ledwall, DLP projectors and Hog III

hi, I will start to work with a ledwall and a DLP projector system that will sobsitute a 8 DLP projector system based on Watchout technology. Now I would like to program lights and video with an Hog III and a Catalyst media server system and everything must run with an LTC timecode. It is possible to control ledwall (video and lights) and a DLP video source with an Hog III or I must program my show with an hibryd system using Hog III for light and ledwall and watchout for DLP source and ledwall with video?
please help me!!!
tanks a lot
  • Paco,
    You can use Whole Hog and Catalyst to achieve what you are talking about. Catalyst has two outputs as well as PixelMad. This allows you to send video to your DLP projector and map to LED devices via ArtNet. The Whole Hog does accept LTC but you will need to get an IOP. Please give us a call if you need help planning out this system. Thanks!
  • Hi Zach,thank you for help. when I was looking for help I was downloading catalyst 4.0 manual and I was starting to study. I only use Hog III since 2003, but it will be my first time that I'll use with video, because I'm also a Watchout programmer, and I've always used that system with video. Now I would program lights and videos inside an important musical with just a source, and catalyst is the only way.
    I think I'll have no troubleshoots, but in case of them I'll give you a call.
    thanks again

    Everything OK

    To correct you a little, Catalyst V4 can have up to 6 Outputs (using 2 trippleheads To Go from Matrox.)
    And you can have 8 Inputs.

  • Hi chers. i forget details.
    There is different way to have 8 video output SVGA/DVI on
    the same MAC PRO.
    But you need to use different external interface
    from Matrox TripleHead2go.
