Syncing with a projected display

Post by n4j » Mon Aug 13, 2007 5:38 pm

I have done a number of dance shows using SCS for the sound and am extremely please with it. In these shows, we usually use a backdrop projected via Powerpoint on a second PC. Does anyone know if there is a way of using SCS to cue an image or video - it wouldn't have to be a powerpoint slide - it could be a bmp/jpg file or avi/mpeg file output directly or what ever... Basically, I want to cue the display of the image/video, preferably without the need for a second PC. I think it is possible to set up the video on my laptop so that the video output can be setup as a second screen.

Any help gratefully received.

Many thanks

n4j,

The next major release of SCS will have video cues. I've tested these with AVI and WMV files, including some high-definition WMV's available here (using the 720p files). The videos play to the second display.

I'm willing to let a limited number of registered users try a pre-release of this version. Email me if you are interested.
