[comp.sys.amiga] Needed: VCR rec'ding or audience project'n of X11

ins_asag@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu (Steven Gabriel) (12/11/90)

I am no guru but I would like to bring dynamic graphics
applications in statistics to a large classroom.  Our
hardware running X11: Vaxstation 2000, Sparcstation-1,
DECStation 3100.  We would prefer to display from the
Vaxstation.  The displays are preferably real time, but
it would be acceptable simply to send the images to
tape for later showing from a VCR.

According to people here, it can't be done from the
megapixel displays on the workstations.  The
graphics images have to be sent to a PC, whence
VGA signals are sent to a Sharp QA75 dataviewer.
Or, it can be done if I spend $20000 on an A/V
compressor, which is out of the question.

I am told that Amiga equipment may be relevant to
my problem as it is running X11 and is primed for
multimedia applications.  Anyone with relevant
experience or information, please contact

Many thanks.
