Write a script or an automator program that will start the programs at some specified time.

thanks for your answer … but even if you synch the time of three computers to a billionsecond the wont start the program with little time delays you cant control!

Is it possible to buy a new computer for this project? (I don’t know if that’s possible or not).
The new Mac Pros can take multiple video cards. You could put 2 cards in one and run 2 projectors off one card and the 3rd off the 2nd card. It’d be a 3-monitor display which should make it possible to stretch the video over all 3 monitors.

I don’t know the name of the hardware offhand, but there’s “black box” hardware that’s controlled by a single computer, that will run multiple playback screens.

Check out the Live & Stage Events forum. This should be up their alley.
