Would be great to know if this was all running on one machine? Or 3? Either way great to see the 980 was utilised!

yes be good to know what the 980 was slotted into, and ext PCIe with TB (2) connector lead or into an older power Mac or whatever…

Also was it a single image 4K “ken burns” effected image being syphon to the apps that split the image into regions for output as HD image? the smaller images all handled within the apps I assume?

Hi Alastair,
it is an (older) MacPro 5,1 with one GTX980Ti, in the discussions i placed a drawing of the whole system:
wiring diagram: BMW Exponat with 12 Monitors on one MacPro 5,1. yes, one of the VUO applications is loading the 4K images, ad the “KenBurns” and send it thru syphon. All other Images are supplied in the nativ resolution of the outputs ( 4 outputs 1920x1080 and 8 outputs 1280x720) thru the other 3 VUO applications, they also map the 4K syphon input to the “connected” Monitors.

i hope that answer you question.
