Hi all, i am opening this thread to discuss methods to do multiple video displays with max on OsX (and how to initialize this on startup).

to date, I just send each (jit.world) window to their respective display (+fullscreen) on startup.

However there are a couple of things that eventually have given me some trouble and still concern me:

-Patcher windows and System notifications showing up on screen in front of the video.

-Video windows being sent to the wrong display, especially if the displays have the same name (same projector model, etc).

Im considering on using projection specific software (i.e. Isadora) to do this (Sending the video through Syphon).

Is this going to help in terms of reliability or im exposed to the same issues?

Whats your experience for multiple video display on ''permanent'' instalations?

To avoid the window being sent to the wrong projector, you could send the message "windowposition x y" to jit.world, and then "fullscreen 1". 

So the window would be placed according to screen position instead of device name (I'm actually curious how do you send a video using the display name?) 

System notifications should be disabled, and the patcher with the window should be the last to open. 

You can set this with the opening queue system of your OS.
