Though I have not used it much, I seem to remember reading something
a few months back about how Abelton Live could be used in conjunction
with another program to trigger video loops. Anyone on this board
using Live to do any video mixing?
The cheapest way to get multiple video outputs from a computer is
just to put multiple video cards in it. Find a cheap PC perhaps and
stick some video cards in it or find a bunch of cheap video cards for
a Mac or Linux tower and have one video running on each screen. With
one video output, as from a laptop, could you possibly have both
videos on the screen side by side and simply mask out one on each
projector? That is most likely the cheapest way to do things. In
all of those solutions you just have to be sure your computer can
handle playing back so much full screen video.
Hope this helps!
