Cherlique,

There is nothing presently available for SD Video other than the possible workarounds pointed out by the others.

Spheron has a functional HDR Video Camera in the works for full HD resolution with 20 f-stops of dynamic range, but not released to market yet.
A bit more news about the Spheron HDR camera is available at https://www.hdrlabs.com/news/index.php

Duh! Thought this was a forum for professionals as has been expressedly stated in some old posts.

“…You cannot do that in video…”

Not intending to be disrespectful, but a member of the Stereoscopic 3D Cow Forum seems to have done it on video before, and in 3D too –

PS: Apologies my error. It was NOT shot in 3D, he just used a 3D rig to shoot the HDR, and post processed with CS4/5.

Forgot to add –

With Multiscreener, you will need to pre-split your ONE video file into 2 files (with After Effects).

[Thomas Leong]

That’s ONE video file assigned to 2 gfx cards each with a TripleHead2Go.

I only know of one software-cum-player that allows you to assign one file to two gfx cards (max 4 outputs, 2 from each card), but not sure if it works with a TripleHead2Go. It is AvStumpfl’s Wings Platinum 4 Multi-display version with 4 outputs, read “2 dual-display licences (USB-keys)”. The software will auto sense the 2 licences and combine to give you 4 outputs from one PC. BUT…price might be a factor for you.

One possible alternative is freeware Multiscreener from zachpoff.com. It can run Server and Client player on one PC, but seems to work only with Quicktime-playable video files, eg. .mov, .qt, .mp4, etc. There is an option in lower right corner for ‘Device Options’ – not sure what it is as my laptop does not have 2 gfx cards, but at a guess, hope it allows one to select the gfx card or output device for the Server and the Client separately.

I’d try connecting the MacbookPro to the same ethernet that the iMac is connected to first. If that works (it should), then use that for multiscreener work.

I’m not familiar with the AirPort network type to comment on it.

Hi Nico,

You have piqued my interest and I installed multiscreener on my Windows 7 laptop (no network).

There is a note on the app that says “Make sure any network firewalls are set to allow UDP traffic on port 7474”. Have you checked to ensure this is the case with your network?

Hi Nico,

Sorry, I’ve not used the software before. Besides I’m on Windows. Since you are on Mac, you can write to zachpoff himself and ask. The Windows version has no support, but I think he’ll provide support/answers for the Mac version.

Having said that, multiscreener’s README says “The server broadcasts its messages via multicast, so no knowledge of server/client IP addresses are required.” I think this means the client is not required to ‘connect’ to the server. The client(s) merely receive positional info from the server and reacts accordingly. All that is needed is that the network works.
