Re: Separate player for singer CDGs?
I use a separate player (usually) for pretty much the same reasons sevekj stated in his post in the referenced thread. I have found that my plextor is much more sensitive and less forgiving than my JVC. If their disk is dirty or scratched it causes all kinds of crap to show up on the screen or if I overlook a mediacloqued disk or a VCD disk the program will crash. Sometimes the singer will give me the wrong track # and I'll forget to double check it, that slows things waaaaay up. As an added bonus when the current track/next track information is displayed at the top of the screen it tells everybody that it's not my disk which is helpful when it's a really crappy version of the song.
As far as how it's hooked up, it's just RCA's into a cheap video switcher for my 2 computers, CDG player and DVD player. And then an RCA out to my stage TV and an RCA out to an rf modulator then into the bars coax. Pretty much the same as when it was 2 cdg players and 2 dvd.
As far as using less equipment I did get rid of 1 cdg and one dvd player but because nature abhors a vacumn I quickly found other things to fill the the space.
