<p class="MsoNormal">Oh wise patrons of the list –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have been presenting digital media with 9.5K projectors fed HDMI from a computer running Q lab. We’ve run into the limit of our equipment in terms of punching through the stage lighting and are exploring higher output projectors and
LED walls as alternatives.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestions on manufacturers or equipment that is meant for theatrical use? We’d be moving it regularly between two venues and changing mounting positions on a show-by-show basis, so our priorities include:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- durability;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- flexibility in terms of arrangement (LED walls), throw distance (projectors), and mounting;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- ease of setup/strike;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- ease and flexibility in sending signal;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- budget;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- overall weight, for situations where the equipment is flown.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thoughts, on- or off-list, are welcome. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
