Hello all,
We have recently begun moving toward High-Definition video for all of our interviews, documentaries and other footage to be used in exhibits. We are using internally produced video as well as video shot by outside producers. However, we are running into some obstacles determining the best solution for playback in the galleries. We will be playing the HD video files from Windows-based computers connected to plasma monitors. Currently we are trying it with H.264 encoded QuickTime files, but they are very "jumpy" on video clips with a lot of motion. We have upgraded the RAM and video cards in the computers, but with very little improvement. Also, we using Cat5 DVI/HDMI extenders as there is quite a bit of distance from the computer to the monitor. Who else out there is using HD video in your exhibits? How are you doing it? We would welcome any suggestions or input you may have. Thank you so much, Jason _______________________________________________________ Jason Bondy Exhibit AV/IT Systems Oklahoma History Center 2401 N.
