+1 for QLab. Last year we used an iMac to push three video feeds to 5 screens with no troubles. (Once we got the cabling figured out that is.)

<div class="">I have a production coming up this fall that I think demands projections. While the content will be challenging (star fields with stars blinking on sequentially & perhaps star field rotating to suggest passage of time, rurn-of the century ship-board
or ocean imagery, some specific views from an office, and, perhaps a montage of planets, nebula, and galaxies) I am right now considering the practical matters of how to coordinate it all.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Since the play will be produced in a 14'-ceiling black box space of some width but little depth, I am envisioning a back wall consisting of 3 screens (the side ones with a door in each). Since the form factor will be wide and short, I am thinking
that 3 projectors will be necessary to cover it, but I envision the imagery moving across all 3 on occasion.</div>

<div class="">My previous forays into multi-screen projections have been low-budget-each projector connected to a discrete computer, power-point or freeware software.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am hoping to look into using Q-lab and Triple Head 2 Go adapter by Matrox for the software and video output, connected to a single 3-year old MacBook pro. If anyone on the list has thoughts on this, and in particular:</div>

<div class="">Which TripleHead2Go? </div>
<div class=""> TH2Go Digital Edition, </div>
