I've had this (crazy?) idea at the back of my head for some time. I'm sure it would be OK to scan in (HP 6100C) photos into Power Point for this 17 inch computer screen but have my doubts about being able to project it on a big 112 inch wide screen from the Barco 808S . Seems to me the pixellation would be ghastly or is there some other program I should consider? Or is the HP 6100C the limiting factor?

I've not worried about how to hook up a computer to the Barco** to be able to use Power Point or something else from the computer until the photos -> slides idea is known to be feasible. Maybe the whole concept is unworkable?

Anyone any ideas on the subject?

Thanks

John

** The Barco has ports to take composite video, S-video, RGB with composite synch on green, component R-Y, Y, B-Y with composite synch on Y, and, if I install a Tri-level synch module it would accept RGB with tri level synch and component video with tri level synch. At the moment video feed is from an enhancer/switcher into RGB.
