orfischer Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hi All, I heard recently that people successfully use Mac Mini as a display machine using Bootcamp. I would love to know if this is possible. - What are the ups and downs? - What are the recommended specs for the mac mini? - How many outputs you can get from each mac (i know that it has 1 hdmi, 1 MDP, but heard you can extend the MDP to 3 outputs). - Can you use a capture card using a USB 3 port? Thanks you so much, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dataton Partner Walter Posted December 23, 2015 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi there. Apparently nobody active here is using this that way. My I ask why you would like to achieve this as oppose to using wp2 for instance? With regards to capture card : for a PowerPoint presentation of such, yes, capturing via usb3 (or preferably thunderbolt (use a tb hub if you need the outputs) will work. Live camera will lead to too much of a delay to my knowledge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasami Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 We succesfully use Mac Pro Cylinders with bootcamp as display computers. I think a Mac Mini as a display computer is not worth it becasuse you can only use 2 video outputs (1 HDMI and one MDP). I don't know if the 3 outputs with one MDP works fine. The other thing is that if you want a fast capture card, you don't have adittional ThunderBolt Ports, you must use USB 3.0, and the lattency of that cards is worse than TB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
