We are going to be incorporating two to three flat screen panels of an as yet unspecified size (ballpark 50" range) into our next set. I'm hoping to get advice for shopping for the screens and control scheme.
What I expect to do is to use one of our existing QLab 2 licenses on a new MacMini. I expect I'll need something akin to the Matrox Triplehead and some HDMI over ethernet boxes. This sound right to everyone? I'm mostly pulling this info from my own experience and another thread posted here a little while ago.
But I don't have experience using monitors on stage. Near stage, sure, but not on it. I'm hoping to find screens that don't put out too much ambient light when in video black, but can also still compete with the stage wash to show an image.
Other possibly pertinent details:
medium sized room, 200 seat house.
No extreme viewing angles. Nobody is more than 25' off center. (though the tvs won't be center, so a few people won't get great angles)
Not married to any control scheme. Have Watchout and Qlab experience. Will probably stick to Qlab because it's well integrated into the room already, but open to recommendations.
