Got me a Centris 660AV! Now what to use it for...

MillenniumPanda Starting Member Australia 10 Posts	Posted - 10 Nov 2002 : 02:02:51 Got a great little Centris 660AV. Came with a 12X SCSI CD-ROM, 68Mb of RAM as well. :D I plugged in my spare 540Mb SCSI HDD, now wondering what to do with it... it flies under MacOS 7.5.3! How could i make use of the AV components?
maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 10 Nov 2002 : 02:36:25 Great score! You can make use of the AV ports by doing the following: 1. You can use a TV as a monitor or record video to a VCR by holding down Command, Option, T and V, or something like that. 2. Apple Video Player will allow you to plug something into the AV in ports, and display the input in a window on the screen. Btw, this should be in 68k Conquests. ~Coxy will probably move it there when he gets back. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 6

Are you feeling OK? because unless it was already moved... this IS in 68k conquests :) great job on getting that 660Av though... the AV machiens are really SCHWEET computers... I usually used mine for capturing video and simple cut and edits and the like... sometimes it's input is grainy... and you find yourself changing the # of display colors alot in order to see things in rightly color when you've frozen the screen or recoreded a video... an interesting thing comes to mind... an interesting thing that'd work better with an 840AV and one of those Jackhammer SCSI cards, and even a different AV card and some HUGE A$$ HDDs.. if you were able to set it up to record TV shows (thru an external tuner) that'd be cool, or you could record your entire VHS collections over to the HD and catalog them and have then accessable thru a filemaker pro database :) just some thoughts Official 68k videographer

Can anyone point me in the right direction? -- I'll never get out of this world alive... Liberated 15 68k Macs!

I don't know if this is the right place for this question, but, since we're on the subject of av; I have a 6400/180 with Phillips tuner and av input cards I pulled from a 5200. It's running on 8.1 right now, bug I'm thinking of going up to 8.6. Anyway, does anyone have some good ideas for video capture software for this setup? Thankss. The Lightning Stalker

Even more coincidental, is the mention of a 660AV and a 6400, both of which I own. Hmm...interesting. I have used a LCD projector to show some of my photography (hooked to a PC, unfortunately.) It is an experience that one should not miss in his/her lifetime to see your work on a grand scale, especially if it's on a Mac.
