im trying to expierement with this stuff so im new so dont knock me for being a rookie because i know how pitiful i sound at the moment.
rock.
Are you DJ-ing using the Laptop? As that might hog the machine for doing something with the projector.
I assume as you mentioned downloading Arkaos that you're creating a mix in iTunes then running the visualisation on the projector, full screen.
Leaving you with nothing to do...
However, if you were to plug the camera directly into the projector, you could have a back drop of whatever you filmed earlier, or you could leave it live, perhaps on some cool lights or something?
I think that DV cameras need the tape removing though if you're running them as a live feed, otherwise they have a timed shut-off onto standby.
Another thought, is somehow setting up a live radio broadcast (shoutcast, is that right?) and then tuning into it thru iTunes, and running the visuals that way.
Would that work, anyone? It just came to me then - can you add more radio stations to iTunes? Help me AND krossfyter!!!
Hope I helped, let me know if you have more questions.
