Matrox Triple Head not recognized!!

Wait that was the setup I was using , But that machine allow to use 6 x 1280x1024

your information here isnt showing this.

[emilianomorgia]

ok but it does

[samsc]

ok but it does

did you play any movies?

[emilianomorgia]

did you play any movies?

yes of course , at least 4 768x1024 Animation .

[samsc]

yes of course , at least 4 768x1024 Animation .

i know these things work as several shows have done this, keane did this 2 years ago

it doesnt work consistently across machines

you cant tell someone it will work unless they test it,
and the performance is also not constant.

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 )

4 ( they goes down to 15fps )

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

[samsc]

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
