When using global keystoning/edge blending on mixes, they do not apply to the XVGA outputs on the computer, is that correct? Do these new features only apply to pixel sub-mixes and when using Matrox 'Triple Head to Go'? Maybe I'm missing a step.

Thanks!

p.s. you must be excited about the new mac pros that were released. I'll be picking up one soon. I'll have to give Catalyst a try on it.

they do apply to the xga outputs. you have to make a sub-mix the size of the xga output....

turn off the main output.

result is the same.

It took me a few hours to figure that out. It is nowhere described in no manual !!!! Why is it always so hard for Catalyst to get a proper manual...

Any way, now i got it working on a dual head to go... and it runs fine... So the triple head should not be more difficult i suppose.

Still i find behind the two output layers (dual head) a kind of total output... Is there a way to get rid of this??? in case of heavy keystone the output does not cover the whole 1024 x 768 screen....

sorry about the manual thing.
You will have to ask someone at HES about manuals.
they write them...

can you post a screen catpure of what you see?

Hi Richard,

I was trying this on the MACbook pro, with a double head on the DVI output.. I suppose I forgot to turn of the output on output 2...

You should only apply submixes? Then I think it works...

Can you confirm file resolution still limited to 2048 x 2048 ???

[FxDrew]

Gotcha. Tried it and it works for Output 1, but I can't drag any mixes to the second output (they will drag over, but I see nothing on the screen). Currently using m56 beta 1.

[samsc]

you dont drag any mixes to second screen.

you use the hud on the second screen to open the mix on that screen.
use 'z' and 'x' keys to turn on hud on second screen.

this way its more flexible than before - any mix can be 'full screen'- on any screen.

What about a WideScreen option...

like Wide Left and Wide Right... or how i can make a movie moves from Mix 1 to Mix 2 and make the Panorama.... That works easily with the Matrox too ?

[samsc]

easy.

with no keystoning-
set mix 1 with "Mix X offset" of -1
set mix 2 with "Mix X offset of +1

as shown.

select layer 1 on mix 1 and 2.

layer now moves seemlessly between mixes.

To work with matrox you just have to move the mixes to the right place on the screen.
