Numark VM03 mkII

Okay, I looked and searched and if it's been talked about please don't flame me for not trying. Does the Numark VM03mkII work with video SL? If so, how would I hook up my mini-display port for it from my mid-2010 13" MacBook Pro? I want to be able to use the three monitors in a very obvious way, left monitor for left channel cue and right monitor for the right channel cue and the middle monitor for the actual output.

Thanks for any help I can get.

You would need a Matrox TripleHead 2 Go and three scan converters.

It will take an immensely powerful laptop to output 4 screens worth of resolution at once.

So yes, it can be done.

But basically it's a massive amount of expense and hassle just to get a slightly bigger version of what is already on your laptop screen.

thank you phatbob for the answer...it makes sense that it would take so much power

As you are on a mac you should maybe try MixEmergency, as you can split the three preview screens and resize them on your laptop screen if you want a bigger preview.

If you use a Matrox TripleHead 2 Go (which i own) you dont need 4 outputs you only need the 3. and just split the main output ( the middle one). But look at MixEmergency it might do what you need. On a side note you could try something like my setup. use the TripleHead (or a dual head) and run a second monitor and have all the video controls (from ME) go on that second screen so they dont use up space on your macs screen.
