  • any way to output three synched dv streams

    Posted by Neil Jay on August 25, 2006 at 3:10 am

    for an upcoming video art exhibition i’m trying to find a way to play three different streams of dv video to three different monitors, keeping those streams in synch. i know that there are synchronizer boxes available to control certain types of dvd players. but i’m wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how i might do this with my quad g5 if perhaps i added the appropriate output cards?

    i realize it maybe a long shot, but thought it worth a try. thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have!

    best,
    neil

    There’s a company named Alcorn McBride in Florida which makes a series of boxes that play multiple streams of video. Their url is https://www.alcorn.com

    The boxes take muxed mv2 files and allow data rates that approach (maybe exceed) HD. We just finished a project that plays on an older version box (single stream only) in an exhibition hall display. These boxes may be available for rent (The one we used was already in place in the display). Someone at Alcorn McBride could probably help you out. Their customer service is excellent.
