We are wanting to get into projection and am Looking for suggestions. We are trying to cover a 20'high x 40'wide string curtain and vinyl cyc with stills or some movement.
I have hd/sdi, genlok, and cat 5e cables already run to two locations. Thinking that I would be able to edge blend two projectors they are about 56' away from the string curtain and 60' from the vinyl cyc. The side angle will be about 40 to 45 degrees.
I think they will give me a budget of about 60k to purchase.
I am thinking of a MAC Pro, solid state external drive with Qlab3 and probably two Christie 10k projectors.
1) Will that sharp side angle cause to much keystoning or do todays projects and software easily adjust for that?
2) I am looking for a quality device to go between the mac and projector.
3) Are these projectors pretty noisey if above peoples heads?
A dealer suggested I look into Green Hippo and Barco Projectors.
4) Should I stick with mac/qlab3 or jump to green hippo? Is there a huge learning curve?
