Vga Capture

[Gian]

We wanna use Powerpoint Presentations captured on Catalyst.

Thanks

I've never used one, but spotted this the other day. It seems they have Mac OS X drivers. I'd be interested to see how these work.

You can, of course, render Power Point presentations as QuickTime movies.

iThink will be more easy having a VNC Layer on Cat .

253 ? Use VNC ? http://www.sinapsi.us/forum/images/upo/emoticon-0127-inlove.gif

if is just a component what is needed, using the component for Quicktime like FLIP4MAC will work out topo ? I can play WMV files that way ?


Flip4Mac work .... but I did not stress the system , I've only tried with one layer , and I don't know what coded was in the .Avi file .

It seam that cataslyst can read any supported Quick time movie IF it's supported in OpenGl as well .

Remember that it's more about OpenGl then QT . ( as far I understand )

if you want something that stands a chance of working - you might like to try the matrox mxo to convert to sdi or composite - then use decklink card to capture the output.

[Gian]

I have that,... we have a Matrox MXO, we capture DVI OUT from the computer, transmits in 1920x1080 i from the MXO, (indiferent of the resolution on the computer (like 800x600) and then capture with the Blackmagic HD on SDI in 1920 x 1080i ( Works PERFECT)

The only issue is,.. Matrox MXO only capture DVI from a MAC Computer, has a little software ans a USB connection on that,... and that little software on the computer presentation is MAC ONLY

As far I LOVE Macs, the world is not only them, The client likes to make theier on presentation sometimes, and they all have windows ( I don't know why?)

Anyway, also with MXO, the bordr of the letters is little be soft. Looks like the projection is little Unfocused. BUT works like a charm on HD capture.

Thanks a lot

try it - see what happens.

[Gian]

I will do it, but you belive being a Quicktime component shold work right ?

[samsc]

i have no idea what they mean specifically by 'quicktime component',
in my experience 'video digitisers' all work slightly differently.

i cant test or support all these video input devices - there are just too many - if they work they work - if they dont - they dont.
