<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The best solution I have found is using
video mapping software. The best bang for my buck so far has been
a tool called "MadMapper" for macintosh, and it's companion VeeJay
software called "Modul8" made by the same programmers. In fact
you get a decent discount if you buy them together. Both pieces
of software take advantage of the "Syphon" architecture which is
only available on the Macintosh, which allows multiple programs to
manipulate the output of the GPU simultaneously.<br>
<br>
So, you get Modul8 to handle multiple inputs. On current/late
model mac pro with USB3, that can be up to 4 HD inputs via device
like a Blackmagic Design. ... THEN... MadMapper acts like a
lens, shaping the output to your one or many projectors. On a
late model Mac laptop, you can get 2 HD projectors to run off each
thunderbolt using a Zotac 2T-DP2HD in each. Plus you have the
HDMI output, so 5 HD projectors, and still have your on-laptiop
display as a control.<br>
<br>
Now here's the cool part. You can take your one or many inputs in
Modul8 and send them via syphon to one or many sources in
MadMapper.<br>
You just set your syphon to some obscenely big display size, and
map the input(s) on any combination of outputs in madMapper.<br>
<br>
This link is to a video showing what i did mapping ore than 6
video loops to different facets of walls fro a single off-axis
desktop projector using Syphonn for source controls, and playback,
and MadMapper for mapping and geometry alteration.<br>

The projector was laying at a cockeyed angle on my balled up
winter coat on the table. The mapping software allows me to
correct each output zone for any geometry flaw imaginable. And I
did this with a single laptop, and projector.<br>
