Yes, the precise details about how to use Videodelic with a projector depends primarily on your computer hardware (i.e. what model of Macintosh you have and what, if any, additional, video input/output your monitor/video card has) and your projector. Videodelic sends the performance (called Overdrive) to a monitor. So, as long as your computer sees your projector as a computer monitor, you simply set up Videodelic to display its Overdrive on that monitor.

Videodelic can run on any PowerMacintosh. However, because real-time visual processing is very CPU-intensive, on some older machines, the performance may not be acceptable. We recommend a 200 MHz PowerPC 604 or faster processor. Live video input and QuickTime movies require more horsepower for playback than projects that use still images as source material. A 300 MHz or faster G3 processor is recommended (but not required) for the best results with QuickTime movies and video input.

Videodelic doesn't need a lot of memory. The minimum memory partition is 24 megabytes which will be adequate for most projects. If your project uses a lot of pictures or uses QuickTime movies, you will want to increase the partition size.

Videodelic directly imports PICT images, JPEG images and QuickTime movies. Most other common still image formats are automatically translated if you have the appropriate File Exchange, Macintosh Easy Open and QuickTime Exchange options turned on. The details vary with the Mac OS version you have installed. Videodelic is capable of rendering and performing at a number of resolutions (512 by 512, 640 by 480, 720 by 480, and 768 by 576).

Not directly. But QuickTime 4 makes it possible to convert mp3 files into files that can be used as soundtracks by Videodelic (in the Montage Room). The reason is simple. While mp3 files take up very little hard disk space, they are CPU-intensive to decode. Therefore they are not suitable for using directly with Videodelic. You can use the QuickTime player (and many freeware utilities) to convert mp3 files into AIFF files. Videodelic uses 16-bit, 44.

The Volen Center office (Volen 206) has a projector for use by CCS members and affiliates. For technical support, see the answers for the Plus U2-1110 projector below. Academic Technology Services might also help you out. Our understanding is that they will lend projectors without charge for official Brandeis courses (including journal clubs with Brandeis course numbers), if they have any available. To request help from Media Services, start at the Classroom AV setup form.

In order to accomplish its magic, Videodelic reduces the color depth of input images to 8 bits (256 colors). The output is 24-bit color (additional color depth is added by Videodelic's effects).

There is an appliation called MidiBridge9x that allows applications running in Classic to access the OS X core MIDI. Many users are experiencing excellent results with it. You can find out more at: Yes, Xx is being ported to OS X. MetaSynth 4 underwent a significant transformation from earlier versions and we just were not able to get Xx done at the same time -- and we didn't want to sit on the finished MetaSynth 4 until Xx was done.

If you will be using the projector for portable use, size and weight are very important considerations. However, you will generally pay more for a smaller, lighter projector. If the projector will be used for a fixed installation, size and weight are not as important as image quality, brightness and remote control of basic functions, i.e. contrast, focus, zoom and colour balance.

If you have decided upon a CRT based projector, you should definitely consider the purchase of an AmPro 2600, 3600 or 4600 projector. These professional quality projectors are completely refurbished and tested, are available with a full or extended warranty, and are very competitive with the best projectors in the marketplace.

Yes, the custom template can be trimmed to follow the exact contour of the object within reason. This type of installation requires prior knowledge of the equipment and is generally intended for trained lighting professional.

This is related to the hardware you are using. You are probably using an older PCI-equipped Mac (PowerMac 9600 or earlier) with an analog video capture card. On such a configuration, every bit of computing power is required to capture the video stream due to the poor performance of the PCI-controller chips. Videodelic does a lot more than just capture the video stream and this interferes (in some cases) with the captures card's ability to capture a full-sized frame.

Videodelic and VTrack are both great apps that create intriguing visuals, but they are very different from each other. The best way to figure out which is for you is to download the demo versions and try them out to see which appeals to your way of working. There are quite a few users (almost 50%) that use both VTrack and Videodelic along with ArtMatic Pro to create video and music video. Videodelic is primarily a real-time video synthesizer optimized for playing live visuals.

This is another example of how a seemingly simple question can spiral down into an ugly set of if/then statements.

Projectors are normally positioned in the middle or back of a room and project forward onto a screen. A rear projector will display the image onto the screen from behind it. The main advantage is that people cannot walk between the projector and screen blocking out the image. Most Sanyo multimedia projectors can be used as rear projectors. You would need either a rear projection screen or mount the projector in a rear projection cabinet.
