Re: [Frameworks] two projector HD video for installation?
Hi Scott. I can wholeheartedly recommend the BrightSign HD222 players for multichannel sync. They can handle H.264 files up to 25 Mbs and they loop and sync flawlessly with no moving parts and no computer hassles. Their Achilles heal is the windows-only authoring software that is usually required to set them up. But you can use simple script files instead (editable on Win/Mac/Linux). You can download them from my website: http://www.zachpoff.com/software/brightsign-video-sync-scripts/ [1] Links: -- [1] http://www.zachpoff.com/software/brightsign-video-sync-scripts/ ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] two projector HD video for installation?
Hi, Scott. I actually have such an installation up right now and can offer my two cents. I had started with a mac mini running multiscreener, but that setup couldn't handle the dual hd no matter what tweaks i tried. I ended up going with two brightsign HD1020s (now apparently replaced by the HD1022), which are networkable media players. The HD220s (looks like they are 222s now) should work too and are quite a bit cheaper (they were just out of stock when i ordered, so they upgraded my order to the fancier ones), so those might be worth checking out. I haven't tried the dual blu-ray setup, so not sure how that would compare. Best, Kate On Thu, Feb 12, 2015 at 11:55 AM, Scott Stark sst...@hi-beam.net wrote: Hi all, I hope this isn't too off-topic.

Another option is to make a single, double-wide quicktime file and run the output through a Matrox DualHead to split it into two.

Re: [Frameworks] two projector HD video for installation?
Thanks Kate. Can they be synchronized? I haven't found a way to sync blu-ray players. Dave Jones made a great DVD synchronizer but according to their website they gave up on blu-ray.
