Hi gang -

[This isn't *directly* VAX-related, but it seems to be the appropriate list.]

The University is in the process of revamping a lecture hall and wants to
put in all the latest and greatest electronic teaching tools, which of course
means (among other things) --> video projection.

They'd also like to have their cake and eat it too, that is, have one
projection system suffice for 'regular' video projection (e.g. VCR) *and*
for output from a computer terminal (VT200-series) or PC (IBM PC+compatible,
also DEC Rainbow if possible).  They would also like to be able to buy the
cheaper (oops, "more economical") model which has more limited options and
capabilities.

Our audiovisual technician is getting rather frustrated as nobody seems to
really know (a) whether this is possible and (b) if it is, what are the specs?
He was talking about scan speeds and the like, but it's really beyond me.  Our
own department is using two LimeLight projectors (from Vivid Systems
Incorporated, Fremont, CA) but those only work with VDT equipment.

So - if you or the entity with which you are affiliated has had any experience
in this arena, any information/experiences/guidelines/horror stories/etc. you
have would be greatly appreciated.

Please send to me and I will summarize to the net if there is enough interest.
