Hi Walter,

thanks for the info! I’ve just had contact with the client. For his trade show he’s working with another ‘supplier’. That’s actually a company that build stand on trade show. They’re also responsable for the video. The client sent a my test file and we’ll wait until tomorrow. If there is no feedback I’ll get the change to contact him personally.

It’s probably not going to be watchout because the supplier had his own equipment. I will wait for his feedback before doing something else.

@Walter: what do you mean by rearranging the finished work? They’s going to be set up vertically under each other. Not horizontally… Can I still use the Triple2Go?

I’ve tested the JPG codec again at half res and it worked smoothly. So basically if I have a pc with more performance the highres file should be fine..?

Hi Thomas,

owkay! So if I understand it good it’s possible (if the suppliers equipment supports it if course) that I could make this comp at 960×1620 and use the multiscreen hardware to scale it up and fill the screen (1920×3240)?

Thanks again for the helpfull info! 🙂

Yes if course! 🙂 But how do they render a usable project without split screen? Or is it normal that these kind of projects are several tens of GB big?

Hi Thomas, ok but my question is how to ‘professionals’ create content for a multiscreen project? Is it not done with after effects? Or are there other software that are made for that?

Hello Thomas,

thank you for the reply and info! I thought this would be a tough one xp… The Samsung screens can be connected to each other and by using Samsungs MDC software. You can set them up as you want.. But you’re right about the playback part. I’ve already created a testfile (30sec = 2GB .MOV Motion JPEG A codec) and send this to the client. This was the best codec to maintain quality and have an acceptable size.. It’s stil huge though!

I’ve also asked for their supplier. I’ll see if they’ll want to give that info to me. They did ask me to deliver for VLC. So I suppose that’s what I’ll do if they don’t give me anything..

Do you have any advice for me on the content creation part? Export codecs, etc.. to limit file size?

I’ll keep you informed.

Tim.

Hi I have the same problem right now. My project is 1920×3240. How did it work out for you guys?

Kind regards.

Hello again,

I’ve just received the hardware specs for this project. The client is going to use 3 Samsung 46′ LFD UE46A screens. Does anyone has some experience with that?

I’ve also created a test project in AE 1920×3240. Ive tried to render a file in Quicktime (H264) but AE gave me an error that I can only render 1920×2000 max. So I went and used Avids DNxHD codec. The 30sec slideshow became 5GB. Do I seriously need to send a file that big to the client to playback with VLC. The slideshow is going to be around 5min. That’s aprox 50GB….?

Help please!

Thanks.
