I'm a little confused about the center 1/3 cut thing and your lcd's though? Is it possible that your previous editor letterboxed some 16:9 footage for a 4:3 tv and you are stretching it out on a 16:9 display (or 3 or them in this case). But one video doesnt span across three monitors at once right? Just three monitors playing 3 seperate videos but at the same time?

I am not exactly sure how he did it, but I think the basic idea is something like this... He blew up the image to fit on all three screens (including the edges of the monitors). Because my monitors are about 10 o 11 feet long (combined) and not proportionately tall, he cropped the horizontal portion of the image that would not fall onto the monitors. (I called this the 'center third' of the image earlier.) He then rendered the video three different times - once for the portion of the video that would fall onto each monitor.

Dring the final editing of the DVD's, he matched the timelines on all 3 so they would play the same frames at the same time thus giving the appearance of a 10 foot wide monitor playing a single video. (Well, the center portion of a vdieo... it's enough to see it is all one picture spread across 3 monitors.)

All is good until here. The 3 dvd's do play pretty close to the same... until they skip - or freeze on a frame.

This monitor is another reason I am thinking of the HVX, and everything else I need that goes with it. If anyone has ideas on how to do this display better, I'm all ears!
