presentation

[Nicholas Rivero]

I’m pretty sure that if someone is trying to build a simple multiscreen display, ProVideo Player is more than enough.

Can i buy a 3 screen ProVideo Player setup for a weeks rental on a Watchout…. hmmm…

I don’t feel that the solution is always in high end gear. Sometimes it’s the simple things that work better.

Can your wings, watchout, catalyst, hippo, axiom, DL3, or whatever do everything you’ve described. Yes. Does the average person need all of that? Probably not.

touche Nick… Fundamentally, I agree with you. It IS often the simple things that work best.

And I think that the inherent power of computers today, paired with a simple solution like ProVideo Presenter, make for a cheap and robust solution that probably strikes a bit of fear into the more expensive products.

That said, many of the aspects I mention prove critical for show situations. More and more we see irregular screens or actual scenery we have to project on, as well as a desire for unified control. I can’t even count the number of clients who show up with media of every conceivable kind; leading to a situation where built in encoding becomes utterly necessary and not just convenient.

The great thing is that ProPresenter will probably be incorporating all of this in time, and probably without significant price change.

Best,
Bob
