Further testing on Number of outputs from the New Pro pro reveals that you can only get 3 outputs with a combination of DVI and HDMI. Apparently by using dual link DVI cables there will be more outputs available. I have ordered 4 dual links to see what can occur. You can connect 6 thunderbolt monitors - however not much use to us.
We also found that HDCP can be implemented on some switches - we found injecting a Parrot into the chain solved that HDCP problem.
I will let you all know the outcome of the Dual Link DVI testing.

You have to use active dual link adaptors
Which usually means they need to be the powered types

I think display port triple and dual heads to go might work as well

Some people have also tested x4s with 4k outputs

Also there are only 3 output thunderbolt buses- they are paired up- so output monitors in some configurations need to be set up to take account of this

I will look at the X4 and triple heads optional later this week, as we have all of those items.
I was interested in seeing how many individual outputs we could drive in HD.
Active Dual links have been ordered....will let you know how we go.

Using Dual Link DVI - I was able too get 5 (1920 x 1080) outputs on the Basic New Mac pro. 1 was a thunderbolt monitor and the other 4 were Dual Link DVI.

I would post a screen grab - but can't seems to work out how to do this
