Setting up AVS for Projection
Hi,
I am going to be using AVS for projection and I need to know how to do it. I need to know the following:

Firstly I have all the hardware setup and working so there is no problem there.

I need to be able to project the visualisation onto the projector and at the same time be able to edit and use Winamp on the computer screen.

I also need to know how to set AVS to shuffle through the visualisations and not just stay on the 1 visualisation... the party is going for 8 - 10hours so I have a heap of visualisations ready.

Also I have 5 DJ's playing and I need to be able to use beat recognition for their music for the AVS... so that it beats in time with their music... how do I set this up.

I am sure I will have more questions as I learn more... if someone could help me out it would be much appreciated I only have 5 days to set this all up :o)

Kind Regards
Bart

To get music from external sources to your winamp simply empty the playlist in winamp, then go for add url and type linein:// Now winamp uses the line input from your soundcard. Connect the soundcard to your music sources and make shure the soundcards recoding mixer is set to line or stereo mix or whatever is working best for you....

altodic: Try this: open the AVS menu in the config window (can't remember what it is, I'm at school with no Winamp at the mo :)), choose Fullscreen, and jack the performance all the way up to "high framerate". Now play with the reso and find the one that works best. With my P3 500 MHz (64 MB), I find that 800x600 @ 32 works great, even though it's not exactly the best quality compared to an undocked AVS window.

Or if you have a good video card with TV o-ut, plug the projecter into Tv out, set AVS to use Overlay, and set your video card to use video mirroring, so anything being overlayed, gets sent to the secondary device, or projector.
In the AVS dialog, go to settings > Presets/hotkeys, check "Randomly
switch presets"
