#MILLUMIN 4 SOFTWARE#
While there are a lot of real-time video tools and specialities available, Millumin’s great strength is as over-arching software – and providing useful ways for co-ordinating and controlling other software ( eg triggering and manipulating clips inside VJ software, and recompositing, mapping and sequencing that video with Millumin, easily jumping between very complex compositions). In part, Millumin is possible because of today’s easy re-routing of video between applications (thanks to software such as Syphon on mac and Spout on PC), which has enabled some developers to focus on specialty areas, and allowed others to provide ways of usefully integrating different parts of a video workflow. When building your show, click on the "Optimize" button, then follow the recommendations provided by Millumin to optimize your project.“Millumin manages video on stage for theaters, video mappings and interactive installations”Īs real-time video software continues to evolve, we’re starting to see some really thoughtfully considered applications – such as Millumin, by Philippe Charaund, software dedicated to “create and perform audiovisual shows”. OptimizationsFor recommendations about codecs, please read this post. The CPU speed or the RAM size are not that important nowadays, as hardware-acceleration is widely used. If you use big files, you need a good one that can read fast enough : for example an internal SSD, or an external RAID drive. There are also DisplayLink docks, such as the Plugable one, but from experience frame drops can arise (this may be fixed in later DisplayLink update).ĭrive and RAMThe drive is important too. If you own a device such as a Datapath FX4 or an AJA HA5-4K, you can get 4 displays out of one Thunderbolt port of your computer. However, each external display can run at 4K or higher.
4 external displays for Apple M1 Max machines
#MILLUMIN 4 PRO#
2 external displays for Apple M1 Pro machines 2 external displays for Apple M1 machines without any screen (MacMini) 1 external display for Apple M1 machines with an embed screen (MacBook and iMac) If you want to buy an Apple M1 machine, keep in mind that depending on the processor family, the number of external displays will be limited : For info, Millumin V4 is optimized for both Intel and M1. Nowadays, this limitation tends to fade away, but in general, a machine with one powerful GPU is better than a machine with several low ones.Īpple M1Apple is now producing its own processors, the first ones being called Apple M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max. Other real-time softwares have this hardware limitation as well. If you uses multiple graphic cards, keep in mind that real-time rendering can only be processed by a single graphic card at one time, then the result must be transfered to other graphic cards, which is time consuming. Here is a test with a MacMini 2018with an eGPU running 3 x 4K displays (equivalent to 12 x 1080p60 displays).
However, it is not supported by Apple M1 machines. On the other hand, an eGPU can be an efficient solution to use high-end GPUs. You can compare graphic cards scores on this website. When possible, choose a model of computer with a dedicated AMD or Apple M1 GPU, not with an Intel GPU alone. Graphic CardMillumin mainly uses the graphic card, so the better your GPU is, the better the performances are. This article explains what is important to consider, when choosing a computer to run Millumin. What's the best computer to run Millumin ?
