    Matrox Triple head

    does the triplehead box work on the 4.0 release or just the new beta? It looks like it might be a lifesaver for me, but I'm nervous about using beta for a show.

    thx

    triple head is a clever vga splitter box - that tells the computer its connected to a very large screen - no drivers required.
    so i believe it will work with any software - unless there are limits on the size of the screen the software expects.

    what i did is make presets to put the sub-mixes in sensible places for the triple head- thats kindof all i did with this.

    you should of course be concerned about using any piece of hardware or software on a show that you havent tested in your situation with your equipment.

    ---

    triple heads are cheap -UKP200 - and whether they stand up to touring - who knows?

    there is also a twin head 2 go which has 2 outputs, i have tested this a little and it seems to work fine

    thanks fr the info. What I think I'll do is stay with my current version and get a triple head box to experiement with.

    thanks!

    I have had a quick play with the edge blending feature and the offsets. From my point of view I need to use the edge blending without keystoning most of the time. Is it possible to switch it on in "Flat mode".

    I also notice that none of the offsets are equal to the edge blend border. A setting of 1 plus & minus gives me a perfect offset to butt two mixes together but I need the additional amount to account for the blend.

    Cheers

    i will see if i can make the flat mode edge blend - a different technique is required.
    you could drag the points into the corners for now.

    i just added -.9 and .9 to the offsets - at the moment the blend is 10% -

    For the shows I do we usually have a projector overlap of 20% as a minimum. Seemed to work best with the Barco soft edge system built into the projectors.

    Cheers
