multiple projector setup questions
hi,
I create music in ableton live and videos for it in touchdesigner. Soon I will have access to big speakers and six very powerful projectors for an installation.
I have loads of material, but it's my first time ever doing a public installation, so I have no idea really what to do with the machinery when I get it.
My idea was to create some sort of a "dj mix" in ableton, blending tracks to build immersion and also making it easier to deal with just one file instead multiple of them. Same with the videos. In the end there will be just one 25 minute video file with music in it, playing on loop.
I have only laptop available, and it doesn't have 6 HDMI inputs, so I guess I am gonna need some hdmi hub. what kind? is there anything specific to look out for?
I know that 6 projectors might be an overkill and probably won't use all of them, I just thought it would be better to have more than I need. my goal is to manage atlest three of them.
as in what video will be played on each projector, I am not a fan of the same video being played on all of them at the same time, so my idea was to create 2 more "younger brothers" to the main video (that would be played at the center) to be projected on the sides. I would do that by kind of rearranging clips from the main video so it wouldn't atleast be the exact same. maybe just for the most intense parts to kind of go over the top when its needed.
After that, I will have three different 25 minute videos to be played at the same time from different projectors. How do I do that? Is there some sort of software I should look into? Or maybe it's possible to achieve this through TouchDesigner?
Thank you for your time, I hope I made my vision clear and that it's even achievable.
