IMac 5K Matrox DP and Akitio with BM deckling duo 2feedback

[fredvaillant]

Hi, I finished my last project and I propose to share my choices. After many hesitations (shared on this forum) between Hackintosh and iMac, I bought this computer and had no problem at all during 20 shows :

The general setup was a theater piece : 2 X 720p50 live cam inputs, 1 X computer, 3 X 720p50 output ultrashort lens vpl in the set, 30 m away.

I had each day to rebuild the set and 20 mn to tune.

The latency was correct and the Sony Remote was really helpful.

I was sometime projecting a 4K movie chopped on my 3 beamers and sometime projecting maximum 5 H264 720p50 movies simultaneously.

In attached, there is the full setup. Some choices were made because I had already the product (like to chain a BM mini rec to a BM duo 2 thru the Akitio PCIe thunderbolt for the choice of a hdmi and a SDI input)

Thanks for your all advices last spring.
