Video-wall using Mac-minis

Post by ttrbls » July 26th, 2012, 9:55 am

Based on upcoming project, I have to set-up a video-wall (2x2 tile) and ArraySync seems to be the best option, considering that I prefer using Mac OSx. My concern is: how do I connect four LCD's to the MacMini? Should I get 4 USB-to-Video adapators ? Can this handle HD formats ?
Thanks!

Every Mac mini since the early 2009 refresh has support for dual displays. If you want to connect four displays to a Mac mini, I'm not really sure there is any reliable way to do that. I've never used a USB to video adapter but I have little confidence in that as a solution. I would just use two Mac minis.
I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.

I also will be using ArraySync for a multi screen project. In my case I will be using 3 mac minis with SSDs to drive six screens via the hdmi and display port. I would really like to script ArraySync to start in the morning and stop playing end of day. Any word on successful scripting of ArraySync?

I'm very interested in this feature, too.
