    Qlab, blackmagic and blended projectors - Oh My!

    They are fixed to the I-Beams and concrete slabs of the roof and wall structure - so pretty solid. We haven't bought the mounts yet, but I'm imagining they will be on plates that are scaf-clamped onto the bars.Ah yes - we did have a stacked projector system in another area that were on...

    Qlab, blackmagic and blended projectors - Oh My!

    You guys are scaring me! We are using epson projectors for what it's worth. We've been very happy with them in the past. The big factor in our favour is that this will be a very large image seen from very far away - the closest anyone will be sitting will be about 12 metres - (about 39 feet)...

    Qlab, blackmagic and blended projectors - Oh My!

    Thanks for your reply. Yes it's going to be a permanent install on fixed bars that are rarely accessed - so hopefully they won't get any bumping or bouncing. Your comments about not being able to keystone and lens shift is causing some concern though! I've spoken with the manufacturer and they...

    Qlab, blackmagic and blended projectors - Oh My!

    Hey theatre bods, we are just about to buy a bunch of equipment in order to give us full cyc projection. Given the geometry of the place, this is only possible via two edge blended projectors.The second hurdle is the ability to play any walk-up client's (we are a multi-use space)...

    What Projector for Rear-pro full width onto Cyc?

    OK...wow. That's way more than I thought we needed. Not having done the maths, I was thinking, well if we have a 4200 lumen doing an ok job, if we bumped it up a couple of thousand to 7-8k we'd be rockin. But you guys have certainly put as straight there. We may have to look at front...

    What Projector for Rear-pro full width onto Cyc?

    Thanks ruinexplorer. The set memory for different screen positions isn't really a deal breaker, because it will never happen within a show (although now that I've said that, you can bet someone will ask for it!). But often people will want to use our smaller rear pro screen at the front of...

    What Projector for Rear-pro full width onto Cyc?

    Museav: Aha! You're absolutely right. In my effort to be as precise as possible, I was looking at the maximum projected size in the manual for the NEC, which of course would be at a much larger distance than from where we usually project. In actuality the largest size we are getting from that...

    What Projector for Rear-pro full width onto Cyc?

    Hi guys, just been reading through a few other threads kind of similar to this, but with important differences... We currently have a NEC MT1075 projector (1024x768, 4200 ANSI lumens) which actually does a reasonably nice job of rear projecting onto our cyc. However, we are starting to...
