Re: covert HMD w/camera

i use a video capture card to input my video from the camera...im not too
sure of another way to do it (there are many kinds however from usb to pc
cards. im sure the kensington usb would work though it may be a tad bulky.
the resolution on the display is 800x225 pixels and colour (ntsc based). i
use my hmd mostly for video but when using as a monitor for windows extra
large font sizes do the trick.
