Video Equiptment

Some long-throw projectors come in HD

Can do a live feed straight from a video camera

Plays DVDs

Uses VGA cables

The further away the projector is from the screen the less defined the image becomes.

To prevent shadows being cast you could invert the image and then place the projector behind the screen removing the possibility of shadows. Mainly behind the set or stage.

You would use a long-throw projector over a short if in a large space because they can be placed further away from the screen but still get a decent image where as a short throw would not reach the distance a long could. These are normally used in assembly halls for shows .

You can manually focus the image

Uses VGA cables

Also has USB input

Also plays DVDs

Flip out mirrors, these reflect the image to hit screens in a possible awkward place

I would use a short over a long if you don’t have too much space for example a classroom. This is because if you move the projector too far the image becomes pixelated and then eventually too poor quality to see. Another example is using them in a bedroom for watching DVDs.

The matrox works with Qlab to split the image coming through the Mac computer into three different images. (matrox only works on apple) . Also the same image can be sent too three different projectors at the same time.
