<div dir="ltr">I am sure technically one could light a stage using video projectors, no one has yet mentioned what I consider the biggest obstacle. Who is going to create the software, IE the video for even one projector never mind hundreds. Even now when directors ask for video in a show (because that makes their show high end and contemporary :-) ) everyone at the production meeting immediately sinks down in their chairs to say NOT ME! Even if there is a video designer, most shows simply cannot afford 1 full length video feed, never mind many. <div>So sorry there might be a few shows to play with the idea, but I for one will not hold my breath waiting.</div><div>Mike</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">Michael Katz<br><a href="mailto:narishkup@gmail.com" target="_blank">narishkup@gmail.com</a><br><span>C: <span id="gc-number-44" class="gc-cs-link" title="Call with Google Voice">857.383.0020</span></span></div></div>

But in my original post I was not envisioning a bank of 10 $100K projectors but more like 100 $1000 projectors. The technology that would need to become more managable is on the server end. It is already possible to download shareware that will allow 10 or so independent video feeds from a single machine. But that single machine with 10 video cards is not yet available at Best Buy.<br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br></div><div>Kim Hartshorn</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div>
