  • Alternative to whatchout to manage 3 projectors

    Hi there!

    I need your help about videoprojections.
    I work for a theatre company and we have always worked with Watchout for projections and video mapping.
    Actually, I suppose the show we have on the stage is “too easy” and we don’t need for Watchout:
    we have to manage 3 projectors:
    – 1 of them projects a slide (only one image, no video) on the curtain before and after the show.
    – 2 projectors have to project always the same fix image during the show, on a screen that is the scenography of the show. We use 2 projector to get more lumens: they are hanging and only one big projector would have been too heavy.

    Do you have any suggestions for a free software?

    Thanks for your help!

    Maybe get a Matrox TripleHead2Go and use PowerPoint or Keynote?

    Otherwise, there are a few cheaper solutions capable of multi-display, including QLab, Millumin, and ProVideoPlayer.

    Thanks for your advise, as first I want to check if QLab is only for Mac, or Window too: I have already work with it, but didn’t know it can manage 3 projectors.
