Hi again,

i started work in a club recently, and the most powerfull thing they got to get a good ambience on the club is the projection! but no1 working on it on full time! so on my spare time, during the weeks i try to improve some things and get the maximum perfomence of it.

we're using OPTOMA H180X:

Native Resolution: WXGA 1280 x 800
3000 ANSI Lumens
atm using VGA cables, but i bought new HDMI...

and i want to project on this surface:

actually we use 2 projectors for a 9x3 cube projection...
it is possible to do with only 1 projector?
or what distance can a projector like H180X can handle ?

Other spare question i got...
What composition resolution is best to use?? max projector resolution?

reggards ;)

put the resolution of your whole output (laptop) on the max ( nativ) resolution of the projector to avoid issues.

And if your system is powerfull enough & your content is at the high resolution as well then go with the same resolution then your projektor as resolution of the ccomposition
