@michel Thanks Michel for the quick and helpful reply ~ will try.
Hi Ray
Are you using the one graphics card to run the three monitors and six projectors .?
If using two graphics cards, that might be the issue???.
Can you give us a bit more information on your set up too?
Eamon
How are you outputting 8 projectors (and how many monitors)? I'm sure that must have something to do with it.
I'm sure that @dusx knows more about this than I do!
Cheers,

Dear John, it’s quite possible that the Micca player is the source of the issue. A good way to test this is to play the H.264 file exported from Final Cut directly on your computer using VLC. If it looks correct there, then the Micca G2 is very likely the culprit.
If it doesn’t look right in VLC, try playing the original ProRes version (before it went through Final Cut). If that one looks correct, then the problem is introduced during the H.264 encoding step.
Izzy will start with 6 projectors but crashes as soon as I add another one. Weird.
Hi All
Running into a problem with a new video installation which requires accurate mapping. Using Isadora into a video projector, I carefully map the output. That video is output through the Syphon actor (set to same resolution and ProRez codec). Then I import into FCP so I can repeat the video clip until it's an hour or so long and export as H264. That goes on my Micca G2 (set for HD output) allowing the video can play constantly during the exhibit. The problem is that video size is not the same. A bit smaller and generally a little wanky in aspect ratio. Not a lot, but many adjustments necessary with projector position. Is the path to the finished video at fault, or is it the Micca? I've used this system before several times but without the need for inch accuracy. Thanks for any insight, John
Did that first thing, no luck. Tried re-installing, no luck. Unplugged all the projectors (but kept all 3 monitors connected) and it started. Now I'll try it with all 8 projectors.
Thanks for your help

And I want to create an actor that will read the incoming MTC and immediately jump to the correct scene.
The question for me, is how do you find editing these timecodes to be easiest. I would build your approach around what you find easiest to edit/adjust.

zzy is starting as a background process
Generally, you just need to kill the task in Task Manager, and restart.
This can happen occasionally if you have other software that conflicts in some way. Very difficult to know what software that might be, perhaps something else creating openGL contexts.
