I look forward to hearing how your system performs for you.  Another  
reason I'm wondering about the Sync issue, is that I'm considering  
using the QLab machine as a video conductor to accompany music tracks  
for a "canned" musical.  I'm trying to sort through all of the sync  
options that would entail.

To answer the question, We'd be starting with standard definition  
video, but would hope to be moving HD in the near future.

However I'm still wondering if anyone knows of a video matrix/switch  
that could be programmed to work with Midi Show Control, I'd love to  
know.
