Problem of unfocusing our image

Post by kombat_chel »

Hello,

There is a necessity during the show to project video on one object and then another video on the other object by the same projector.

The problem is that the objects are located on different depths, the distance is about 7 meters.

Thus, we face a problem of unfocusing our image.

Questions:

1. Is it possible to prepare video for the second object in advance, e.g. originally unfocused?

2. Or are there any media servers which can help focus our image on the second object?

Thank you.

If you want both images in focus on both surfaces you need two projectors, one for each.

if you only have one, then you have to compromise, either having one in perfect focus,
or what I would do, having the focus 1/3 rd the distance from the closest plane,so every image will be blurred a bit.
zoom out the projector and move it as far away as you can, so the relative focus distance will be smaller, thus the images will be more focused.
