Thanks for helping out. I dont think it was
ghosting, but i have never expirienced
ghosting before. Im getting that
ghosting would be an
image about the same size slightly offset from your
image, faint but obvious maybe like an old tv set would get (not sure if your old enough to remember, Im 45). Thats not so much the case, Ill get back to the
image, 1st let me give you the set up. video was set up at front of
house with the PA maybe 80' from
stage. The 9x12 was center
stage to ceiling height 15' rear projection
screen Dalite fastfold, Hitachi
projector about 6' high and far enough back to fill
screen, set to mirror, then something I never saw at home in the settings, but after I mirrored it wanted a mirror h or mirror v (horizontal and vertical I assume). Now back to
FoH there was a laptop for
powerpoint inbetween sets, a DvD player for quick
intro movie and two motion backgrounds, and a JVC GYDV500 tripoded cam shooting straight ahead to the
stage and
screen, all 3 items were plugged into a $50
switcher. The
powerpoint and dvd looked great and were issue free so Ill leave them at this
point. The cam was wired from the
bnc out through a 10' or so
bnc cable probably rg to the
switcher and adapted at the
switcher end with a
bnc to
rca adaptor then plugged into the
switcher. Out of the
switch was 3 100' lines of the RG suggested to me in my 1st post a month ago, and all 3 were coupled by
bnc to
bnc couplers, at the
projector end there was a
bnc to
rca coupler then plugged into the
rca in on the
projector.
As for the
image, imagine the cam pulled in tight enough to get a shot of the performer from roughly the waist up. That pretty much filled the
screen from top to bottom with a little frame space over his head, and a pretty good amount of frame to the left and right. i didnt notice anything until he pulled the
lens back for a wider shot. So imagine the
image Im shooting is now from the ankles up, behind that, very clearly defined is another
image of the same thing only its considerably larger. So large in fact that my
image was showing from the feet up and the other
image was filling the
screen and only showing about from the knees to mid torso. I immediatley made him pull the cam tighter, the secondary
image pulled tighter as did my
image. Once we were back to the tighter shot, the secondary
image was from maybe upper thighs to mid chest and stayed there th entire night. It was definatley a live shot in the fact that it was in time with the performers movment. The cam was about 8' high, and I dont know if it matters but there was a follow spot over our right shoulder about 12' high. I hope this is everything you need to know, sorry so long winded but I wanted to try and
cover everything.......................Thanks!!!!!!!
