color=#0000ff size=2>You probably only need one PC these days (the documentation
that refers to separate computers for control, video and audio is rather out of
date). If you search the AG-TECH mailing list, you should be able to find advice
on good video capture cards and display cards that will work for your cameras
and multiple projectors. XP or Linux should work equally well as the toolkit is
released on both platforms.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
