M1 MBPs can do only one external monitor without the right hub due to the limitations of the GPU. Yesterday, some new ones were announced that provide a workaround. One has a built on GPU so you can add two while the other includes a DisplayLink GPU that requires the free DisplayLink drivers so tha...

I don't know much about this stuff, so I ask: Do you need the Canopus ADVC110... couldn't you host the videos on the same computer from within DP and then directly connect the projector to the HDMI Port on your MacBook? No, I've tried that, but I believe the Video has to be sent to the Interface (8...

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. My MBP is a 2021 16" - Apple M1 Pro mac OS Monterey 12.0.1 For the external monitor, I just use a Television with HDMI input for syncing the video at home.(Always worked fine with my old MBP and DP8) In live situations, the projection screen can be anything with a...

Does anyone know what hardware/adaptors can be used to play Video from DP11 and a MacBook Pro (MacOS Monterey V 12.0.1)? Prior to upgrading from DP8 and an older MacBook with Firewire, I was able to project Video in sync with backing tracks during live performance. I was using a Canopus ADVC110 Vide...

Ok, thanks for that Papageno, I'll have a look at that if and when it happens again.
I also just read that disabling the Mac going to sleep could be the culprit, so I'll try that as well.
Cheers

Yes, Mike O was right, I now have DP11 installed and except for the occasional Crash, (where DP just quits unexpectedly once in a while) all is good. I would like to figure out why DP quits the odd time but the Crash logs are just gobbly gook computer speak to me. I'm computer illiterate. I have an ...

Thanks very much Mike, you're always very helpful.
Appreciate it.

Just migrated all my data from an old MacBook Pro running OS 10 to a new MacBook Pro OS 12 Monterey. Installed the Monterey OS 12 download from Motu, activated DP8 using the Keycode, crossed my fingers and to my surprise, everything worked perfect. Even my old 8Pre USB, 8Pre FW and 828MKII with all ...

FYI, everything works perfect with the Motu Monterey OS 12 download, surprisingly easier than expected. Only one issue, I have to Authorize DP8 every time I open it, (enter email, Name & Keycode) it's just an extra step but will be an issue as I use DP in Live situations and won't always have ac...

Thank you both, Mike and Markus
Very helpful, gives me a bit of confidence that my system will work with some adaptors. Hopefully the Drivers too, if not now but in the near future.
I'm sure MOTU won't let me down.
I'll post my results once I get the new MBP, hopefully within a week or so.
Cheers

Hi, I'm currently using an older MBP (2012 Sierra)) with 828MKII FW, 8pre FW and an 8Pre USB with DP8. This set up has ran smoothly since day 1 and has everything I need. I would however like to upgrade to the new MBP just released Oct 18th/21, as have a feeling my MBP is on it's last legs! Apart fr...

Anyone know when MOTU will release the revised USB drivers for El Capitan - namely the 8Pre drivers. It's been at least a month since the Beta drivers were released but I'm having an issue where the 8Pre stops sending audio after about 20 minutes of use. If I open the "Configure Hardware Driver...

Does anyone know when the revised drivers for USB will be available? It's been over a month since the Beta Drivers were released and my 8Pre USB occasionally stops sending audio out after about 20 minutes of use. (Happened at a gig the other night - was using DP to play backing tracks and Video) Mig...

Anyone know why the 'Direct Hardware Play through' option would be Greyed out?
I'm using a Motu 828 and 2 - Motu 8 Pre's set up as an Aggregate Device on a MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite.
Thanks
