    How to control multiple projectors (power on/off)

    Thanks again for all your input. We haven't decided yet. We'll be discussing your ideas this week-end. Hopefully decide in the next week or so. Everything is still on the table, but we're leaning toward a non-Epson projector. This was my first time at Control Booth. It's definitely been...

    How to control multiple projectors (power on/off)

    Interesting idea! We'd need to run 2 130' cables, which is ok. I haven't worked with fibre optics (other than plugging in my TV/sound system). Can you shoot the remote right at the cable end, or do you need transmitters and recievers at the ends of the optic cable? I noticed some of the online...

    How to control multiple projectors (power on/off)

    Thanks for all your input. It's beginning to look like a different brand projector is about the only way to keep it simple. We felt Epson gives the most bang for the buck (as did several dealers), but part of Epson's economy is a single remote for all. I looked into the Epson EMP control, but I...

    How to control multiple projectors (power on/off)

    Both projectors will be on the same HDMI cable. A blank powerpoint screen would blank both projectors. As of now, we plan to always send the same image to both projectors. This is part of the "keep it simple..." objective. It will depend on the activity if we use the front, back or both.

    How to control multiple projectors (power on/off)

    We had been using a remote power on/off in the ceiling on our old projector, since it had no remote capability, and this was concern as it's fan usually stayed on after it was turned off. But the Epson documentation says this is not a problem to remove power while it's still on. I suppose we...

    How to control multiple projectors (power on/off)

    We turn on the projector(s) for hymn lyrics or for a special presentation (missionary video, kids camp, etc.) then turn it off during the sermon. Or we may only turn the rear projector on for the singers up front who are doing special music (facing the congregation), and again turn it off for...

    How to control multiple projectors (power on/off)

    We have an Epson EX7200; thinking of adding an Epson Powerlite1835. No IR bypass jack on the 7200. The projectors are hanging from a 14 foot ceiling. about 10' apart. We are controlling them from our laptop desk in the back of the sanctuary. We have line of sight to the front of one projector...

    How to control multiple projectors (power on/off)

    I'm not sure how the Xantac would work; we're not running coax. We have one laptop on one 130' amplified HDMI cable. We plan to use a powered (amplified) HDMI splitter with 15' cables to the two projectors. If we ran a coax for the Xantac it would not be connected to the equipment at either end...

    How to control multiple projectors (power on/off)

    We have an Epson EX7200 on a 130' HDMI cable with a built in amplifier. We plan to use an HDMI amplified splitter with a 15' cable to each projector. Sorry for the delayed response - all the info was at church. We're looking at an Epson Powerlite 1835 for the second projector.

    How to control multiple projectors (power on/off)

    We have a new Epson projector on our church ceiling. We are going to install a second projector. We would like to have another Epson like the one we have, but I understand Epson uses the same signal for all projectors. Sometimes we only want one projector on, so we want to control them...
