3 video monitors
Is there a way to have 3 video monitors going at once. One for edit, one for mix, and one for digibase browsers ?
Cheers |

Re: 3 video monitors
If third monitor speed is of small importance I've been using a Triton See2 extreme USB video for a third. It's been usable since Mac Version 3.
1-19">1-27">19" (Mac card for 2 & USB2-vid #3) The 27: has DV + HDMI with picture-in-picture for DVD/BR checking or final viewing. PPC G5 DP 2.7 |

Re: 3 video monitors
I always use three monitors for PT. The only time that have I ever encountered any troubles is when you have a video preview track (if you're viewing the video within PT, and not on an external monitor) split over two monitors. Of course that is just common sense *not* to do that, though.

Re: 3 video monitors
I might also add, that having done this a TON, you get the best results with two of the exact same card... Also the older AGP machines HATE this and will crash everytime... PCIe seems fine...

Re: 3 video monitors
Thanks. I guess I just need another video card. And two cards the same is best. Cheers

Re: 3 video monitors
Maybe take a look at Matrox TripleHead2Go.
I am considering this setup on a MacPro: one output for Edit Window, one for Mix Window, and one going to a HDMI splitter for Control Room and Studio TV for ADR. HTH.
