to get down to 800x600 but the Graphic Designer prefer to use 1024 and animation even at 15fps ...

which codec are you using?
Animation codec?

How many layers at once?

What discs? ssd?

you have one output at 60Hz and one at 75Hz - this is not good - this can lead to poor performance.
also 6 outputs is really a little too much- and not recommended- even if you can make it happen.

Yes ( i did not want to use it but the Graphic Designer want it )

How many layers at once?

4 ( they goes down to 15fps )

What discs? ssd?

Wait ! again that it's the snap shoot I take but it's not what I've used during the show .

also 6 outputs is really a little too much- and not recommended- even if you can make it happen.

I know this, read back my post I always suggest 2 Dual Head 2 go.

I wasn't making this setup I went there and I found it like that. Was not my job to set it back in the right way.

But it's true that if you need 6 different outputs to run few movies it useful to know that the listed hardware does 6 output at 1280x1024 .

B4 USING IT CHECK IT YOUR SELF

Yes ( i did not want to use it but the Graphic Designer want it )

4 movies at 1024x768?

please email me pdf profile of show so we can check the data rate of these files. or give me file size and movie length.
animation can be close to uncompressed. so can overload a single sata channel data rate.

with animation movies the game is different. the data rate can be high, and very peaky, and somtimes cpu load is also peaky.

one movie was 295 Kbit/s

Can you pls consider to add a command in the Web server to turn ARD on / off ?

not sure what you mean?

ARD has 2 components - it has a client- called the vnc server which runs on the computer to watch - and a remote viewer application that in this case is called Apple remote desktop ( ARD )-

When ARD is not running on the remote computer - it doesnt do anything on the computer being watched- it has no impact on performance-

Performance is only impacted when the computer is being observed - if you arent observing the screens nothing bad happens-

oh well in this case I had no problems , since I was not using it during showtime .

the remote management was on but I was not obverse the Remote MacPro while I was programming . I've used only to do the keystone

back to the movies-
what was the data rate?

do you still have these files?can you get them?
