[olug] Large digital clock display

[Jay Swackhamer]

SCENARIO ONE:
If you have a video card with Composite TV-Out, then
Hardware = Channel 3/4 RF Modulator: http://www.smarthome.com/7756.html

If you do note have a video card with Composite TV-Out, then
Hardware = VGA-to-TV Convertor     : http://www.smarthome.com/7743.html
           Channel 3/4 RF Modulator: http://www.smarthome.com/7756.html

The Channel 3/4 RF Modulator could also just be a VCR, if you have an
un-used one.

Software = ntp/ntpdate  : http://www.ntp.org/
           dclock       : ftp://ftp.ac-grenoble.fr/ge/Xutils/


> SCENARIO ONE:
>
> I need to use and older PC to do ONE task...
>
> Probably use a PII to display a time accurate digital
> clock. This display would output to an RF modulator
> then display on two TV monitors.
>
> It would be hooked up to an internet connection to
> keep the time accurate.
>
> What hardware (other than video card) and software
> would I need to do this?
>
> SCENARIO TWO:
>
> I use a newer PC to do MORE THAN ONE task...
>
> A PII that already has a Firewire output BUT will get
> an additional card as video output to display a time
> accurate digital clock. This display would output to
> an RF modulator then display on two TV monitors.
>
> It would be hooked up to an internet connection to
> keep the time accurate.
>
> It would be running Windoze XP home and the desktop
> would be used for other applications while the digital
> clock is displaying on-screen (in background of other
> applications that wouldn't be output).
>
> What hardware (other than video card) and software
> would I need to do this?
>
> Thanks.
