130" projection of finals in fun tournys!

sheepy · October 15, 2003, 11:28:45 AM

i will hopefully be recieving a projector lense, a bit b4 the lan, this will meen that if we have a spare pc to set up then we could have a big projector screen set up in "the chill out area" that we didnt actually use last time.

this could be used for hltv or whats eva in the finals of the fun tournys or could b used to show films or anythink we wanted in the evening if ppl get tired of gaming and wanna sit down with a beer and watch summin.

ill attempt to have it put together b4 the lan, i have to make it all myself which is a bit of a biach.

good lord, you, powerful very hot bulbs and LCDs?

Hope you've got the right materials or you'll have a very hightec bonfire.

OK, I can bring along my DVD player and then everyone can bring an assortment of DVD's and we'll have a huge screen to watch them on.

Although this may detract from the games if we get into an 8 hour LotR session

Maybe not a good idea, but an idea none the less. Thoughts?

Actually, HLTV is a very good idea sheepy. Beers for the sheepster!

Oh, and what about sound? I take it the projector needs an external sound source for movie sound? If so then that kinda rules the DVD thing out. HLTV would be cool with no sound though.

I'll rip up some sticky cinema floor to complete the effect

sheepy · October 15, 2003, 02:50:57 PM

right,

its a projection unit that fits on to a tv/ monitor,

and projects the picture on to a screen or a wall.

i need to no sizes of monitor/tv that will b being used, in order to adjust the housing prior to the event as this will take ages

Gandalf · October 15, 2003, 03:08:14 PM

ahhh ic. then my dvd player will be useless.

oh well.

sheepy · October 15, 2003, 03:22:06 PM

yup pretty much

i could just make it to size of my pc monitor.

unless some one has a spare pc/monitor that we could use for this function

w00t breakthru!!!

as the england rungby game is being played at 9:30 in the morning on the sunday

through in gae discusson i found out that DA has a TV card in his comp.

there for in my pissed up logic we should b able to watch the ame on his pc.

there fore i will be adjusting the projector to the size of his monitor and we should be able to watch the game on a big screen"""

I got a little box-top areal for indoors. Want me to bring it?

Benny · October 18, 2003, 05:13:46 PM

If anyone has a decent TV card and a nice TV out...I have an LCD projector I might be able to bring, stick with Sheepys and I'll try to bring it, but no promises.

Stryker · October 19, 2003, 09:52:02 AM

I do, I have a tv card, its has the video, left, right plugs on the back.... think that is for signal out.

DarkAngel · October 19, 2003, 10:04:09 AM
