[LM_NET] TECH: Connecting camera to computer

[Jessica Frohn <frohnje@SCF.K12.WI.US>]

Hello Everyone,
This question is from my principal, who wants to be able to connect a
digital camera to a computer not to view pictures, but to be able to use
the screen to enlarge what the camera "sees."  So for example, if someone
were to dance in front of the camera lens, the computer screen would show
them dancing at the same time.  He's not concerned with recording--just
showing action in real time.  So the questions at hand would be:

1: Can this be done with a digital camera, or would he need a video camera?

2: Either way, what sort of cord would this require?

3: Would said cord be available in a length of 15 feet or more?

Thanks to anyone who can help off-hand.  It's not a super-pressing issue,
but I figure if I can come back to him with an answer, it'll be worth a
couple of brownie points.  :)

Happy New Year!
