Currently I am working on a data wall. I have no experience so maybe I can get help from you guys?
The goal is showing a fullscreen movie on 5x3 plasma screens, tilted 90 degrees.
I have 4 Matrox G200MMS cards in a PC. The drivers from Matrox allow you to configure a desktop with up till 16 screens under Windows!
When configuring a Multi Display Setup the DirectX support is no longer applicable.
When I run a movie (quicktime file 480X360) in fullscreen it is not running smoothly, it automatically gives "VLC DirectX Output" (?) and the processor runs at peek performance.
If I choose "Video Output" it will not show fullscreen.
