Hello everyone, have a bit of a sticky situation here.
In December the town has whats called a "Chain of Lights Festival" Stuff going on around places all around town.
Anyways, the towns Parent Club wants to show a movie in the theatre as well as having their yearly raffle and market kind of thing. They sells spots in the Gymnasium for people to sell stuff, then outside the gym they have a raffle, and the theatre main doors are like 20 feet away from the Gym doors and right accorss fromt he raffle table, so they asked the school for permission to sue the auditorium and asked to supply someone to run it for them. Guess who gets called? : P So instead of enjoying the festivities, I am puting on a movie in the theatre that day.
Well anyways heres the thing.
I am guessing the projector on the media cart will not work all the way from the back were the light and sound board is to the screen on the stage. (Or am I wrong?)
So I am guesing we need the media cart infront of the stage, projecting onto the onstage screen. But in that case I need to get the sound board op to help me out, with walky talkies. That isnt to to bad, but, we need the computer sound to play through the speakers, which would need the sound board, int he back, but the computer needs to be with the projector.
Unless I can find a 75 foot S-Video or other video cable, I kind dont know what to do.
Does anyone have a thought of what I could do? I am thinking of instead of using the media cart, just us my own laptop to play the movie, because, well, anything is better then our schools computers xD, Anyways, I resolved the problem for sound, because I can just use the line in cable we have on the sound board to play the sound, and I can just walk between the light board and laptop and do it myself. But where will the projector be? Do you think it will work from the back of the theatre all the way to the stage? Or will a need a LONG video cable?
Not have a built in projector on the ceiling not ftw :/
Is there anything like a wireless video connector? lol, That would save my you know what.
