i am trying to figure out how to set up and mix visuals from three web cams on to three screens. i have an edirol and a mac powerbook and three "soon to be borrowed" isight cameras. i don't have long to experiment so i am looking for some jump start advice. the cams are firewire and the edirol is rca and svideo and my computer has only one firewire and one svideo in. i am wondering if i get a firewire hub could i plug them all into the laptop for effects but then how would i separate them out for projection. is this even possible with a single computer? and is there such a thing as a firewire to rca converter that i could use to go directly into the edirol or a projector? its a brain pretzel.:help:

I'd say get three spycams - will cost about $60 each, and have RCA out. Large electronics or security stores will sell these.
