Hi gang,
I've been trying to read through old posts trying to answer my questions but have been unable to figure things out, especially since some of the threads are 4+ years old.
I'm putting together a new playback system for a 440 seat regional/summer stock playhouse. While I've built over 150 playback systems over the last 15 years, Apple, MacOSX & QLab are all kinda new to me in this context. All my systems have been windows platform, pci interfaces and either SFX or SCS. But every designer we've had since opening last June has specifically requested QLab. So...
Will a quad-core MacMini with its Intel HD 4000 graphics drive both a control monitor and a 1920x1200 projector simultaneously with different content?
In addition to hard drive located video files, will QLab play DVDs & Blu-rays via an external USB drive?
Will QLab decode multi-channel audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD) and allow me to configure and route it for a 3.1 system (L/C/R/Subs)?
Video playback with this setup will be separate from theatrical presentations. (Any shows requiring video will utilize a rented media server). So, think film festival type events and "Sing-A-Long Sound Of Music" type stuff.
Thanks,
~Alden
