Projector Playground

Getting your projection set up correctly takes time. Brian Kim has put together diagrams & specs of all our projectors. Set up your project early so you have time to chose the right projector & troubleshoot. There are very few places where projectors can be ceiling mounted so plan alternatives ahead of time.

Pick the right projector for your project:

• If you are planning on projecting on a wall you can use one of the regular classroom projectors. For a smaller video sculpture piece the little Samsungs might do the trick.
• Does the projector have a zoom or do you need it to be set in exactly the right position?
• what are the lighting conditions in the place your work will be seen - how bright does your projector need to be?

Set up:

• Make sure you can read the menus easily (flip the hor. or vertical settings if necessary).
• Set to the correct aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9).
• Play with the keystone feature until you have clean right angles in all four corners.
• Look at some of the footage you will be using and play with the color/hue/brightness settings to see what works best for your work.
