[net.micro.atari16] Class demo using ST

RDROYA01@ULKYVX.BITNET (Robert Royar) (09/04/86)

I teach a writing course at this university and have been developing a
set of programs too run on an IBM-PC and a Vax system.  But my
computer is an ST.  I would like to be a little subversive and demo
the "environment" on my 1040 (color).  Our school has large screen
projection TVs that they use for demos with Apple computers.  Since
the demo will be for our entire department, I would like to be able to
use the projection system (Sony).

My question is what do I need to connect the ST to a system like this.
Or what more info would one of you kindly readers need to help me out.
There is a DIN and an RCA (phono plug) input on the projector, but the
department that maintains them doesn't know much about the technical
info, and the technical info guys don't know anything about computers.
So I'm pretty much on my own.  Any help would be appreciated.  Who
knows I might be able to convince the department that it's time to
develope an ST based writing lab!

If the projection system has an RGB input, all you should need is a cable or
adaptor to make the connections from the Atari RGB output to the right input
connections on the projector.  At worst you might have to wire up such an
adaptor.
