BrownOut Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I have seen a few projectors and video screens used in previous years. Who is adding video this year?I built a 8'x6' screen that takes just minutes to put up or take down. I also bought 14" by 50' of garland to wrap the frame with. I would have liked to make a huge wreath, but time and money is not going to allow it this year. I mounted a 4000 lumen Epson projector in my window, built an insert for the top of the window that has a fan and anti-glare glass in it.Even with a very bright flood light above it and a porch light right next to it, the video is much brighter- I have the settings at 2500 lumens for this test video. &hl=en&fs=1-Logan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Looks good!!!I have been wanting to add video...but it is not at the top of the list...yet...Which model Epson are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownOut Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 The projector is an Epson VS400. I tried running the video through the USB connection, but there was a delay in the image. Ended up running a VGA cable to the bedroom closet. The front fan runs at a very low RPM and puts out a ton of heat. I melted part of the window track and broke the seal on my once argon filled window. I now have a air deflector and fan added to help move air away from the glass. Another thing is I built a window insert with low glare museum glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Don Gillespie Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 That looks really good I have always wanted to run video but with the added expense of controllers and lights this year it might have to wait a year or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeH Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I've been thinking about doing video, but will have to till next year. I've been spending too much on controllers this year.MikeH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
