Help setting up a commercial video screen at a show?

[Ferengo]

Anyone on here able to help with this?

The company I work for has asked me to look into this. What we need is a video screen (10" or so but size isn't the be all and end all) to play a promotional video at a show. Easily done, it also needs to play when someone walks past it. Again this I have done.

What the real problem is trying to get the video to play from the start each time. If someone walks off then the video just picks up where it left off when the next person comes along.

We're using a digital photoframe but are willing to spend that money to get what we need. Anyone have any ideas as to how we could do this?

Thanks, G.

Hey Big G. Currently it is a 10 inch screen but we can go larger if required. It's a small booth so I'd say no larger than a 32" screen.

Grant, it sounds like you need to control the video playback externally. Best way to do that is gonna be with a bit of software. I've no experience of this particular bit of software, but a quick google search came up with this: Showmagic (http://www.showmagic.com/index.php?page=products&series=3)

Looks like it will do what you want it to.

Edit: Oh, just looked at the price of the AV software. Yikes!
