Projecting Itunes Visualiser, Screen Savers Etc., how to do it Options

[jimdubpram]

I run a small party rig (see www.dubpram.co.uk ) At the moment I place my laptop on top of my rig with a screen saver or visualiser running to provide a bit of visual stimulas.
I'm thinking of investing in a digital projector and screen and would like to project out onto a bigger surface. I know nothing about projectors so is this possible.? Would it run via USB ? What other kit would I need ?
Any help /ideas would be appreciated.

Hi
dunno if this will help but I was at sounds-expo in London last week and found a piece of kit that blew me away. Check out Edirol's site and take a look at the MD-P1-S motion dive.Tokyo performance package. You would need a screen and laptop but no projector and the images and control you get are fantastic. Hope this is useful. Regards Oxian

Thanx. Looks like a great bit of kit and not too expensive either. Will definitely check it out.!!

There's a digital video output on your laptop - it looks almost like a USB port. Apple sells a $20 adapter that converts this to a VGA plug - the type that desktop monitors use. Most projectors accept a VGA input (that's what they were originally designed for), so you can plug the iBook into the projector and display whatever it's doing on a screen. I use it all the time - it works like a charm.
