We're (finally) looking to upgrade our Late-2012 Mac Minis in our college theatre to M2 Mac Minis.
I know I'll have some software version upgrades forced on me (will Qlab 4 run on M2?), but the primary thing I'm concerned about is my Firewire Presonus FireStudio 1818's, which will obviously be staying on the machines they're on.
These were mid-line interfaces, with 8x8 analog and whatever random digital connections I never needed; does anyone have a handle on what the equivalent 8x8 analog box is these days, presumably connecting via TBolt?
Also: since a TripleHead2Go adapter is clearly right out, how does one run 3 projectors plus the command monitor on one of these? Are there any dual or triple video adapters with Thunder in and DVI-D/HDMI out?
Not that I can't google, of course, but Google does not always represent ground-truth well about compatibility and usability.
