New video projection set up


February 15, 2006

No one writes blog posts or buying giudes for church plants or small churches. What is a good buy that won’t break your budget? What are good products that work in church settings or for mobile churches? So I am going to write about the products that we bought when we decided to go to two projection screens.

Robbie decided that he wants to go to two video screens during our gatherings. So this week I’ve been researching a few things about sending video from one source to two screens. We purchased an identical set of projector (Tobisha TLP790, 3000 Lumens) and screen that we currently run but we also had to purchase a vga splitter and amplipher. I decided on the2-Port UXGA Monitor Splitter Extender from Cables 2 Go. It had good reviews, its a little cheaper than other name brand products and has the same specs as the name brand products. I am also looking into vga over cat5. I found a tutorial on how to make your own cables, which I done some of that before but I’m not so sure about the soddering part for the vga ends. But this site also gives you info on how to make s-video to cat5 and component to cat5. I’m looking for some already done connectors for each end of the cable so if you know of any shoot me the info.

My friend Phil over at Real Life in Clermont recommended this site Dazian, they sell the material for projection screens if you want to make them yourself. He said that it could save you a good bit.
