[quote=balex;97702]Hey folks. I've been trying to find a low-cost, easily implemented solution to a problem that I've been having, but there's precious little that I can find on the topic.

The quality overall need not be "stellar." I don't need any high def options or anything. So long as the general action is captured, projected and is generally visible I'm happy.
I'm open to any and all information and suggestions. I've been trying to solve this for a while now but all the local electronics stores are clueless, and I'm not willing to make a $500 purchase on only a "hunch" that it might work.
Thanks!

First Off, welcome to the booth! I'm certain you'll have all the answers you need in short order.
Secndly, I'm not a vidiot, but, I can tell you it's not about the number people in the room, it's;
What's your throw distance? < how far from the projector to the screen>
What's your screen size?
Front or rear projection?
$500 for a video projector? I spent $5000.00 on mine and it's a low end machine. A good projector for public use < lot's of use good clarity, variety of throws> is apt to run $20 - $30 k
