your laptop, either d-sub (trapazoid)or digital out for the
monitor, USB for the Dye-Sub and Webcam.<br>
You can run both monitors at the same time w/sparkbooth running on
one and a standard desktop on the other (extended desktop) or the
same running on both (dual view)<br>
You sould set it up on your kitchen table to test it before running
out and doing a wedding.</p>

<p>Thanks, that helped me a lot!<br>
I will definetly be setting up my kitchen booth before a real
wedding haha.</p>
<p>Do you use sparkbooth? If so what webcam do you use? I'm in a
predicament on using what model of webcam. Does quality get lost
and visible on the print? Aren't somepictures blured especially if
guests are moving constantly?</p>
<p>Thank<br>

C600 and C910. The C910 is the "camera of choice" for Sparkbooth
because of it's nice lens and ability to get 5 more fps then most
other cams.<br>
Using a webcam is not the optimal way to run a Photo-booth but SB
does a great job with 90% of the experience and only slightly
misses the mark with motion blurring. If you can get your
subject(s) to not flail around (not always easy) then you will get
pictures that look excellent at 4x6 size....but not larger than
that.</p>
<p>The author of SB has been doing tons of work to make use of the
multi-megapixel cams available these days but the program used to
code SB (Adode AIR) isn't as webcam friendly as is could be

option?<br>
I see the stealth switch is so expensive. Also does SB have option
for b&w etc?</p></div>Jaysontag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/149083622012-04-02T14:54:31Z2012-04-02T14:54:31ZScreen inside the booth<div><p>The very best option is to use a touchscreen LCD so you don't
have to mess with buttons.<br>
I am a computer/gadget geek so I wired all mine using a couple
methods. Reply back if you have your heart set on actual buttons
and I will give you a couple suggestions.</p></div>Rob (ZCZ)tag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/149083622012-04-02T14:57:29Z2012-04-02T14:57:30ZScreen inside the booth<div><p>Yes please!

You will need arcade buttons with micro-switches, I like these ones
for color changing and "stop session"<br>

I would recommend a large 3" dome for your start button<br>

Next you need something to translate botton pushes to keyboard
commands, you can either dismantle a windows keyboard and hotwire
the F-keys in combination with "Autohotkey" software ...........or
order one of these:<br>

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/6-key-usb-handle-hid-keyboard-173cm-ca...</a>
and solder some connections (I could illustrate) and use the
accompanying software to emulate a keyboard.<br>
I have one method in each of my two booths.</p>
<p>Feel free to ask more and I will get more detailed.</p></div>Rob (ZCZ)tag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/149083622012-04-02T16:58:46Z2012-04-02T19:09:06ZScreen inside the booth<div><p>WOW ThANX!</p>
<p>so basically I would solder the big arcade button to the USB
keyboard (<a href=

and then that would send the 'signal' to the computer?</p></div>Jaysontag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/149083622012-04-02T19:10:27Z2012-04-02T19:10:28ZScreen inside the booth<div><p>I think im slightly confused. But i do have a small

a little more to it if you wan to have the buttons lit also (12v
power supply)</p>
<p>I will take some pictures tonight</p></div>Rob (ZCZ)tag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/149083622012-04-02T20:33:08Z2012-04-02T20:33:08ZScreen inside the booth<div><p>I await your photos :)</p>
