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 look at one that will do full width projection (the NEC only does about 12metres/500 inches diagonal, or a width of about 300 inches), which for our cyc would be about 16 metres wide (about 630 inches) and 6-7 metres high (about 250 inches).
The projector position would be about 5 metres (16.5 feet) behind, and just above the top level of the cyc.
Obviously the brighter the better, but understand that it's not going to be as good as a dedicated rear-pro screen.
More than half the time it will be used on a real rear-pro screen (but much smaller than the cyc), but it would be great if it could remember a few set sizes and focus depths so we could easily switch between screen and cyc settings.
Anybody done anything similar and have recommendations on models? prices?
Thanks!
