??? I use an old Minolta hobby-type video camera and a
pencil as a pointer. I do a lot of very tight closeups and
very slooooow panning, and it looks fine on our TVs.
The computer system I use is a PC with a 15" screen but I'm
going to try it with a Toshiba notebook with an
active-matrix LCD screen this week.
