Remember how we played all those videos at NSWN and SWS at Pauley - on the center screen and side screens. Well, there was a little piece of cool software behind it all.
Thanks to Brad and the others at Renewed Vision for their help in getting us a trial license to test out their application in a real production setting. I have to say that everything worked out very, very nicely. We had a few snags but we worked through them. Our biggest complication was using PVP with ProP.
Here's how we did our setup:
* Although this was against best practices we did use the primary machine and the slave over a private wifi network.
* The primary was a MBP outputting to two projectors via a dual head matrox external video device powered by USB. This gave us a resolution of 2048x768.
* The slave machine was a MBP outputting to 2 side projectors via a kramer pict tools 1 --> 4 duper. Basically the same image to both projectors.
* Imbetween we used a Kramer scaler vp710 and Corio scaler to manage the middle projector and side projectors.
* I can give more details if you'd like. Some of it is documented on the previous posts.
A VERY NICE about the PVP software is that it'll playback the video in the resolution that the machine it's on is playing. So the primary could output to 2048x768 and the sides could do 1024x768. We didn't even take advantage of the tiling...partially b/c of license constraints.
We're in the process of evaluating the software and will determine shortly how we can integrate this into our present environment at Willard Auditorium.
