      Hi John,

      You could use a Datapath FX4 and a Brightsign media player. You can programme the setup with your Mac and their Wall Designer software, then play the film back from a Brightsign or similar media player. That'd be pretty reliable. 

      The FX4 does 4K input and 4 x 1080p output. 

      Depending on when your installation is, I could lend you an FX4 and a Brightsign if we could figure out how to get it from London to Oulu and back again.

          John and I met at a Werkstatt in Berlin, and discovered many friends and circuses in common.

          That's the value of the physical connection! Viva the Werkstatt! Bring on the next one!!

              The Apple M2 Max and M3 Max chips can also support four external displays, but the new M4 Max chip offers even higher resolutions and refresh rates for these displays.

                Hi,

                Another option is through NDI. BirdDog Play is reasonably priced, and with a single cable and a switch, you can send the streams to all four outputs. I've only worked with one output through BirdDog Play, and the results were good. Perhaps the most problematic aspect is assigning NDI streams when you start the setup. BirdDog support may be able to help with this.
                That's an idea.

                Best

                  Hello,

                  I am currently using M4 Mac Mini’s for multiple video output from Isadora. They represent a Mac solution with a lower price point but great performance and flexibility. I recently set up an eight projector blend (8 x 1080p Benq short throw- shown in image) using just Mac Mini’s. The current M4 Mac Mini allows 3 video outputs - so your set up could include 2 linked Mac Mini with capacity for a control monitor.


                  I also use a Mac Studio M2 Max Ultra it has capacity of 8 video outputs.

                  Best wishes

                  Russell

                    @dbni is Full hd enough or you need all outputs to be 4k ?

                      @armando - FHD x 4 is fine. I probably can't get hold of 4 x 4K ST projectors within my budget.

                        Hi Russell - that looks amazing! I will look around and see if there's anywhere to hire Mac Minis. It's another option. :)
