I have Sparcstations, Vaxstations, and DECstations, all running X11. I would like to bring images of dynamic graphics applications into large classrooms. The images can be produced in real time in front of the classroom, or can be produced in advance, and shown to the class via video tape. I would prefer the real-time interactive display. I contacted DEC sales, and they could identify no equipment that would bridge from the workstation to Sharp QA75 dataviewer without a $20000 A/V compression device. The head of instructional television here said I should get the X images going through a PC and then get the dataviewer hooked up to that PC. I am ignorant of video technology, and little more than an X windows consumer trying to spread some knowledge about the availability of dynamic graphics tools for statistical data analysis. I would appreciate hearing from X11 users about methods for projecting dynamic graphics running in X11 to an audience or routing the graphics data to a VCR. I will summarize information on methods, equipment, and pricing -- if I get any! If it is true that the best way to go is through a PC, I would appreciate extreme detail on this option. Thank you. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Vincent J.
