      Hi all,

      Has anyone used Isadora with the new iMac Pro's yet?

      I am thinking about using one to drive 2 HD outputs and 1x 4K output. The 4K and one of the HD outputs would go through some Datapath x4's to a bunch of projectors. I won't actually need all the pixels in the 4K and one of the HD as the projectors are only XGA but I can use the oversize to allow all the mapping. The other HD goes directly to a projector so will need the full raster.

      Does anyone have experience with these machines and sending this much information? Could a Mac Pro (trash can model) manage this amount of video output or even the new MacBook Pro with the 4x USB-C?

      Thanks very much.

      Cheers,

      Cam.

        No experience of iMac in performance, but I have a problem with your sentence: "one of the HD as the projectors are only XGA but I can use the oversize to allow all the mapping", If you have a XGA (1280x768) projector, the mapping would be inside that definition, not inside 1920x1080 output, no miracle… The other question is about what will be the images: stock, procedurals, with many simultaneous fade-in/out?

        I would definitely make a test with real condition before to buy one…
