Wayne, You probably only need one PC these days (the documentation that refers to separate computers for control, video and audio is rather out of date). If you search the AG-TECH mailing list, you should be able to find advice on good video capture cards and display cards that will work for your cameras and multiple projectors. XP or Linux should work equally well as the toolkit is released on both platforms.
Good luck!

This is our first time for doing this and we were wondering what operating system we need to have on the computers? (Control, Video and Audio) Can we use XP or do we need Linix on the computers? Thanks for any advice, Wayne _____________________________________________ The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. _____________________________________________ Wayne Fuller Center for Distance Education University of Nebraska at Kearney Phone 308-865-8271 Fax 308-865-8064 full...@unk.edu
