Yes, the Amiga has big advantages here. Mainly that it generates TV compatible signals as standard. Most projection equipment I know (Eidophor) also has RGB inputs, but with NTSC timing. This is exactly what an Amiga provides. Typically you only need a special adapter cable from the 23-pin Amiga monitor output to the BNC inputs of the projection units. Oh, these projection units normally need a fourth input with the sync signals, but these are also available at that output. If you have several video sources (several Amigas or an additional camera), then it always pays to sync the Amigas with a genlock interface to one sync source (e.g. one master camera). -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...
