63 Megapixels on *one* PC. 1 PC 1 High End Consumer Processor 4 Radeon 5800 family GPUs 24 1920×1200 Display Port Monitors Ubuntu 9.04 X-Plane 9.40beta Each monitor was 1920×1200 with a small amount of bezel correction (150 H, 120 V). So the effective displaysize is 1920*6+150*5 = 12270 horizontally and 1200*4+120*3 = 5160 vertically for a total effective resoltuion is 12270*5160 = 63313200 pixels! This is a technology demonstration of what can be achieved on one PC. The monitors were 24 inches at 1920×1200, but it demonstrates the flexibility of AMD’s new upcoming technology. Choose 1 card with 6 40″ monitors, 2 cards with 12 30″ 2560×1600. 3 cards with 18 projectors for an immersive 180 or 360 degree experience. The technology will be there shortly and available from your standard technology super-store.
one more line would’ve been better to avoid having the center of the image between 4 monitors…
Interesting… everyone babble about using a projector instead and completely ignore the fact that the interesting point here is the resolution and not the size.
On a different note, I wonder if that kind of system could bring IMAX projection to our home using 24 HD projectors (2×12 and interlace the 3D frames) on a giant wall…
Wait? 63 MP?! That’s nearly 4 times the resolution of digital IMAX and 1.5x the one of film IMAX!!!!! They need to release IMAX movie to the general public… now!
@GtaKyle Not the same image.
Find a projector that can handle that resolution and I’ll show you a £1,000,000 projector that still has less contrast
@ehhhhhhhhhh well better shadow etc better quality
more pixels (hint) resoultion also a projecter dont have backlight and if you don”t like the line take the monitors out of the case glue them all to each other i use two monitors but a projecter would be much easier lol im not getting on you just sayiny ok so don’t get mad for nothing.
3 monitors is smart.. 6 monitors is overdoing it.. 24 monitors is just plain fucking stupid..
@ehhhhhhhhhh
It’s not the point, the point of it is to show what is possible, and a projector does not run at that resolution, it just stretches a 1920X1080 resolution.
This is amazing, it is a feat of strength
@GtaKyle This would have a higher resolution that even the most expensive projectors could have
@student908065 correct
@hopkiller
HD films and TV are not available in resolutions bigger than 1920 x 1080. I get the impression that a serious amount of stretching is going to occur either way–the difference in quality won’t be discernible. A good projector is half the price and you could invest the other few thousand dollars into a killer sound system.
Well the resolution is superior to that projectors so..
@GtaKyle
I don’t think you understand how huge 63 megapixels is. That freaking huge to any projector could do.
I think the point of this vid was to show it can handle 63 megapixels.
To all the people who compare this to a projector, Show me a consumer projector for 5.000EUR that pushes 12270×5160. In fact show me a properly decent projector that pushes 1080p for under 5.000EUR.
You can get a decent Samsung TN 1920×1200 monitor for ~150EUR, make 24 of them = 3600EUR + 4x AMD/ATi 5800 series at, let’s say, 400EUR each = 1600EUR. All in all 5200EUR and I guess you could go cheaper.
I’ve yet to see a projector that can handle this for this price.
I still like using just one monitor…’Cause I hate those goddamn black lines.
@NeophyteHooliganer that’s the ticket!
@ehhhhhhhhhh
I know this is late comment, but with this set up there is actually little to no stretching at all for the area of the screen, because there is a larger amount of pixels per square in. Something that people do not understand about this video is, it is not about cost or about what is logical, it is to show how powerful computers are. It is demonstrating a single computer rendering millions and millions of pixels, something that is a very difficult task.
@GtaKyle but if you had it curved around you it would be surround
@GtaKyle but we dont get same resolution
@GtaKyle exept 24x the resolution…
why dont they make a giant tv/monitor?
@GtaKyle Well, LCD monitors are brighter and more sharp in quality
+quality +less money spent = happy person
@GtaKyle Resolutiion
