Funkiemitch Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hi all, I'm setting up a watchout system for a theatre tour. Components: Windows 7 64bit 16 gb ram I7 3770k Asus sabertooth z77 2x intel 520 ssd 120gb Hd7970 dc2t3gd5 Datapath rgb e1 Decklink SDI 2x. Panasonic dz770 Poduction: 1x hdsdi capture 720p50 1x macbook pro capture 1 main background graphic will be used and max 2 duplicate hdsdi captures 2 questions left 1- will my specs be capable of running a smooth wathout show 2- I'm looking for the best solution to connect 2 panasonic dz770 projectors on to my watchout display computer. It will be used for a theatre tour. So no much interference with main power cables etc. My three ideas: - DVI ->. Rgbhv running 50m cable and connected on the rgbhv from the projector - DVI fiber 50m http://www.kramerelectronics.com/products/model.asp?pid=783&utm_expid=56716085-7&utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kramerelectronics.com%2Fproducts%2Fsearch.asp%3Fs%3DDVI%26src%3D9 - Displayport -> VGA running 50m cable Thanks, Mitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogen Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 1. Yes, with this specs 2 outputs will run as smooth as butter 2. Best suggestion to use DVI to fiber on distance more than 25m 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkiemitch Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi Geogen, thanks for the reply. 1 question left: what do you prefer running 1920/1080 or 1280/720 to the projectors. and will the pre split be necessary for custom made video files. thanks, Mitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted January 29, 2013 Moderator Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi Geogen, thanks for the reply. 1 question left: what do you prefer running 1920/1080 or 1280/720 to the projectors. and will the pre split be necessary for custom made video files. thanks, Mitch that's two questions It is always best to feed the projectors at their native resolution. So if the projectors are 1920x1080 native, use it. For two 1080p outputs, the need for pre-split would be dependent on the movie encoding. You should be able to get a 3840x1080 @ 25p to run smoothly with attention to encoding settings, and possibly even 3840x1080 @ 50p or 60p. This is something you should test and tune on your system as part of its build / certification process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombadger Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hi all, ... 2- I'm looking for the best solution to connect 2 panasonic dz770 projectors on to my watchout display computer. It will be used for a theatre tour. So no much interference with main power cables etc. Up to 40m you can use HDMI active cables - http://www.purelinkpro.de/Professional-Produkte/AV-Connections/HDMI-Copper-Cables/High-Speed-HDMI-Kabel-Active-Series-v13-v14::558.html Up to 100 m you can use HDBaseT based extenders - those are getting more and more popular Those ones have nice price: http://www.cypeurope.com/store/store/app/browse/category/5430/HDMI-Distribution/HDMI-Over-CAT/Single-CAT----up-to-100m/ Over 100m you either have to go with proprietary long range extenders over cat5/6/7 or fiber optics. Up to 300m this one is very nice: http://www.purelinkpro.de/Professional-Produkte/AV-Connection-Systems/HDMI-Fiber-Optic/FiberX-Series-HDMI-IR-Single-Optical-Fiber-Extender::527.html It uses only one fiber, but have two way communication.
