Thanks Richard. But there's so much going on right at the start of the
live show, I'd rather show the splash screen instead of adding in not
having the video wire hooked up until the last second. Then again, this
was our first go at it, maybe I'll feel comfortable enough with it in
couple of weeks to do that. I was hoping there was some setting
somewhere that tells the Videonics to not put out any signal until told
to do so.
