triplehead2go and resolume avenue

[stickygreen]

So I've been playing around with avenue again since they made it available on Mac.

Here is what I've done: I connect my analogue triplehead2go to my Macbook Pro 2.66 Everything works Good, I can get an image to span all three screens.

Then I fire up resolume avenue, and all my triple wide clips look very pixilated, that lead me to check what resolution my secondary display was outputting within resolume, and It is set to 640x480. I can't seem to change this? does anyone know what is the procedure to change the secondary display resolution?

before you open avenue, make sure that your screen layout is set to something appropriate within the matrox control utility - for instance 1920 x 480

open avenue and go to composition > settings and choose 1920 x 480 in the drop down menu.

try it now it should work

if this hasnt worked, go to output > advanced, select the tick box next to your seconady display and if it oesnt already say it in the boxes at the bottom left of that screen, enter 1920 x 480.

now it should realy be working.

( im a pc user btw, but i dont think it will make any differences )

Usually when your 2nd display is set to 640x480, your clips will occupy the middle screen.
To get the 2 side screens to show clips you need to set them up to be in those positions from inside of Ave. and like Air explained, you have to have your output set to 1920x480.

My triple head dosn't seem to work on that setting, only on 2400x600? i thought this was strange, when I have my desktop secondary resolution set to 1920x480 It seems to squish the whole triple wide image into the center screen, and the outer two projectors can't see a signal? Maybe I should concentrate on fixing this first? the triple head is new to me, i just upgraded from a double.

this is how I was trying to change the resolution, but it didn't seem to stay, like resolume wasn't saving the information I was entering?

I think I need to have some more time to mess around with this, to many things not working the way they should be...?
