Hey all,
First timer here. I work in a multi auditorium movie theater. We host many film festivals through out the year and are looking to upgrade our "shorts block" programming this year. We have been using Mac Mini's and VLC out to either Epson or Christie(DCP) Projectors. Our screenings have been glitchy, torn and loaded with sync issues, thus the need for change.
A colleague has recommended that we purchase a BM Mini Monitor(in route) to help with all the different file types we get and help properly buffer playbacks. He also suggested we use SWITCH by Telestream as our playback software alternative to VLC.
I understand VLC is a free, non-pro software, but the ability to drag in multiple files, multiple file types and in-house made media and play them in succession, is the most important element for us here. Seamless playback is of course our primary concern for our guest and filmmakers.
Sorry for the super long question...
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much everyone!
