[SML] Qlab and video

[Steven Hood]

Happy hijacking... I am actually looking because I have 3 separate screens. 
But, one day, I hope to use a series of projectors to project scenery on my

Question for Greg... how many video outputs does your imac have? We have a 
Blackmagic hdmi to sdi converter, but you might look into the extron dtp 
series of converters... aurora multimedia also make some...
