Yes, that page and I became very well acquainted last week!! We had a screening on Friday evening, and my Thursday was spent going over that page with a fine tooth comb! I think that was why we were able to pull off that evening's screening with little issue.

I'm pretty sure that we'll eventually go the dedicated PC route. The film screening portion of our programming isn't as common as it should be to justify the expense at the moment, but the more I read, the more I know its the best way to go. Thanks!

Wow! Thanks so much for the detailed response. Our space is non profit as well, so I feel your pain on prep time and such. When you're handed files as the audience is being seated... you know you're in for a stressful evening :) If I may ask, what did you do for current VLC to accomplish this...

Since adding film screenings to our regular programming, I seem to be running into issues with reliability in regards to playing those films. Our Blu-ray/DVD player is perfectly fine with playing everything we give it. But most independent films are not given to us in that format. I learn a...

This is amazing!! Thank you so much. I've been searching all over and haven't been able to find much of anything that would work.Couple of questions though:Our speakers are powered (they're part of our standard show configuration) so how do I get to each of the 5 speakers and the sub from...

Good afternoon, all!!We have recently purchased and set up all of the "ingredients" for screening films on a 23'x12' screen with 5.1 surround. We've played quite a few DVD's and Blu-Rays as tests and they all play back wonderfully!We recently realized that a lot of the materials brought to...

Thanks!!I teh googel'ed it but couldn't find anything.

Another one of those mystery pieces you find hidden under things that haven't moved in... ever!!

Thanks for the info, guys. The space is 28'x46'x15', and with the fresnels and pars that are in the air, its rare I use more then 12 at a time (we have other S4s, its that we got 15 new ones :) ) unless that week's company is special-crazy.If they were worth more, I'd just sell them. But I...

Apologies, they are all Altman and Axials 6x9's.

I found 5 of these in my theater recently. 2 work, the other 3... No clue, but I'll be following this thread closely.

Hello to all. I am just now joining this site and wished I would've sooner. Looks like a truly great site!! Now to my question :)I recently took over the position of Technical Director at a performance theater, where I used to do a week or 3, or a month or 2 every year for the last 5 years...
