Two thunderbolt to HDMI adapters, out of the iMac 5K

Hey guys, so I found a solution. I have an iMac 5k 2015, a toshiba 25″ as a second monitor and a BenQ projector for my client monitor. The way to get it to work is avid likes to play with everything being the same (which has been frustration for those coming form FCP or Premiere) and that includes monitors. So I have both my projector and Toshiba monitor set at 1080p and my 5k retina display set at one to the left from the default (closer to the Larger Text option) under the resolution option to set to “Scaled”. It’s still a little bigger than 1080p but when I open the Full Screen Playback out of my Avid settings and place it on my project and hit “Select Monitor” I finally get some numbers pop up under “Current monitor position:”. Once they do, hit OK and you are in business. Obviously sucks because you are not utilizing the full resolution of the 5k retina display, but you can always switch it back and forth depending when you are working with clients.

Forgot the I/O boxes and out of sync playback, go straight out of your system and you are set. Hope this helps ya’ll
