If you can help me out by postring a link or telling me what I need to do, I would greatly appriciate it.Thanks in advance for your help!Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 If you create a musical sequence using a video file (such as a WMV file) instead of an audio file (such as an MP3 file), LOR II will display the video when the sequence plays (assuming you don't have "View Video" turned off in the View menu).If you already have a sequence based on an audio file, and you want to play some video during it, you will have to create a new video file that includes both the audio and the video, and then use LOR to create a musical sequence based on that. LOR does not handle that first step (creating the video file), so you will have to have some video editing program in order to do that. I have no experience with such programs, so I can't say anything about them, but I'm sure they're out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wbottomley Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 If you're running video over long distances, a modulator would be needed.It's like a transmitter sending the signal over RG6(which is better) to the receiver. Then connect the receiver to the projector via composite cable.Here's the modulator: http://www.skycraftsurplus.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=452 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Fortenbach Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I work in a casino and we run several video (VGA) signals to the casino floor, for the video signs. Most of the runs are well over 500' from the server room. We use products from Aitech with Cat 5/6 cable.A standard 15 pin VGA cable can be use with a max. distance of 25'. The cables are available on Ebay. If you want to run longer, and not spend a lot of money, a VGA video splitter is another option. The splitters "split" the VGA signal to one or more outputs. Most splitters have a built in video amp. So your VGA cable run can be a lot longer. The splitters are also available on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't teach you how to make video, but it will show you how to use video with LOR.
