Catch The Mania is a Microsoft Power Point based presentation that is designed to play on any computer with the right software. What’s most important about the computer that you choose is reliability and the ability to play media files, like music or movie clips. If your computer can easily play music and movie clips, meaning they don’t skip or distort when you play them, you should be fine.
As far as other things to consider about your computer is the audio and video outputs. CTM is designed to be presented on a TV or Projector and therefore you need the ability to broadcast it from your computer to whatever devices you will be showing it on. The way to accomplish this is to check your computer for the following:
1. VGA output
2. HDMI output
3. Mini Output (Mac)
VGA output is most common on PC’s. You will see, either on the side or the back of your PC a port that looks like this. HDMI is the same, most common with PC’s you can look for a port that looks like this. With Macs it’s a little different. Most Macs have a Mini-Digital Out port and some are different than others. This is what a white Mac Book mini-DVI out looks like and this is what a silver Mac Book Pro mini-Display Port out looks like.
With the Macs you will need to get an adapter that will then connect you to the proper cord and proper input to the TV or projector
You can check the links in this article for more particulars but really what you need is the ability to play music and video and some kind of video output port. That’s it!
