Input signals must be accepted directly from PCs, UNIX workstations, and Macintosh computers, as well as NTSC video tape and DVD via S-video connection. Projector must display at normal vertical refresh rates for all input devices. Projector light output must exceed 1000 lumens; remote-control zoom and focus are required (see below for other remote-control requirements). Projector or associated video switcher must have S-video output for recording. Projector to be mounted on the center of the ceiling soffit closer to the MPR stage. Projector must connect to computer input stations at the stage, as well as the projection booth's NTSC sources. 1b. Portable Video Projector at up to XGA (1024x768 pixels uncompressed) with expansion to full-screen images of SVGA, and NTSC signals. Input signals must be accepted directly from PCs, UNIX workstations, and Macintosh computers, as well as NTSC video tape and DVD via S-video connection. 2. High-fidelity sound/video system to operate with video projector for high quality audio, Dolby ProLogic and Digital Surround modes available with 5.1-channel output (but, a subwoofer is not needed) and high-fidelity loudspeakers independent of any previously-installed Public Address system.
