Hi

Thanks for the tips, always helpful.

Reporting back:

I changed OS from 10.8 to 10.6.  installed Quartz 4.0 and the GPU is
performing ok now. All 5 monitors work as they should. I have 2x5770 ati
Radeon GPU and 2 x DVI, 2 x Mini DisplayPort to DVI (dual kink) 1x mini
Display Port to VGA.(for desktop)

The issue I am facing now is that i can´t set the full screen window to
cover all the monitors at once. If I stretch the viewer window in all 4
monitors it shows the image ok across al 4 monitors. When I click on full
screen the viewer only goes into one monitor.
I have 4 videos playing in parallel at 19-27 fps.

I am planing to wrap the QC composition in an Xcode app with the
QCFullScreen App from Kineme (always thankfull).

My question:

Is there a way to make (force) the window with the QC viewer go across the
4 monitors?

The total resolution I am using in the 4 monitors is 3072x 1360 (3x 768
x1360).
I found this app <http://www.msavisuals.com/msa-qt-player/> by Memo Akten
but I can´t figure out the code so I can use it with Quartz Composer
instead of Quick Time.   I am still not good with cocoa..just copy an paste.

THanks for the advice.

I honestly would not have learned all this in Mexico with out the help of
all the people who shares their knowledge.  To you all I cheer.

Sincerely

Mario
