I am hoping to install VDJ and play music videos
Where do I look online for the equipment to do this. They have house mixer to pre amps to 10 loudspeakers. There is an 10x10 space where I want to install an LCD screen with in breakable glass if possible, plus a couple TVs that I would want to stream the videos to
Can somebody point me in the right direction? I will be purchasing full version for this

Here is what I use for Mobile Video DJing;
- PC/Mac/Laptop with HDMI port (It is much better)
- at least 2GB memory (dedicated for Video) - I have 8GB Memory on my PC Laptop
- at least 1TB space (store music video) - I have 1TB internal and 1TB external storage drives
- Dual Video Card Support
- Projector with HDMI Port or LCD TV
- HDMI Cable
The reason I use HDMI is because of the video and sound quality. There is a difference.
This is a starting point. Tweak it to your taste and best of luck.

Go with VGA as I doubt your using hd videos anyways plus it cheaper and under the right conditions it'll look just as good.......plus with HDMI you could possibly run into problems with hdcp protection crap. VGA, cheap, simple and it just works......

Right............but he did say he'd be doing all the install work himself.
And you should look into a Extron DVS 304, one unit for everything BUT HDMI..........

Beat, that unit you talk about is up there in price, however I may be needing to build a new system soon. Will that bad boy convert from HDMI to composite without issues?? I am asking this as I maintain 2 systems (The house system as well as my own). I saw you have tried other converters in the past, did any of the others work?? I am also trying to get the company to in the future upgrade their equip. If I can successfully get them to do this I wont need a converter as we run an 8in 8out system now, but if I can get them to do one HDMI it will make my life easier but I see they are around $4000.

Sorry but you guys are actually advising a guy that is about to do a fresh video install to start by working with outdated A/V technology? Almost all laptops today and video cards include an HDMI output for video out. Not to mention that that all the TV's now have HDMI and Promo Only is doing all it's music video's in HD now as well. Why on earth would you want to go with old standard definition? Because it's easier or cheaper? HD looks 100 times better than old svideo and the "yellow RCA". If you don't understand that then you should try it for yourself and see the difference because it is huge.
Simple setup is HDMI out of your laptop or desktop into an HDMI splitter and then out to your TV's. Split as many times as you like to go to multiple TV's. Cheapest place I have found to get long HDMI cables and splitters is http://www.firefold.com
Don't waste your money buying one big unit to run all the tv's. Just get a splitter for each tv and daisy chain them together. Simple and looks great.
My advice for new install is to never invest in technology that is outdated and on it's way out because then you will just have to spend more money replacing and upgrading it later.

@Brian, that unit doesn't have a HDMI in but VGA in out to component works. I have one spot and that's exactly how I do it. I've used some Monoprice adaptors but my picture was moved to the left for reason and I never could get it fixed. Another one I tried was supposed to upscale to a True HD but every time I maxed it out it wouldn't work. I know they have made another model which does accept HDMI but I think it's something like 6 grand. The 304 isn't made anymore so you could probably find one eBay on the cheap. Also check out Kramer, they make solid u/ as well.
@James, who said anything about "svideo"?? And Promo Only, who uses them anymore? I send my picture out of my laptop at 800x600(2400x600 from the Matrox TripleHead2Go) into 2 different projectors then for the 3rd I run that out into the Extron unit and upscale it to 1600x1200!! And trust my video and visuals look good!!

One more thing, as long as your video card can support 1080p then a VGA connection is just fine plus it's cheaper to install.........

Personally I would stick with a VGA output and convert to whatever you need. HDMI is a crap connection. Literally. I work in projection and whole house AV - it's a necessary evil. Had a surge at a show that backfeed from the client's LCD panel back to my computer and blew the power supply and the display port. That stunk. I'd rather have a box converter between me and trouble in the future and I never had an issue with VGA in 15 years. I have projected in composite and no one noticed it wasn't HD and it didn't matter for those events but the projectors had quad scalers in them. You can get just as good signal out with VGA and there are plenty of converters like Extron, or on the low end Startech that can scale to any other format including HDMI. Personally I'll use HD via Component over HDMI. They also make excellent Component and VGA over Cat-5 balun's for moble use. Cheaper too if the cable gets cut. Just my 2 cents.

Sorry but you guys are actually advising a guy that is about to do a fresh video install to start by working with outdated A/V technology? Almost all laptops today and video cards include an HDMI output for video out. Not to mention that that all the TV's now have HDMI and Promo Only is doing all it's music video's in HD now as well. Why on earth would you want to go with old standard definition? Because it's easier or cheaper? HD looks 100 times better than old svideo and the "yellow RCA". If you don't understand that then you should try it for yourself and see the difference because it is huge.
Simple setup is HDMI out of your laptop or desktop into an HDMI splitter and then out to your TV's. Split as many times as you like to go to multiple TV's. Cheapest place I have found to get long HDMI cables and splitters is http://www.firefold.com
Don't waste your money buying one big unit to run all the tv's. Just get a splitter for each tv and daisy chain them together. Simple and looks great.
My advice for new install is to never invest in technology that is outdated and on it's way out because then you will just have to spend more money replacing and upgrading it later.

I totally agree with you.
I cannot understand why someone would still recommend a non-HD set-up & installation while we are actually in the 4K era already. I'm a mobile DJ and for about 5 years now I've been using only HDMI components and running everything @ 1080p. I make use of the HDMI output on either of my laptops, split the video using cheap entry-level HDMI splitters driving 2 HD projectors. On long cable runs (>25m) I use cheap HDMI repeaters without any problems - you don't have to spend lots of money on studio quality video splitters etc. For multiple displays throughout a club, you can daisy-chain 1x2 HDMI splitters without issues.
I will not suggest to use anything lower than HDMI equipment for a new installation, especially for a fixed installation.

3 years ago and the user obviously never did buy a full VDJ license. Maybe he never did the install either.
